By Frank Warner, OF THE ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL
An Allentown woman called the city 911 center late Tuesday demanding that an ambulance take her to the hospital for a stubbed big toe. She got the ride.
The woman, 52, first phoned at 11:10 p.m. from the 600 block of W. Liberty Street, according to emergency radio reports. No ambulance was sent. But 10 minutes later the woman called, again seeking a ride to the hospital for her toe.
This time, a city EMS unit was dispatched and the woman was picked up at her home.
"We're bringing in a stubbed toe," a medic radioed the hospital at 11:30 p.m.
"You said stubbed toe?" a hospital worker asked.
The response was not audible.
