When the dispatcher learns there is a doctor present, he/she acts immediately as if outranked.
If the EMTs wanted to declare him dead, but a medical doctor present does not, perhaps the EMTs are outranked?
Certainly they might get scared that if the doctor refused to declare him dead—and they didn’t deliver him to a hospital...think of the conspiracy theories!
The “ranking” in Kaleefornia would be the EMT, then the Paramedic, then the Doctor.
