A Young lady visiting Nyc from Florida complained after receiving a $68,000 dollar bill for a multi-agency rescue. The female (we will call carol to protect her identity as per her request) a diabetic was in times square taking pictures with Elmo and other playful characters. These characters often spend their days in Times square posing for pictures in hopes of making a tip.

Times Square Elmo

Times Square Elmo

That’s when carol posed for the picture with Elmo, a beloved character from sesame Street. This Elmo must have been from the bad part of Sesame Street cause Almost instantly she noticed he smelled of cheap booze and Cigarettes. It got worse as she got close bugs began to jump off his red fur on too her. It was Fleas. Elmo HAs fleas! Trying to Flee she slipped and fell under a car.

Numerous 911 calls Prompted a full multi-agency Response. Police, Fire And EMS as well as a Sesame street representative. The call was labeled a pin run, because the 911 callers told dispatches she was trapped under the car. So the call was met with a full response.

The 29 year old was fully unresponsive as per EMS reports and the only thing found was A Medical Alert bracelet informing her rescuers of 2 things the Hospital her doctor is affiliated with and that fact that she is diabetic.

While medics worker on her, 2 Police officers Had what they thought was a great idea. They called For the NYPD’s aviation Unit and a Police helicopter was ordered and on its way.

Shutting down Time square was no easy task to allow a Chopper to land, so on a Friday during rush hour over 100 Cops stormed Times square surrounding it in a perfect circle to put it on lock Down. Even the Nyc Mayor was snarled in traffic for 6 hours on 41 and 7th. He demanded that his convoy take a different route but then remembered he had them made into pedestrian walk ways and he too was stuck with no where too go.

The chopper landed without incident and one medic quickly boarded, with the still unresponsive victim. What happened next can only be described as a huge miscommunication between the NYPD and FDNY-EMS.

The Medic would only talk to us On one condition of being anonymous. “I Began to realize we were airborne for a little too long and I asked the pilot where we were and where we were going”?

What he was told next shocked even the veteran. Because of the Medic alert bracelet, NYPD air command made arraignments to piggy back her to her home state of Florida.

It started with them landing Virginia and handing her off to another Sheriff Helicopter, The same medic had to also accompany her on that flight as well, since there was no medic to go with them.

Next they landed in Georgia and handed her off to a Awaiting Med flight Cessna, A single engine aircraft. Again the same FDNY-medic was faced with the same problem. The flight nurse and Medic both called in sick. It was up to him and the New Pilot to get her to the hospital.

17 hours after her ordeal began carol, the victim, finally arrived at her hometown hospital in Florida. The medic’s Partner left back in Time square now had a bigger problem, according to the FNDY rules he had to go pick his partner up in Florida. They returned to duty a full week later.

Turns out our Victim made a full recovery, it was just a case of low blood sugar.

The victim on yesterday, received a bill for $68,000. The bill was itemized expenses for her Long Distance Transport. She also Noticed a error. A charge for $425 for “MWDP.

When she investigated it stands for MY WAY DISNEY PASSES. The 2 medics took a little detour and made a Visit to Disney before their ride Back to NYC and stuck her with the bill.

We will update this story as soon as new information becomes available.
