“Paramedics were called on a "sick case.'' They arrived at a low-income tenement and walked into a room thick with cigarette smoke and full of drunk people. The paramedics recognized one of the bystanders as a prostitute they had encountered on previous occasions. She directed the paramedics to the bathroom, where they found a 35-year-old male draped over the toilet.”

“Paramedics were called to the home of an 80-year-old female who reportedly had fallen down a flight of stairs. On arrival, they found her barely conscious, with a large hematoma on her left parietal scalp and with an apparently fractured left hip. She was at the bottom of 15 heavily carpeted stairs.”
