| 110. The doctor was at work. |

Have you ever had a job where you would have been unable to call 911 because you couldn't identify the business you were at or where it was?
Years ago when I lived in Chicago there was a fire in an office building late at night. There was one woman working in an office and the power went out before she knew the building was on fire. She dialed 911 and told them the name of the company. Unfortunately it had a "vanity" address so the firemen didn't find it as quickly as they should have.
She had half an hour of panic, and time to call her father to say goodbye. She could not find her way out of the building and died of smoke inhalation. I'd say knowing where you are at is pretty important.
