Certainly doesn’t sound good but we shouldn’t form an opinion until we’ve heard the entire call.

Was she saying this was cold, just occurred, or in-progress.

Based on the audio we have it seems a response is warranted but termination isn’t. Call-taker sounded professional and patient explaining the situation so clearly, something had to be said that we didn’t hear to elicit that response.
