Funniest moments with a patient in the back of the ambulance
Wow some of this stuff is disturbing and hilarious at the same time
We do very few transfers where I work, but to save money our one ED still relies on us for a lot of return homes, but they have to wait until call volume allows. That means we're often waking our patients at 2 or 3 in the morning to take them home, which in some of our dementia patients means we get them at their worst.
My partner and I were taking this lady home one night, I'm driving. The patient repeats over and over again, "just drop me off here." finally just gets mad and yells "I have a gun! Let me out now or I'll shoot you!"
My partner doesn't miss a beat, "You have to show it to me first."
So I take it that she didn't have a gun?
had an elderly bilateral leg amputee, who was demented, stick her stub legs up in the air, shaking them, all the while yelling "I'm coming, I'm coming"...
:rofl:
a Bariatrics pt. once said to me that it was a ton of fun:rofl:
Sometimes I wish the forum had a "like" button like facebook does haha
once had an elderly female during the transport im filling out the run sheet and asked what her phone number was she replied " I dont know" I said "you dont know your phone number?" and with out missing a beat she replied "well I dont call myself!!"
It made my day.
