They must have run my plates or something and decided to leave me alone, there just can be no other explanation. However, I'm always en route to the hospital, not all over the city like you are, so it would be easier to figure out...

I'm a paramedic and I can tell you that in NONE of the counties near me are ME officials allowed to respond emergently to a retrieval. In fact, in my county, the local ambulance squad is called to retrieve the body and transport it back to the morgue and the call MUST be handled NON-EMERGENTLY. <blockquote>Different strokes for different parts of the country. It's just the opposite here. We can respond emergently, but we can't use paramedics. I wish we could. They are experts at body handling and nine times out of ten they are already at the scene.

Mistakes are made by everyone, and the faster you are going, the worse the injuries are. Would you want to be responsible for someone living with daily pain?
