When the show ended that day, all the guests who were so carefully separated beforehand were hurriedly filed out the same set of doors, TV chattel. Charlie conversed with a man whose wife had died and who was lobbying for increased training for 911 dispatchers. I touched Olidia’s sister’s elbow, and she turned to me.

I told her I was sorry for what had happened and that I hoped the publicity would inspire some changes for the better. She thanked me. This was the conversation Dr. Phil’s staff didn’t let us have before the show, or during.

This was the reason Charlie and I had to share a dressing room.

For weeks afterward, my head swims with words I wish I could have said on that stupid show. Like, hey Phil: How about we play just one of the millions of 911 calls that go so brilliantly right every single day?

Why don’t we play the one where my partner helped deliver a breech baby two full minutes before the paramedics arrived? Why don’t we play the one where my trainer talked an armed suicidal man into putting his gun down and walking peacefully out to the ambulance? Why don’t we, Phil?
