1. Could there be a more unattractive picture of this very cute guy?

4. If this kid was 10 years younger, Harvey Levin would be in his pants before Derek got to the hospital.

5. Yeah, Derek Hough is a real handsome guy and TMZ put up a picture of him that looks like his all drugged up on LSD or something. HE'S A FREAKING MORMAN! He doesn't drink coffee let along do drugs. THE 911 TAPE SUCKED!
THANKS AGAIN FOR NOTHING, TMZ !!!

6. This guy has been to the hospital how many times?
1. Once for his neck, then food poisoning, and now a fall. Poor kid he's famous for his hospital visits, instead of his great dancing skills.

7. Is he gay. He looks like gay Zac Efron.

8. The photo used is terrible. But we all know that TMZ does this intentionally, hoping we'll all click on the story to see what's up and why the star looks so bad. And isn't this old news? Over and done with! Do we really care about the 911 call? Get some REAL news, TMZ.....

9. He looks like he is getting it up the a-s-s in this pic. Then again, he probably knows the face well enough from experience.

10. Does someone have a voodoo doll on this kid?

Or is he just trying to get votes out of pity?

11. I love him. That is all.

12. If you listen to the tape the questions are asked in a specific order. That is because the dispatcher is using EMD (Emergency Medical Dispatch). For a dispatcher to be able to provide assistance over the phone, like CPR, you must be a certified EMD dispatcher. The reason the instructions are offered at the end of the call is to ensure that the person is not further injured while waiting for the ambulance. If the patient were given food and something happened that caused the need for intubation (tube to assist breathing) or the patient had to have emergency surgery, it could cause serious problems. Since this was a neck injury, there could have been complications requiring immediate surgery, hence the instruction not to give the patient food.

13. Derek - if you're out there - next time you need to call 911 - CALL ME! You're gorgeous and a very talented dancer! But when are you going to cut the hair??? It's getting old!

14. Yes, medical dispatchers usually will give EMD instructions in this matter(if their agency uses them). These instructions are important(no matter how bizarre Tmz makes them sound) so that nothing interferes with the help the patient is going to get.

15. Sorry, TMZ, but sometimes you go too far. Leave "normal" people alone so they don't turn into freaks like Brit.
