So I was on a ride-along a few years back. We get this call to the middle of nowhere. NO contact on the radios, no contact with cellphones. Wow.. NOW I am in BFE! Well we get the call for a 91f that fell out of a wheelchair. We arrive on scene to find the woman in bed in the what is ALWAYAS a 120 degree house. While the two techs were working the patient up, I was asked to go abck and get another bag. On my way out, I was talking to the husband who was about 87 or so. I asked him, "Sir, can you tell me what happened?" "Well my wife was out in the garden in her power wheelchair movin about and got stuck in the mud. So I backed up my truck, chained her to it and pulled her out..... she was doing great till she hit the edge of the driveway... then she just tipped right over (makaing the tipping motion with his hands)." he said. Trying to keep a straight face, I ask him, " Sir why did you chain your wife the the back of your truck?" His response.... " I could not get either of my tractors to start." I just about lost it after that... I was practicly useless.
Oh well.. hope you enjoyed as much as I still enjoy telling that one.
