I agree....everyone's taking it too seriously. ;)

Yep, same here! LOL LOL I wondered if I was the only one :) An amputated finger...I start craving french fries and kethcup LOL :)

Yeah, same here. And often, they're not actually seizures. They're often either someone having the DTs or just pretending to have seizures so they can go to the hospital :rolleyes:

Thinking about making a big ol peach cobbler :)

Unable to sleep...off to work at 4 in the morning...

Hmmmmmmmm....yeah, I automatically thought of head injury/concussion. This is very similar to how I presented after my ambulance wreck. Or so I've been told LOL I was pretty outta it, so I don't know for sure.

Mmmmmm...Cherry Dr. Pepper!!! :)

Sounds like a closed head injury patient I once had...just throwing that out there.

As an EMT-Basic, I primarily do the Dr appts, the dialysis runs, the takebacks from local hospitals to nursing homes or other residences, the BLS transfers from one hospital to another. :) But I also have the chance to work MVAs, seizures, psych patients, etc. Just depends on which crews are...

:rolleyes: LOL Oh yeah!

I could strangle the dude who looked at me tonight and said "I have a feeling we're going to have a bad wreck tonight." What is he, a freaking prophet? Cause lo and behold, we have to go work a bad wreck. Geez....

Yep, I work for a private company.

I'm sorry....

LOL I guess it's the new pasttime for everyone. :rolleyes:

My first trauma as a brand-new EMT-Basic all by myself and my partner was a 1 veh 10-46 over the hill with entrapment and possible ejection because there was a little kid out of the vehicle, up on the road. Got there, the father was REALLY bad off and ended up dying later from what I found out...

When it rains, it POURS....one DOA, MVC, OD, shooting, homicide after another. Just glad my day has been sorta peaceful...

God what I would give to be in Margaritaville right now! LOL Hmmmm...sounds fun. Hope I have the chance to experience it someday :)

Oh yeah...or the ones who fall 3 days before and all of a sudden they decide they want a ride to the hospital. You get there, they walk out of the house to meet you, past 4 or 5 vehicles sitting in the drive. Then want you to run Signal 9 (lights and sirens) so they'll get to the ER faster...

OW! Oh, there have been some doozies here. One lady "forgot" she was done with her period and had left 12 tampons rotting inside her. Or the one who had a Mason jar stuck inside her. Sh** happens!!!! :wacko::unsure::sad::ph34r:

The Basic class I went through required us to have 10 hrs total patient contact time, with a total of 5 patient contacts. I, however, probably got 500+hrs patient contact time cause I did MUCH more than the required 10 hrs. I wanted to be sure that I had a good idea of what all could go on in...
