IPv6Freely 2097 Report post Posted February 13, 2012 My wife is a dispatch supervisor, so I imagine her stories are far better than any fire/police/emt would have, with all the stupid 911 callers. I'll have to ask her for a couple :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noodle3872 40 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 I work in Federal Corrections in Canada. Been doing the Corrections Officer job for over 17 years. I could fill a book with the situations I've experienced while on the job. Some funny, some quirky, some where there was a brush with danger and some down right gory.

bigdmac 12 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 I've been working as an ER doctor for almost 10 years now, just outside of Toronto. In 10 years I've seen some pretty crazy things, some funny, some not-so-funny, and some pretty disgusting things, but I love it because each day is something new.

AIREAYE 248 Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Hey guys, I heard on the TV show 'Flashpoint' on CTV that Valentine's Day is traditionally a 'busy' day in terms of emergencies and crime due to it being a more emotionally volatile time of year. Any truth to this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
