to a recording of the 911 call.
The employee who called 911 told a dispatcher “She is syncopal and having
shortness of breath. Her hemoglobin is four.” A syncopal patient is falling in
and out of consciousness. The dangerously low hemoglobin level signifies that
red blood cells are not sufficiently transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide
between the tissues and lungs. The employee also told the dispatcher that the
patient could only walk with assistance.
