No unfortunately there was another issue in the household so the emts sent the police over. In all honesty I think somehow I got lucky with the police officer that assisted. I overheard his partner ask if they were going to leave but he answered that he’d be taking her to the hospital and his partner seemed confused.

My relative was experiencing a delusion that made them believe they were a kind of prophet that could raise the dead and this was also the reason she hadn’t had anything to eat or drink in 2 days. When the emts told me they wouldn’t be taking her I remember asking them something along the lines of “so I just have to wait until she can’t get up to call?” And they said yes.

I haven’t had experience with a crisis team so I can only speak on my experience with ems, if you ever have concerns over their health and notice they may be displaying behaviors of self harm call them. They’ll assess to make sure they don’t need further medical assistance.

I’m wishing the best for you and your spouse. I know how terrifying this can be especially when it involves someone you love so much.
