My job (at CHOP) isn't usually funny, but....

A family at the hospital that I know well...had a very unexpected medical emergency at home with their son. In an email to me recounting what happened, the Mom said that she and her husband were so panicked that they couldn't think of the number for 911.

She writes "When all the excitement was going on N and I could not think of the number for 911. When I went home to get changed and check on the house i looked at the redial numbers and I had dialed 901,991,119 and the best one 999 so please have it on speed dial at your home as I have recently programmed mine."

Good advice, of course. But that's not the funny part. Both parents are Philadelphia POLICE OFFICERS!


(I am not making this up)

The son is going to be ok.
