Favorite Dispatches

My first ever "lights and sirens" call as a student almost two years ago.

Dispatcher: "Medic #, 27D1, possible GSW (gunshot wound), Buffalo Wild Wings."
We're all like "Yeah! A good call! woohoo!"...but then...
"Medic # change that to a stabbing..."....alright, still maybe a good call!
"Medic # cancel the call, fork stabbing."....we all start laughing.



New favorite:

Dispatcher: "Medic ###, 26A1 sick person. Female pt states her breasts are floppier than usual.*pause* and softer..."

**Maybe half an hour goes by as the unit gets to the call and checks on scene...then...**

Medic Unit: "Dispatcher, this is Medic ###, we're back in service, patient refused transport, problem supported."

I could not stop laughing. Just so you know, the radio recordings of 911 dispatches are all public domain, you can ask to listen to them at any time. I would be so curious to document a list of the most bizarre calls! People really do call 911 for ANYthing.
