My fall was witnessed by a security officer named [REDACTED]. He was very helpful and kind and said he had to call a code yellow and inform his supervisor. A security supervisor. Security guard [REDACTED] an ER nurse named [REDACTED] and another person arrived offering to take me to the emergency room. I declined and went inside trailer to get covid swab exam.
