Literally Life-Threatening Levels Of Stupidity
Emergency Services, Hospital, Stupid, USA | Healthy | November 15, 2021
I work at a hospital switchboard. An emergency services dispatcher has put a caller through who is looking for a patient and insists that they are with us. We have just established that they are not at our hospital.
Me: “I’m sorry, he’s not at this hospital. You need to call back the dispatcher to find out.”
Client: “What’s their number?”
Me: “9-1—”
Client: “Wait! Wait! Let me get a pen. Okay, go.”
Me: “9-1-1.”
Client: “9… 1… 1… Okay. So, do I put my area code in front of that?”
