Just been woken up by 2 para medics. Fell asleep on the living room floor. My kids came round to stay the weekend and found me laying there and foaled 999. How red faced was I when I was worked.
You've got to love them lol |

i cant believe that an 18 year old didnt try to wake you!
as someone else said lets hope nobody really was in an emergency situation and required that ambulance  |

"nice of them to dial 999, but common sense would have at least kicked in to try and wake you
heaven forbid someone actually needed that ambulance "
I wouldn't even say it was nice. At best it was niave. Ok it's not on a par with some of the really stupid 999 calls that get reported occassionally but it's still more than a little cringeworthy.
That said, they presumaby didn't waste paramedics time, just the control room operators who would have instructed them to check he was breathing, commence CPR etc... |

"oh i agree. they got a right talking to by the para medics and then me after to.
think i'll book them on a first aid basic course."
Compared to the hundreds of calls they get on 999 wishing them happy new year every year , this is 'understandable?' lol |

I'm confused. If you call 999 and report someone as unresponsive they don't just send paramedics out to the scene. They talk the caller through a number of stages. They tell you how to check a pulse, if need be they even talk the caller through CPR until paramedics arrive? |

"There 14 and 18. They were asked if they tried to wake me and said they didn't think of that lol"
haha, funny! Hey at least they knew how to get help, my teenagers would have gone str8 to their rooms to stick their ipods on and earphones in and wouldn't have even noticed me lol |
