While sitting in the station on one of my ride-along days, we were dispatched for a 17 y/o male with difficulty breathing. We responded to the scene just as police arrived to secure the scene. Once it was determined that the scene was safe, we entered. Once it was determined that there was no actual emergency, we got to find out how we got there in the first place.
The supposed "patient" was on his XBox with his brother and a friend, who was connected via XBox Live. The "patient" and his brother started to play-fight, at which point our "patient" yelled at his brother to quit it because he was having a hard time breathing--only until they quit rough-housing and calmed down.
Unbeknownst to them, the mic was still hot: their buddy over XBox Live got to hear the entire debacle and called 911 from wherever he was, reported that his buddy was having difficulty breathing, and was able to give dispatch his friend's address. The end result was us listening to the police officer's rant about video games until we packed up and left.
