Truly people who were bored last episode I don't get you. Cammie's story of her husband choking and her calling 911 and getting voicemail wasn't just a tragic character beat it also highlights the reality of many 911 call centres: they are understaffed, overworked and underfunded and that puts all of us at risk.
Yeah I mean I get that the explanation for his death was a little underwhelming but like... it really does happen. And as an actual firefighter/paramedic, I know how critically understaffed dispatch centers are and how that can impact us on the daily, especially when they start getting desperate and dont always make good hiring choices. I get that many people only watch for the firefighters, but the reality is that dispatch is an integral part of the system and we would suffer without them. Their story and their struggles deserve to be heard, too.
