Frequent Flyers

Posted 5 months ago It seems to me that the longer I do this job the more frequent flyers I notice.. Am I the only one?? It's not what you don't know. It's what you are unwilling to learn.... |
|
| Posted 5 months ago Nope,,, 3am "Lift Assist" is a good one for us. |
|
| Posted 5 months ago Comes with the territory I think. We have alot of older, retired folks that live in my small town that are widowed/single and I think alot of times they are just looking for some companionship at 3 AM. Ross Caston

| Posted 5 months ago We have our fair share of "Frequent Flyers". We have this one lady, I don't remember her name but everytime I hear her address called out over the radio, I cringe! My husband went to her house and stated he will NEVER go back. So when ever we hear her address called out, he hands me the radio and say's.... "have fun" |
|
| Posted 5 months ago It seem like we go to an address repeatedly for a few months then never go back. I can give you a dozen address like that. Yea they are a pain sometimes but in the cases where they are old, we usually become friends. In the drug, drunk cases it gets harder to maintain a caring attitude. I just keep reminding myself that "we are here to help those who can't help themselves". |
|
| Posted 5 months ago We have several in our area. Some that it seems to be weekly then you don't hear from them for months and then it starts up again. We should start cards for them to collect miles and when they have enough they get a FREQUENT FLYER certificate. |

| Posted 4 months ago Multiple trailer park drug seekers, early morning lift assists, and many, many "I just got out of the hospital yesterday" 's............ need I mention the repeated "attempts". |

Yeah, those and then there were the "I ran out of my meds and I need to go to the hospital to get them refilled, I mean, I have this pain right here, I need to go to the hospital". Frustrating. When life hands you lemons, cut them up.......and squeeze them in life's eye. DocBernard = Self-Appointed Firelink JunkYard Dog. I bite. |

It really gets me is that they ran out at noon and it now 2am and they decide they need to go to the hospital to get prescript filled. |
|
|
| Posted 4 months ago That's because now, it's an "emergency". When life hands you lemons, cut them up.......and squeeze them in life's eye. DocBernard = Self-Appointed Firelink JunkYard Dog. I bite. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago Nope, its not just you FIRETEC31. We also have several frequent flyers in our area and we will see them quite often for several weeks and then have to wait a month or two and they start all over again. |
|
| Posted 3 months ago After the 4th or 5th time they call for a BS reason, airvac em out.
After that bill, they'll leave you alone. Sometimes to maintain your authority in the face of criticism, you have to make stuff up. |

What a great idea!!! I'll metion that in the morning at the employee meeting. The largest room is the room for self improvement |
|
| Posted 3 months ago We have 4 frequent flyers just for my shift alone..... lift assists mostly but one lady who insists she is sick and the hospital keeps releasiing her b/c nothing is wrong with her... go figure. You guys are right though, they ususally call at about 2:30 or 3 am. ........ |
