Quote:Did you see what the guy said, though? I understand being annoyed after she smart-mouthed off to him, but that's no excuse for hanging up on someone who claims to (and in this case, actually was) be fighting a life-or-death battle. I know dispatchers get a lot of junk and prank calls, but there was no excusing or justifying this guy's behavior. Stay on the line until the police and paramedics get there, then let those parties sort it out.

It's not just being "annoyed" that makes the job hard. When you deal with tragedy on a daily basis, it can get to you. I'm not justifying the guy's actions, I'm merely pointing out that I identify with what he was probably dealing with. When you deal with high stress situations on a daily basis, it can really get to you. Every human has a "breaking point".

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
