Paramedics

On the way to a festival today, my companion and I spotted a man
laying on the sidewalk, looking VERY bad. Not exactly homeless
looking, and not drunk looking, but we didn't know what. So we called
for paramedics (and got put on hold on 911) who came a few minutes
later. They recognized the guy -- this was the fifth time this week
they were picking him up. Yep, he was drunk. And now (perhaps) on his
way to detox.

Of course, I had to record the moment for prosperity. I didn't think
it fair to put the guy's picture all over the internet, so here's the
shot as they try to hoist him (he was quite overweight) onto the guerney.

But Gary, there are three of them, not two.

You are a good soul GW. And yes the paramedic crew from San Diego Fire does a great job.

On hold for 911 you say! Wow.
