LifeLine Ep 70 - The "Blunt" Truth
Every day, 9-1-1 telecommunicators answer calls from individuals under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. These calls are often unpredictable, emotional, and at times dangerous - not only for the caller but for the responders en route. Callers may be extremely agitated, uncooperative, or even hallucinating and it is the 9-1-1 operator's job to figure out what is going on. But how can they make sense of an addict's topsy-turvy world? Join us this week as we discuss.
As always, if you have any questions or comments on the show, or you would like to connect with us, please send us an email to LifeLine911Podcast@gmail.com.
