I have been dispatching for almost three years at a small town 911
center and the funniest mishap I can possibly remember would have to be at my
own expense I think. In August of 96 we began dispatching for our local EMS
service, which finally made us central, ems, police, fire/rescue, and a group
of first responders, medically trained civilians who respond in the area they
live in to all medical calls. I, luckily was one of the first to get to |
dispatch out our ambulance service. The call came in to us as an elderly lady
experiencing 'shortness of breath'. I took down all the information and
proceeded to call out the unit and little did I know we would remember that til
today . "McNairy EMS , you need to respond to 132 N Main(fictional address) to
an elderly w/f experiencing "shortness of breasts". Needlessly to say, I have
made a boo that will go in history in our county!!
