So, I am working out here at the Fire Station, which I always find fascinating. Because I am in the basement, I can hear all the radio calls going out. You would not believe how many calls they get for old people who have fallen down. No wonder LifeAlert does such a good business!
Two calls that stand out to me today are (1) a bike versus a car in Moraga, and (2) a 5 year-old with a bloody nose at school in San Pablo. I understand the need for an ambulance at the first, but for a bloody nose? Maybe a lifetime of chronic bloody noses has desensitized me, but I would just tell the kid to lean his head forward, plug it with a tissue, and maybe put some ice on it. It's not like it's a femoral artery or anything...
