I couldn't help wanting to post this news article...although it was not a very nice situation for the patient, it is not something in the normal EMT's daily run or Dispatcher's calls.

I know what you mean, Mmiz...it is very much a case of 'black humour'!
I can understand the dispatchers calling in the police first. It is good to see them forward thinking, even though the police were not needed.

P.S............. I've find another link with more detail of the story.

I was serious until I hit the line ''Basically, she could only grunt.''
And then things got out of hand with the laughing. But on a serious note that's horrible.
