This box Q is instructive for referencing our sick call at 21st and Tyler.
00:09
What was the traffic on 21st, Tyler?
00:13
I was just checking to see what you'd like to do on this.
00:16
They called saying that their dad was having trouble with pneumonia and coughing.
00:22
They took their personal vehicle and I don't know why they were calling because they didn't want EMS to respond.
00:29
And they're not going to pull over for us and I don't know exactly where they're last known to be at.
00:33
So I wanted to check with you if we could clear it or if you'd like us to call back and see if you can reason with them a little further.
00:41
Negative, they're driving, they're not going to stop, we're not going to chase them.
00:44
We stay available unless they call back.
