What is wrong with us?

#TrueStory

911 Operator: 911, how may I direct your call?

Me: Yes, I was just walking up Adams St. and at the corner of Adams and Irving at the hospital parking garage, Adams Street side is a man lying next to the building. He looks to perhaps be homeless, isn't wearing shoes, and there appears to be a large quantity of blood near his mouth...

911 Operator: What color is he?

Me: Black, maybe.

911 Operator: What was he wearing?

Me: I am not sure.

911 Operator: *Inaudible

Me: I didn't understand you.

911 Operator: Was he breathing?

Me: He appeared to move slightly

911 Operator: Okay we'll have someone check on it.

Me: Thank you.

*There was a garage employee walking in front of me who ignored the man, and sat at the garage exit forty feet from the man.
*There are three hospitals and the university in this immediate area; all of whom have mobile security. In addition, it was lunch time and I imagine many others must have walked or driven by.
