Firefighters respond to medical call at Tiger Woods home this morning
Source: Orlando Sentinel

Reports show Orange County firefighters responded to a medical call at Tiger Woods' Isleworth mansion this morning.

Orange County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Genevieve Latham said firefighters responded to a home in the 6300 block of Deacon Circle at 2:36 a.m. The exact address of the call is listed as Tiger Woods' home, according to Orange County property records.

"It was a medical call and the patient refused to be transported to the hospital," Latham said.

This is the second time rescue crews show up at Woods' home since the Nov. 27 accident.

Although some news reports show a female patient had been taken from the home, Latham said there is no indication that rescue crews took anyone to the hospital.

A Cadillac Escalade, similar to the vehicle Woods had crashed outside his home, appeared at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee shortly after the 911 call to Woods' home, a report on WFTV.com shows.

Video footage from that news site shows the vehicle's tag is similar to the one on Woods' car, as reported in the Florida Highway Patrol's crash report.

The news site described the driver as a blonde woman.

2. His wife Elin moved out yesterday, right?
I guess Elin could have gone back already or maybe it was one of Tiger's 10 girlfriends.

3. A witness from the hospital was on Fox (by phone)
and said it was an older or more mature blond woman on the stretcher, and that shortly after a young blond woman arrived in a black Escalade.

I was switching channels checking for more reports of this, so I just HAD to look at Fox...

Just just adding the info here, with no idea how accurate it may be.

4. Update
By Walter Pacheco, Orlando Sentinel

7:46 a.m. EST, December 8, 2009

Reports show Orange County firefighters responded to a medical call at Tiger Woods' Isleworth mansion this morning and transported a woman to the hospital.

Orange County Fire Rescue spokeswoman Genevieve Latham said firefighters responded to a home in the 6300 block of Deacon Circle at 2:36 a.m. The exact address of the call is listed as Tiger Woods' home, according to Orange County property records.

Initially reports showed rescue crews did not transport anyone from the home, but Latham later countered that report and explained the information regarding that call had been incorrectly entered into their system.

"The command center made an error," Latham said. "The information was put in backward. Rescue crews did transport a patient to the hospital."

Rescue crews took the patient to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee. That is the same hospital that had treated Woods after he crashed his black Cadillac Escalade outside his house on Nov. 27.

Latham did not disclose the identity of the woman.

Video footage taken at the hospital show a black Cadillac Escalade, similar to the vehicle Woods had crashed outside his home, appeared at Health Central Hospital shortly after the 911 call to Woods' home, a report on WFTV.com shows.

The video footage from that news site shows the vehicle's tag is similar to the one on Woods' car, as reported in the Florida Highway Patrol's crash report.

6. Emergency At Tiger Woods’ Home?
Source: Brighthouse 13 News, Orlando FL. Reported by Mark Jenkins

Tuesday, December 08, 2009 6:50:51 AM

Reported by Mark Jenkins

ORLANDO -- Orange County Fire and Rescue responded to the home of Tiger Woods early Tuesday morning.

Records showed an adult female was transported to Health Central Hospital around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The log also showed a patient refusal, then an advanced life support patient.

A black Cadillac Escalade similar to the one Woods crashed in November also showed up at the hospital, reportedly with an unidentified, blond-haired woman behind the wheel.

The woman’s identity remains uncertain, but unconfirmed reports said it could be Woods’ wife, Elin Nordegren Woods, or her mother, who may have been visiting to comfort her daughter amid the recent events surrounding the Woods family.

Woods had been transported to the same hospital the morning of his crash.

Tiger Woods' Troubles: Ambulance Dispatched to Neighborhood, Wife Rumored to Be Leaving
Tiger Woods' Image Tarnished as Host of Women Come Forward to Allege Dalliances
By SARAH NETTER and RUSSELL GOLDMAN
Dec. 8, 2009

Emergency crews responded overnight to the posh Florida street where embattled golfer Tiger Woods lives after a 911 call early this morning.

Ambulance transports a woman from Tiger Woods' house to nearby hospital.

More PhotosABC's Orlando affiliate WFTV reported seeing a woman being removed from the ambulance on a gurney after arriving at the Health Central Hospital in Ocoee. The ambulance was followed by a black Cadillac Escalade, similar to the car Woods was driving when he crashed into a tree nearly two weeks ago, setting of a firestorm of tabloid reports about domestic strife and his many apparent mistresses.

Witnesses told WFTV that the Escalade was driven by an attractive blonde who bore similarities to Woods' wife, Elin Nordegren, and the car's license plate was one number off from the plate on the car Woods was driving the night of the crash.

Nordegren's mother and twin sister were rumored to have been spending time at the home.

The activity in Woods' Deacon Circle neighborhood comes hours after reports that Nordegren may have moved out and purchased a home in Sweden.

Swedish newspapers today reported she had bought a $2 million home dubbed "Faglaro Mansion" on a small, secluded island reachable by ferry from Stockholm.

Glad to see that ABC News has the journalistic integrity of a SNL sketch or supermarket tabloid.

14. When the big fall, they fall hard.
What a shame. Woods is such a talent and has so much to offer. It's sad that he's apparently just a human after all.

Few can stand the extreme intensity of public observation, and they should know and understand that becoming a household name brings a loss of privacy along with it.

I remember Lucille Ball was once asked what the most important advice ever given to her was. She responded that she didn't understand it at the time, but someone told her to take a walk down the street the night before her big debut. To look others in the eye and remember the feeling of anonymity, to just be another stranger passing by on the street. Ball later said she understood that advice later, and it was among the most powerful she was ever given.

It's sad to see Woods fall so hard and so fast, and he surely isn't dealing with it well. I guess eventually it happens to many, if you're doing something you really shouldn't be doing. He seemed to have it all: talent, money, opportunity, a beautiful wife and family, nice home...and he was willing to risk it all. Sad.

15. I hope it all works out for Tiger, his Ex, the children, and their friends.
Somehow I think not allowing Tiger to be a regular person in the past has caused him some issues.

17. Maybe, like some other talented people who have made some
big mistakes and who are discussed often here, maybe Mr. Woods was never allowed to be a child and never learned the lessons most of us learn as we transition into adulthood.

Just sayin'.

22. That's not the lesson
when we're growing up we learn lessons about self-control and self-image that underlie our decisions later in life.

If we fail to learn those lessons, the "logic" of don't screw the pancake house manager fails to compute. The lesson that HAS been learned is "I am Tiger Woods (or Michael Jackson or Anna Nicole Smith or boosh or whoever) and I can do whatever the hell I feel like because the rules that apply to other people don't apply to me."

23. I have to disagree
He was 20 or so when he turned pro, got the big contract from NIke and became a more-or-less household name. I knew who he was for some years before that but I'm a golf geek. Even being a golf geek I would not have recognized him on the street.

Anyway, he went to college at Stanford for three years. No girls would be impressed by him. I'm sure he was turned down then. He had to study. My point - he did have a somewhat normal young adulthood.

(I went to college with a golfing phenom - Steve Stricker. He is still on tour. Nobody knew who he was.)

25. most of us receive those lessons, it is our choice to absorb them
and there are famous folks who have chosen not to be pigs. Tiger is not one of them.

there are also loads of people who don't need to even receive a lesson in order to understand the old fashioned "golden rule", it just comes to some folks naturally.

Aside from Michael Jackson, who I think was a bit disturbed by his upbringing, Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, and you can name all the others have made being jerks and pigs a way of life and have made money off of it.

To be honest I remember seeing one episode of Paris' program where she and another twit went into normal people's homes and acted like out of control party girls. While others found it funny, I found it to be a mockery of average working people's lives.

Edited on Tue Dec-08-09 08:38 AM by katkat
This didn't happen quickly. It's apparently been going on for years. What was quick was it becoming known.

My sympathies to his wife, and I hope she got out of this without getting AIDS or hepatitis or whatever. And I hope the lady isn't her Mom; not the first time emotional stress would have health effects.

24. Cool! I'm "just a robot!"
I mean, I've been married almost 20 years, and have never once cheated on my wife (never even crossed my mind); however, only now do I realize that cheating on my spouse means I'm "apparently just a human after all."

I love being a robot.
