There's someone in the back of our unit!

Personally, I'd get more pissed off at the drunk, than at the woman. Drunk is not a mental issue or imbalance...that guy went out and got drunk. His being drunk is not a good excuse to have assaulted or threatened to assault me, next time don't get drunk. Mental illness, though, is rarely a choice, and trying to "punish" them is pointless.

If she went running into an office building and did the same thing she'd be arrested, right? What is any different about my ambulance?

I agree that mental illness is not chosen however drug use and medication non-compliance is.

Sorry, I meant to be a bit clearer...I was referring to the "pressing charges". Of course, they should both get the Silver Bracelet Award, but as far as wasting energy and time going to court, I'd fight a drunk over a EDP. A drunk may learn a lesson, but the EDP will still want to continue talking to Mars.

We shouldn't tolerate being assaulted, no matter how minor. Assault is assault. Period.

i totally agree with you
