Notes / caveats

• Transcript contains numerous transcription artifacts and timestamp misreads; times above reflect best interpretation of dispatch timestamps in the log. Where call details were unclear or contradictory in transcription, the summary focuses on the most consistently reported facts (e.g., location, response type, patient status). Routine administrative traffic (radio checks, unit sign‑offs, routine transports to St. Mary’s) has been omitted per report instructions.
