The 911 call has just been released in relation to Charlie Sheen's hospitalization last week, but it ultimately does not spell out too much outside of the fact that Sheen did in fact appear to be intoxicated at the time he was taken to the hospital.
The call came courtesy of Dr. Paul Nassif, a close friend of the "Two and a Half Men" star who lives in the same neighborhood. He called for assistance even after being not to out of concern, and said the following to the dispatcher on the other line:
"He was very, very intoxicated, also apparently in a lot of pain."
Since this incident, Sheen has attempted to recover by participating in an in-house treatment program. Nassif has also defended his actions to CNN:
"I was just waking up, I was still very, very groggy and the phone rang and it was Charlie Sheen's residence. I spoke to Charlie for a few minutes and he said he was in a lot of pain, and remember I'm Charlie's friend. I'm not his doctor.”
Are you hopeful that Sheen will recover from all this?
