Things are not always as at first they first seem....


OVERHEARD IN THE AMBULANCE
Two Advanced Life Support road crews, one Community Emergency Response Team and one Intensive Care Ambulance were dispatched to a motorcycle versus vehicle accident involving one male patient with a compound (bones sticking out of skin) fracture to the lower leg. The third crew ("<CREW>")arrives on scene and provides the despatcher with a Sitrep ("situation report" aka update of the situation)...

CREW (ON RADIO)

"Despatch from <Crew>"


DESPATCH (ON RADIO)

"Go ahead <Crew>....."


CREW (ON RADIO)
"This is a patient with a broken TOE after falling from a 50cc in a backyard while wearing thongs. Cancel the Intensive Care Ambulance........."
