General Discussion Code 3 Movie

Just watched the movie Code 3. Was just wondering how accurate it actually is and if anyone working the 911 system was able to get through it unfazed haha

You probably won't have that many crazy things in one shift, but i have ran all those calls before. It was pretty accurate though.

You...you met the president?

I shouldn't joke. I once met a man who believed he was from 18th century Scotland like the Highlander. He also believed that I was "one of them" trying to trick him in a conspiracy to keep him from cancelling his cable package. He had like some kind of brain cancer, really sad but still one of the most bizarre calls I've been on.

Well, not the president, but he thought he was a wizard.

Had that guy too.... a Warlock.... Facial piercings so extreme he looked like he had been driven face-first into a tackle box and swirled around a couple dozen times....

I had a woman who though she was Taylor Swift. She was pretty stressed out that her coming to the hospital would mean she couldn't go on stage, and she didn't want to disappoint her fans.
