That's just sad... and a potentially a dangerous mistake!

My partner a few days ago:
Us- Dispatch THE squad x is in service
Dispatch- That's clear THE squad x

From the same guy a few months ago:
Us- Dispatch squad x is en route to mercy starting mileage of woooooooo.........9.8
Dispatch- To mercy, 9.8 (Laughter in the background)

A new dispatcher stumbled badly trying to pronounce a street name and after asking for the spelling we hear: "Uh, first letter is G as in 'green', second is U as in, uh, 'Utah', third is I as in, um... 'Ice cream', fourth is... wait, one-two-three-four, yeah the fourth letter is D as in... mumbles 'Dammit' uh... Standby..."

After a minute he keys up again and we hear laughter in the background. "Medic 14, can you please call dispatch to get a better spelling??"

I had just gotten into the van for an IFT shift and didn't catch the whole conversation but as soon as my radio kicked on this is what I heard:

Dispatch: Unit 1, I didn't hear you, did you say you were transporting?
Unit 1: Negative, I said the patient does not exist.
Dispatch: (keys radio then awkward silence)... Copy... just hang out for a minute.

Just heard "call me maybe" playing over the hospital frequency.

Asclepius911 · 09-23-2012, 02:16 PM

What time for pick up time?

sirengirl · 09-23-2012, 02:53 PM

Was driving from a call to another, and my partner yesterday randomly reached, picked up the radio, engaged it, took a deep breath, and then-

"Meowwwww....."

And put it back without a word.
