My true 911 story.
Man was crushed by a falling tree which caught the man up in the limbs and branches of the tree, carrying him 25 feet down the street, hung him up, injured, caught in the tree, semi-conscious, and a neighbor calls 911 about the incident telling them to send the rescue/ambulance squad.
The 911 dispatcher asked the caller “how old is the man”.
True story, from personal experience. I was the man “mugged” by the falling tree, and the neighbor who called 911 told me about her call and the stupid question the dispatcher asked her.
“The 911 dispatcher asked the caller “how old is the man”.”
Sometimes, and that is one of those occasions, the age of the victim is not as important as getting rescue on the way. Age can be determined once rescue has the person down and in the ambulance and the EMT is getting vitals.
