Funniest 2010 Christmas Day Calls
Sure can tell its the holidays. The elderly people that live alone and are lonely will call 911 for anything. Had a call 40 minutes into my shift for an unknown medical with Lifeline activation. Arrived to find a frequent flier needing assistance with her Hoveround scooter.

Had a similar call a few years backon thanksgiving. Was another unknown medical with Lifeline activation. She was unable to pick up the roaster with the turkey in it. She needed us to put it in the oven for her. No we did not have to take it out, her family arrived and assisted with that.

So far, just 2 seizures and a chest pain. But the day's not over, and rain, followed by rain/snow mix, is coming this evening. I hope it's a better day than yesterday.

Yesterday was my busy day. 5-7inches snow. 1 drug overdose, 1 diabetic, 1 sick and care, and a MVA with 2 patients. Then home to shovel snow. Ugh!

Nothing on Christmas Day in years and don't recall anything remarkable. We had a tragedy two days before. The effect lasted through Christmas...I'll remember that one for a while.

Sorry Norm ... we did that with a tornado a few years back. Not something we forget; and we just pray it never happens again.

Norm,
We had a similar situation back in 99. In the county its still known as the "Day from Hell" 11 yrs later.

It was a head-on MVC with one fatality. Sadly, the deceased was a 16-year-old kid driving his brand new car. I feel sad for the family. No PTSD or anything like that, just sympathetic. My family and I had the best Christmas ever! Hope you guys did as well.
