Weird *** Phone Calls

[SA_Medic]

Today I was standing around at the office and answered two calls in the Alarm Centre (Dispatch). It was enough to make me decide to never answer that phone again.

Call number one:
Me: "(insert company name) How may I be of assistance?"
Caller: *crying* "May I speak to the paramedic on duty please?"
Me: "Sure ma'am, I am the paramedic on duty, how may I help?"
Caller: "Could you please explain to me how to commit suicide?"
Me: "Excuse me?"
Caller: *still sobbing* "I want to commit suicide and would like to know how to do it properly"
Me: "Why would you decide to take such a drastic step"
Caller: "You are of no help at all" and she hangs up, I can't call back no telephone number on display.

Call number two:
Me: "(insert company name) How may I be of assistance?"
Caller:"Hi, I need an ambulance"
Me: "Sure ma'am, what seems to be the problem?"
Caller: "It's a slightly delicate situation, but please ensure they have a body bag with them"
Me: "Ma'am, if the person is dead I will have to send the police out as well. Please explain the situation to me"
Caller: "It's my husband, and he's not exactly dead yet"
Me: "Yes, go on"
Caller: "He has been receiving radiation therapy and has since been going invisible. Monday he received a really high dose and is now completely invisible. I have him locked in the bathroom at the moment"
Me: *trying really hard not to laugh* "What is he getting the therapy for?"
Caller: "Oh, and have the ambulance bring a black light with, it's the only way you can see him"
Me: "Why is he receiving the radiation therapy ma'am?"
Caller: "Oh f%^k, he's out of the bathroom. I will phone back as soon as I have him locked in again" and she to hangs up.

The weird people are out today!

Sounds like someone was having some fun at your expense.

The second call I actually had a number on the display. It was completely on the otherside of the country. Sucks having a national call centre....

The lack of education on this forum astounds me. Seriously, don't you know that radiation gives you superpowers?

not necessarily, only certain strains of gamma radiation will reliably give you superpowers, assuming(males only) certain parts of the anatomy don't fall off first. And depending on the strength, can also depend on time of day, full moon or not, etc.




Now that i think about it, the two calls could be coming from the same building. The husband was exposed to the radiation, had the above mentioned "adverse effect" and ironically gained the power of invisibility (would make reattachment surgery difficult". the wife then locks husband in the bathroom, calls 911, ........
