Carried from engine 3 on 41.
00:18
See, we don't have a medical emergency here.
00:20
We got another issue.
00:23
Do you have an APP for style?
00:29
On the way, T, you have a nature?
00:36
The patient's stating he just needs to talk to somebody.
00:38
It's more of a social issue.
00:40
He's having help getting around, and he's going to have to have some other kind of assistance.
00:48
Yeah, but we'll get one in the way.
00:50
Go ahead.
00:51
Entering the end of three.

Go ahead.

Raleigh is asking, will the patient need a transport unit or just APP?
01:07
Okay, I'm not sure about all that.
01:09
The patient is going to need some kind of help.
01:10
I'm not sure if he'll go somewhere tonight or what services they can offer.
01:16
See if I'm direct.
01:18
Thank you.
01:23
Be a working vehicle, fire.
01:29

01:33
I would add 133 to this.
01:40
Central, you copy?
01:42
Yeah, I'm adding 133.
01:45

But then Raleigh dropped in an EMS call, which I wasn't sure about.
02:03
Ten and four, there was a person delivering papers that matches that description who has access to this facility.
02:11
Do you have anything further?
02:25
I can try to contact the caller by phone.
02:28
She did. I found the phone number for the caller.
02:32
Are you in room 306 yet?
02:36
10-4[1], but there's nobody coming to the door to meet us, and if this is a sufficient person call, wouldn't that be a law enforcement call?
02:49
Ten to four, so that's exactly why I'm not sure why it became a medical call.
02:57
995 to engine very.
03:03
I'm from North Carolina.
03:05
I'm going to ask.
03:12
He's a 67-year-old male patient.
03:15
He lives here alone.
03:17
He has significant medical history.
03:20
It does have other history as well, read to the law enforcement.
03:25
He can't get around his apartment.
03:26
He's asking to talk to somebody.
03:28
We got it as sort of a transfer.
03:30
But we got here.
03:31
He said he doesn't have any kind of medical condition.
03:33
It's more of a social issue.
03:39
Okay, I'm about 25 minutes out.
03:47
The patient right now saying he doesn't want to be transported by ambulance, he just needs some, he needs to talk to another health professional.
03:54
So I don't think an ambulance is going to be necessary, but if that changes, if you hear, I'll let you know.
