Imagine the confusion when EMS is requested for a male shot in the back. A dark night working by flashlight and the patient screaming "they shot me in the back". We searched and searched looking for wounds but could find nothing. Confused and a little irritated it all cleared up when the patient pointed to the rear of the house again saying "they shot me in the back".

EMS clear. It's a police matter...

Did you ask him "Shot you in the back of where?"

Similarly, when I worked as a call taker for the (pre-merger) NYC EMS, the person calling for an ambulance said that he got shot, and I entered it as a call type "SHOT", then asked where he got shot, meaning where on his person. He answered "in Viet Nam!" before telling me he was calling for active angina chest pain. Careful when asking for possible past medical history, folks.
