Another thread asks ‘What has been your funniest call.’ What about your most challenging/dangerous call?
Shortly after we were cut back from two men per shift to one I got a call to go to a room for a problem. I arrived & found a woman alone in the room with her young son. She had gotten him drunk so that he had almost passed out. She then tried to strangle him. She changed her mind & called for help. I called for an ambulance & began providing first aid. The woman went into the bathroom & cut her wrists. It was the longest wait I’ve ever had for “backup”.
