So far, my worst call is a seizure patient who had five seizures lasting about 3 minutes while he was in our care. It was a fun time trying to give him in IV when he was flailing about. We had him in a Reeves stretcher, but we didn't secure the arms so medics would have access. It would have been much easier with an IO, but they don't carry them. So we had three EMTs and one medic in the back of an ambulance trying to hold this guy down. And he was winning.
The medic finally was able to push ativan and the guy starting coming back to consciousness when we finally got to the hospital.
