TORONTO — Morgan Jones Phillips’ most popular paramedic story, the one that inspired him to assemble a play about life with Toronto EMS, starts as he is waiting for Chinese food and a call flashes on his pager. “Male, 37, feeling bored, cut off penis and flushed down toilet.”

Two more messages come in quick succession: “Patient will meet you at George’s Chicken,” a fast-food restaurant near Dundas and Sherbourne streets; and then: “Patient has been instructed to stay in his home and not go to George’s Chicken.”

The black comedy is tinged by the fact that the man had in fact cut off his penis with a Mach3 razor and flushed it down because, as he put it, his wife will never go back to him.
