A young and underpaid home health care worker aide called 911 to report finding their morning client, an old person, was dead
        on the living room floor. The care worker was pretty shaken; it was his first dead client he’d had. That was the same day that I
        learned that sometimes, freshly dead people smell just as bad as day-old dead people.



















        The time I went to the kidney dialysis center because one of the patients hooked up to the machines for dialysis had suddenly
        died. All of the other patients there also hooked up to the machines – they were all in one room pretty much in a circle in clinic
        recliners -  had no choice but to stay there and watch him die and get not successfully resuscitated by the paramedics and then
        get covered with a blanket.















        Below: here’s one my clients who thought he could outrun me down onto the beach. He was right. But I did catch him later
        when he thought the coast was clear to come out of the woods. That’s when the Long Arm of the Law got him. Boy it took me a
        long time to clean my car after this; that was all tidal mudflat grime.




















        Woman in an apartment calls 911 to complain about a low flying plane. The plane is a small 2-seater, and the pilot is just flying
        over the bay, doing some dives and turns and probably having a great time but this woman is absolutely convinced that he is
        diving directly toward her apartment building repeatedly and he is going to for sure crash into it and kill her. She wanted me to
        call the FAA and do something about it. The plane never got below about 800 feet so I wasn’t really seeing the problem.
