911 operator relied on what witness said was seizures of UVic students, coroner's inquest hears
58% Informative
911 call-taker Kylie Alfano testified she suspected the two collapsed patients could be overdosing.
Sidney McIntyre-Starko , 18 , died after not receiving the overdose-reversing drug naloxone for 13 minutes or CPR for 15 minutes .
Alfano, who had no medical training, was trained to rely on the information provided to her by the caller who is her “eyes and ears” at the scene.
Sidney ’s death has led to better access to naloxone and other harm reduction measures on campuses, and promises to improve first aid policies.
The inquest is scheduled for three weeks , with 33 witnesses scheduled to testify.
12 lawyers are representing various agencies at the inquest, including UVic and the ambulance service.
