...ten little fingers and ten little toes
An elderly lady dialed 911 after falling in
her house. She didn’t wake her family. As
the ambulance men were carrying her out
of the front door on a stretcher, her son,
roused from his sleep by the noise, came
out to the landing, panicked at the sight,
slipped and fell downstairs, knocking himself out.
His wife, rushing out of the bedroom to
see what was wrong, observed her husband
lying on the floor and promptly fainted.
Paramedics now had three casualties to take
to emergency instead of one.
The tally rapidly became four when the
family dog rampaged furiously into the hall
and inflicted a bite on the bottom of one of
the ambulance men. Said a spokesman for
the ambulance service, “It was quite a night,
actually.”
