Honestly, I don’t know what to say about today’s 12 hr shift. We have been extremely busy – really, really, really busy. I’m in the last four hours and am not sure where the time went. Yes, that is a good thing.
I have had so many rude people today – it irritates me. I mean, seriously rude people who call 911 over stupid things. One lady accused me of somehow altering the raccoons so they come out during the day – she said they never use to. If the people weren’t rude then they were drunk – some were both.
We’ve had some teens calling in fake shootings – I wish the police would catch the little buggers and charge them for misuse of the emergency system. It is a misdemeanor but at least the police would get the opportunity to speak to their parents. Stupid brats.
We had one place call in because a man fell in their parking lot. They then cancelled the ambulance because the guy said he was OK and was getting in his vehicle to leave. Twenty minutes later we got a call about a man unconscious in his car in the same parking lot. It was the same man and he was dead when we got there. Goes to show that you should get checked out if you hit your head.
In the nine hours I’ve been here, we have had twelve suicide threat calls – its an epidemic!
