Strange phone call

Working in an inner city er you get some interesting and stupid phone calls at all hours.

Yesterday was a good one. Due to the snow storm EMS had a hard if not impossible time getting aroun dor getting people to the ER's. We had heard of 3 peopel who arrested and died either at home or in route due to the uber slow response times.

So someone calls and tells us a family member had died and could we come and pick up the body. I guess calling the city ME or a funeral home didnt cross their minds. Given the road conditions in brooklyn I got a feeling the body may be there a while unless they live on or near a main road.
