Hey Jason. It was kind of you to look after your neighbor. You may have had easier success without the covid rants to the emergency operator and the medics, but... The thing is, regardless of nations or the plandemic, there are genuinely good people out there. Certainly concentrations vary among groups and areas of whatever country, but I would wager that the medics that come to your door in the middle of the night are more likely to be. And it sounds like it was medics and not cops, which is good.

Hope you're not feeling too rough today :)

So the operator could have provide more helpful info for a concussed old dude but her staying on the line was not critical otherwise.

The medics were not bothered by my rants and agreed - or seemed to - and their treatment of Todd was not hindered or delayed. I made sure that Todd was always top priority.

Here's a photo of the ambulance and 4 cop cars parked on the street for a while filling out paperwork. I went to talk to the ambulance couple a little more to thank them, forgot to get their photo, and didn't get a photo of the other 2 cop cars that showed up making it a long line, almost comical for the over-response. I said it was 10-20 min, but maybe it was only 5-10 min response - or maybe my drunk assessment was more accurate.

I didn't talk to a single cop and had no interest to do so, especially when emotionally charged and very under the influence.

I spoke to Todd about noon to make sure he's still alive. While the head cut understandably hurts a bit, he doesn't have bad swelling or anything too painful there. However he said that he really fucked up his back. He already had a fucked up back and hadn't been playing golf for a few weeks. He also guesses that he fell due to one or two reasons. He's had a bum knee go out on him several times at work (which he finally retired from in March with the COVID thing, at aged 68 I think). He thinks that was the primary thing. And maybe it was slippery socks. He was more blitzed than I was so his recollection is foggy.

My morning was a little rough around the edges but water helped as usual.

Thanks for the interest. I didn't expect anyone would even see this post.
