O: Now calm down. Tell me your name and phone number --- slowly.
G: Ummm … Sarah Grant. Oh, you’ve got to send an ambulance now.
O: Yes, I will. Now take a deep breath and tell me your phone number.
G: Yes, yes … 6161 9486.
O: Good. Now tell me what’s happened.
G: Well, my daughter was standing on a table in the
kitchen and was reaching up to the top cupboard and she fell. Now she’s on the floor. Her leg looks strange --- maybe it’s broken. And she hit her head --- she’s unconscious. I’ve shouted at her but she won’t wake up. Oh, please hurry.
O: Yes, we will …
