What "Longmire" Taught Me About Marketing

In the states a popular TV show is "Longmire" about an old fashioned Western Sheriff in the modern day.

In one episode he finds a deputy who's bleeding to death from a gunshot wound so he stitches him up with fishing line and takes him to the nearest medical clinic - an ill equipped one on a reservation.

Longmire says "I am 911".
