Paramedics put patient to bed in wrong house
Paramedics in Serbia dropped off a sick pensioner at the wrong house after hospital treatment and put him to bed.
Radomir Rakovic came home in the evening and found 77-year-old Stojadin Andjelkovic in his bed in Farkadzin, northern Serbia.
"I thought he was a tramp or a burglar or something and so I tried to make him leave. But he wasn't well and couldn't move," said Rakovic.
After calling police it was revealed the old man had been left there by paramedics from the local Zrenjanin hospital, who had mixed up his address, when taking him back home after a hospital appointment.
They said they had knocked on the door and when nobody answered had found a key under the mat and simply put him to bed.
They apologised to both men before taking Andjelkovic to the right home two miles away, local daily Blic reported.

Two lessons,
One get the key to your front door out from the mat near the door.
Two,
If the house is nicer than yours is, Don't say anything.....
:rolleyes: :confused: :eek:
