“I told him that we wouldn’t be sending an ambulance for something like that. And he said, ‘So you’re not going to send me any help until I get bit, is that right?’ I went, ‘That’s correct.’”The Welsh Ambulance Service isn’t alone in publicizing the wacky calls they got last year. The South Western Ambulance Service in England this week said more than a quarter of the 1 million-plus calls it fielded last year did not merit sending help.

The non-emergency calls included a person looking for assistance in finding their walking stick, a patient who had fallen off a chair — who was already in the hospital — and a woman who complained of having a “horrendous nightmare.”Emergency calls “are for situations where minutes matter and lives are at risk,” said William Lee, assistant operations director at South Western Ambulance. “Inappropriate calls tie up our emergency lines and divert valuable resources away from those in genuine need.”Worrall was gobsmacked the gator caller thought paramedics were the panacea for his problem.

“We could be on the phone to somebody with the alligator and the next call I take could be a cardiac arrest and they’ve had to wait in line for the call to be answered,” she said. “And we could have lost significant time getting hands on chest to do CPR.”When she got off the phone, she took a short break to share the story with her amused colleagues.

“We did have a little chat about that and, yeah, back to work I went,” she said. “On to the next call.”

It appears the tall tale that all cats have nine lives may be true for a California Maine coon named Aggie.It was unclear whether Kennedy knew that Edwards had gone into his clinic while infected with measles before meeting him. A spokesperson for Kennedy said he is not anti-vaccine and that he is “committed to improving children’s health in America and has re-deployed resources to Texas to help with the current outbreak.” He did not answer why the health secretary chose to meet with and praise Edwards rather than any of the other doctors in West Texas who have been treating children in the outbreak.

Edwards told The Associated Press in an email that he “interacted with zero patients that were not already infected with measles” during the time he was infectious. “Therefore, obviously, there were no patients that were put in danger of acquiring measles since they already had measles.”But Jessica Steier, a public health scientist, said the video shows Edwards in the room with people who do not appear sick, including parents of sick children and the people who visited the clinic from Children’s Health Defense. She also questioned what steps Edwards was taking to confirm people were sick with measles, rather than relying on guesswork.

Steier, who runs the Science Literacy Lab and co-wrote, said while there may be some extraordinary emergencies where it would be appropriate for a sick doctor to work, this is not one of those situations because there is no shortage of providers who are not infected. She also pointed out that the video shows Edwards was not wearing a mask.
