Actually, you might be surprised to know that this kind of thing happens every day. A woman was trying to break up with her boyfriend, and get him out of the way so she could get with her NEW boyfriend. So she called 911, and told the CRO that he (the old BF) was "acting irrationally, talking about shooting up a bodega, and killing himself". We got the call as an EDP, and once there, we HAD to take him to the hospital, per the protocol we must follow. (If we let him go, after being told he was unstable, and he then goes out and kills somebody, we'd lose our jobs AND our certification as EMTs, not to mention the gross-negligence lawsuits that would come our way.) So he gets upset, tries to tell us his girlfriend just wants him out--but getting agitated isn't gonna help him. We took him to the hospital with the cops, and as I turned the corner off the block, I noticed a guy sitting in an idling U-Haul on the adjacent street.A couple of weeks later, we were parked sitting 89, and the guy we'd transported to the psych ER knocks on my window. He had no hard feelings towards us, and he told me the rest of the story: As soon as her NEW boyfriend saw our ambulance depart, the new guy and his (now ex) girlfriend got right to work. When he got out of the hospital three days later and returned home, he found that the new BF and his ex-GF had loaded up that U-Haul with every item they could carry. He had to hand it to them--it was well-planned, and well-played. They got him but good. If someone calls you into 911 as an EDP, you are done. Believe that. |
