This from across the pond:
My name is Paul Dodd, I am a paramedic working for the London Ambulance Service, England. Myself and my colleague Stuart Gray, also a London paramedic, have produced an e-book which is available on Kindle or Kindle APP.The book is titled ‘101 dumb emergency calls‘, which is all about the ridiculous calls received by the emergency services. The book is produced with humour in mind, but there is also a serious aspect and readers will see what some people call the emergency services for, therefore potentially putting other people’s lives at risk.I thank you in advance.Regards,Paul DoddStuart Gray
This is from Amazon:
101 Dumb Emergency Calls is a collation of the most stupid and irrelevant calls to the emergency services that have been highlighted in the media in recent times. Mostly from the USA and UK, they bring into sharp focus the extent of the abuse of our critical life-saving services.With cartoons to depict calls and hyperlinks to take the reader to the original audio (some of them released in the public domain by the police and ambulance services in order to show the world how badly a minority of individuals will misuse valuable resources), this book promises to amuse and shock every right-minded person who understands what these services are here for.The author and illustrator are professional front line paramedics, so they know a thing or two about the subject; and from calls to the police for directions to 999 rants about the lack of buses, they have experienced their fair share of such stupidity.
You won’t believe some of the calls that have been made in the name of personal crisis. You simply won’t believe what some people think is an emergency!
