Hey guys
I sent this email to mjfanforeverandaday last night in response to her part 6 video 911 call (prt 2):
Can't believe I am just researching this! I was so upset at what SEEMED to be a departure from proper 911 procedure! Turns out it's standard procedure! Please don't be turned off by the length, most of it is quotes! :lol:

Good Day,
(lol, it's night here) I first off want to say that I enjoy your videos. I was watching them over again this evening, when I decided to check something- I don't recall if you addressed it again in any of your videos, but since I believe that you are after the truth I just wanted to point out to you that some of the things that you found "off" in the 911 call are actually standard procedure. Here is a website that you can check: http://www.nccfire.com/911_procedures.htm I have also checked other websites and they basically say the same thing, I chose this one because it was the only one I could find about those procedures in the state of California. Even though I am aware that this is the Nevada County Fire District , as I said other websites confirm these procedures.
It shows that dispatchers are expected to ask the caller for a contact number ( I found this strange also! ;) however, I read on another site that it is because some people call from cellphone- maybe not all cellphone have GPS?). The second point is that the caller is expected to remain on the line until the dispatcher tells you to hang up: "Once the call is transferred to CDF, the dispatcher will gather information, including the nature and location of the emergency, your name and callback number, and any other helpful information. Typically, after the information is gathered, the dispatcher will have the caller hang up the phone. If you are in need of additional medical assistance (i.e.: performing CPR, control bleeding, etc.), CDF dispatchers are trained in Emergency Medical Dispatching, and they will remain on the line to assist you further". ......Remember that a "doctor" was present and therefore had a higher authority in MJ's case
In addition the site also says that "two or more dispatchers will monitor your call. While one dispatcher is talking to the caller, the other dispatcher is dispatching the information into the computer system, which will advise which resources to send to the emergency. This speeds up the dispatch process, which allows you to receive emergency assistance in minutes.". This may explain ONE of the other voices on the tape...excepting of course what SOUNDS like...can't be sure "he's dead". To be honest I didn't hear that until you put it in my head!!! :)'
I am not sure if the noise that sounds like a voice on the two separate occasions- after "CPR, ok" and "he's dead(?)", (except Dr. Murray sounding panicky) is the same voice or they belong to two different persons. I am trying to get a friend who works in a studio to help me to figure this out!
I hope this helps!
P.S.- This is her video in case anyone was interested in watching it again:
