Job a couple of weeks ago. 90 years old gent rang 999 for an ambulance to assist him as he had fallen from bed and was on the floor. Not ill or injured - purely wanted assistance, and bearing in mind he had rung us himself. Not surprisingly, the call was categorized as a Green (ie low priority). Notwithstanding the colour of the call we sent on it straight away. The call was only a few minutes from the amb stn that the amb went from. When the crew got there they got no reponse at the door, and it was locked from the inside so we called the police. They arrived pretty sharpish and effected entry. The crew went upstairs to the bedroom, and found the elderly gentleman on the floor. Dead. No idea what happened, but it tends to make you thinkd about the AMPDS system we use. When the tape of the call was listened to, the gentleman was in no distress, and sounded perfectly happy that he would get some help asap.
