Unless she was the one leaking...
This is an abusive use of an emergency system. Stuff like this should punishable as a crime.
It is but most EMS workers won't report it sadly so it continues to happen
Where do us ems workers report it? Everyone knows the system is abused. Report it to who? For what reason? Its not going to change anything.
Assisted homes usually feature people who care for themselves with some help keeping meds straight and meals provided without needing to cook/grocery shop. People with significant dementia or other illness are usually in nursing homes with provide round the clock medical care/assistance.
I think a maintenance would have been a better call...I take it this was a emergency cord pull...
Fine her so she learns her listen.
Apparently you need to learn your english ;)
I really wish people who waste the ambulance service's time could be fined the way those who waste police time are. Every time someone makes a stupid or hoax call, someone else could be dying. I'd love to know how that call got through to getting an ambulance though.
Depending on the nature of the call and where it's at, they can. Do it too many times and they get thrown in jail. More than that and they're no longer allowed to call. Look up Lori Ann Warner.
They can call and say that there's something wrong medically and then when EMS gets there, SURPRISE! That happened to my boyfriend a few times when he worked EMS. The best one was the guy that called in with some sort of knee problem and when they got there the guy wanted them to make him a sandwich and had no medical problem at all. I wish I was joking. ><
And the dispatcher didn't think to ask what the woman's problem was?
Tell her to dial maintenance,

What the hell was she thinking when she called you? Can someone be that dumb?
I can't wait till I'm old and I can perform hijinks and pass them off as insanity!
