Lol. Love it. Here is mine from the other day:

Paged to a possible stroke at 1234 County Road 123, letter designator G. On scene could not find G as nothing but A and C were marked.

Me: Control, 805.
Dispatch: Go 805.
Me: You got a residance discription for us, we are not locating that letter designator here.
Dispatch: Ummmmmm........RP states it's a mobile home with junk cars out front.
Me: Erm...yea. That discribes about 90% of the places in this county.

I don't have a specific occurrence but I know a few times a couple of our dispatches have said patient names over the radios, I cringe every time it happens.

Hahaha. Dispatch was sending us an hour out of our way to another call after running all night, I keyed up to acknowledge the call right as my partner, unaware that I had keyed up shouts "YOURE KILLING ME DISPATCH!!!!!!" two seconds later "116 landline please."

EMS humor

Our dispatch was located far, far away from our response area, when they would call us for a call, we would piss them off by saying "GOAT-HEAD". I don't know how many times I got called in the office on that one. We kept doing it anyway. Made us laugh!! LOL

I can tell you something that was heard on the radio on my last day working for a commercial ambulance company... The supervisor's name was William Rogers. On my last day, at the end of my last shift, after getting the "return to base" page, I acknowledged the page over the radio by singing the following, to the tune of the Mr. Rogers TV show theme song:

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood / A beautiful day in Mr. William Rogers' neighborhood / It's my last day, here at TransCare... GOODBYE!!!"

At my old private service we had to verbally mark 'transporting' on the radio: one day without thinking I marked 'moving': it got stretched out the next time to 'moooooving' the rest of the day all the trucks were mooing on the radio.

good thing all the supervisors were out of town that day, but it was fun

I have done something similar to that when I was in a truck that wasn't my usual. Forgot what unit we were and didn't respond to that trucks number ;)

wasn't even my call, just picked it up from an overheard Surrey call.


"Surrey fd, please respond to an MVC at `234 wherever st. - please be advised, there is a language barrier, the vehicle is in the ditch...."

Won't even get into how many times we have had to call that our Equipment hauler need a jumpstart to get to scene, before we got our pretty new rescue truck... sigh...

I have heard a couple of funny things on the radio.

unit: Control from unit 4 is the fire department on scene yet?
Control: I don't know, do you see a big truck in front of the house?

Another time, this unit had 3 full arrests in 2 days and none of them came back. The next day they went to work and decided to be funny.

unit: Control, unit 5 is on the air saving lives.
Control: Unit 5, no you aren't.
