Strange calls come for ambulance
The company told that once they got a call from a person who told that he had eaten too many kebabs. The man told that he had a stomach ache, then when the operator asked what happened to him, he said that he had eaten more kebabs than required last night. Due to this his stomach is hurting a lot since morning. When one called, he said that his wife accidentally wiped her eyes with her hands stained with chilli and her eyes started burning. He tried a lot to remove the chillies by washing but to no avail. One even said that he had a cold for two days due to which his chest was tight and he probably needed an ambulance.
‘Call only in case of major problems!’
Andy Swinburn, executive director of this paramedicine company, has appealed to people to call for an ambulance only when their problem is actually life-threatening or they have a major emergency. Calls for trivial matters make it difficult to deliver services to those who actually need them. He said that if someone is having chest pain, having a heart attack, having a fit, or is having a reaction to a very serious allergy, then they should call an ambulance. Otherwise, for minor gas, cuts or cold, people should go to the nearby doctor, or keep first aid at home so that they can get rid of these problems.
