Okay, all my stories are TRUE,,,,,NO JOKING. That is what makes them soooo funny....
During field training, my partner and I were waiting outside the ER, and the paramedic told us to take
the Striker cot back to the ambulance. We were thrilled to do so. The ambulance was parked on a hill.
The Striker cot has a metal clip that hooks onto the Ambulance. Well, let's just say that Pam didn't
quite get the Striker cot hooked securely onto the Ambulance. We begin chatting about whatnot and
pretty soon I see something rolling rather speedily down the hill. YES, it was our Striker. I think seeing
Pam run after the Striker was one of the funniest moments I had during my training.

911 was called....Paramedics arrive to find a girl and her boyfriend in the act of sex. They immediately assess the problem and find that when the girls father walked in on them, she was so scared that she tightened up and her boyfriend's penis was stuck . What to do? The Paramedics, trying to contain themselves, loaded up the couple and took them to the ER. An ER nurse gave the girl a shot of Valium to relax her, and out popped the penis.
Can you ever imagine going on a call like this?

Alright, Last one. During C-Spine week, my partner and I were trying to figure out how to place the C-collar onto
our victims....You will have to picture this part......we had the chin part of the C-collar on the back of the victims
head! I don't think we would have helped stabalize their spine whatsoever!

unloading a PT my heel caught in the door frame, I fell face first on the gurney on top of the PT, the old guy smiles and says "I feel so much better now", as I'm helped off the side my flight jacket hooks his leg, I step off and take his prosthetic leg with me unknowingly. In the ED he realizes his leg is gone and starts screaming at me that I tore his leg off, about that time our pilot walks in calmly with the leg over his shoulder "found this on the pad"

Wasn't funny then, but sorta funny now


when you stroke your friends, they all feel better,,,,,,
when your friend HAS a stroke, we all feel worse.

HILARIOUS Angel! I don't want to embarass you, but seriously that's funny. I would have loved to see that! I have some funny stuff, but it will have to wait. No time to type it all up right now.

Sad but true. Our crew Tx'd an elderly lady experiencing dizziness 45 mins. to our local ER. En route she started c/o CP. Upon exam there was nothing out of the ordinary. Vitals were WNL (NO that does NOT mean We Never Looked!!) and the 12 lead was ok. So we upped her O2 and kept a close eye on her. After a few mins. it occurred to me that she was wearing unusually tight undergarments. Well, I suggested we release her bra to see if it helped. When we sat her up and unhooked it WOW! She literally sprang out! Turns out she is a DD cup wearing a bra several sizes too small. Not only that, she was wearing a girdle that I know had to take an army of people to stuff her into. Apparently she had a date that night and was trying to look good!

to funny emtpixie,

I've run a few ground shifts, can be a bit more interesting than flight.

Last week during a 3 day rain, we landed on top of a small hill, the only 60 x 60 area around, we had about 200 feet to run to the scene (3 cars, 1 farm tractor) I took 3 strides, lost my footing, and rode a cowchip to the bottom of the hill, stood up embarrassed as hell, took 1 step and slipped again, grabbed a cops arm and we BOTH went down an embankment into a creek. WHOEVER was incharge of the LZ forgot about the minor detail of the creek.
and to make this all even worse, the bird sunk to the wheel struts in the field.

I shoulda stayed in bed
