It began with a story about the handling of a 911 call in Wichita, Kansas.
In June 2019, the medical director of emergency medical services in Sedgwick County had gone to the apartment of a man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and decided that he should be left to die, even though the man had a pulse and labored breathing. At The Wichita Eagle, Chance Swaim and Michael Stavola reported the story in March 2021, shortly after the state investigation records were released, two years after the incident.
