I see, time servers. Chair warmers. Just the person I'd want on the end of the line when there's a possibility that a loved one is bleeding to rest. No wonder we hear horror stories about what these jerks say and do. I think I'd rather have girl scouts doing the job -- based on the ones I've known, people who are just waiting for retirement are absolutely worthless.
They leave the person who survived the crime or accident long enough to punch 911 all alone and bleeding with a chirpy "Help is on the way, have a nice day," do they? Is this by regulation or stupidity? When I had occasion to call 911 the dispatcher kept me on the line until I said I saw the cops outside. At other times (accidents with much metal damage and perhaps some fleshly damage -- yeah, we live near a corner with a lot of them) the dispatcher said I could hang up when I heard the siren. It seems truly unconscionable to leave an injured victim all alone, trusting that MAYBE the rescue vehicles can find their way to the scene of the crime-accident. -- Cheers, Bev lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovexx "It is a matter of regret that many low, mean suspicions turn out to be well-founded." -- Edgar Watson Howe
