Re: Most Worthless Job?
by Emilio (esp emt)
Mine was a few years ago, we were sent to a "toothache". My mate and I thought "Well, we rely on our control doctors who have triaged this call as "emergency ambulance", surely it would be blood from his mouth all around the house... We knocked the door, a man around 30 opened it and (with perfectly speaking and no sign of pain or bleeding) directly said: - I am. - And... what seems to be the problem? - My tooth aches. - OK, come to the ambulance (as we didn't want to waste more time) - How am I going to come back? - Well, if you find us around, we'd be glad trying to kick your a$$ strong enough so you have another free ride (actually this was thought by us, not said) Of course, there was a bus line from his door to the hospital. I bet this guy threatened the doctor by the phone with something like I have friends at the courts and you are going to jail if don't send me the damn ambulance! That is a real problem around here, to protect the phone triage doctors against being sued.
