Ain't that the truth...AMR seeks any excuse to give someone a ride and bill them later. They are nuts about cervical collars, too. A couple weeks, a drunk fell down on the sidewalk and they insisted on a cervical collar, backboard, the works.

BTW, remember the ABC's of initial assessment of a patient... A mbulance B efore C ops...

Not very busy Sat night. But the rest of the week has been crazy.

Sunday afternoon I assisted Deputies from VA on a weird accident.
The lady crashed into someones yard and threw her husband out of the back of their truck. She then left and proceeded back into WV where I got the pleasure to arrest her and take her to jail. When we went to the house she was hiding, (of course a house I have been to before), she was in a back bedroom. When we got her outside to talk to her, she started banging her head off of a brick wall saying the police are going to kill her. I arrested her and when I put her in my cruiser, she decided she wanted to lay down in the back seat and kick at me. I had to hog-tie her and wrap my middle seatbelt around her so she woulldn't fall on the floor. Then I had to fight her feet, and listen to her tell me I was killing her for about 30 minutes until I got to the jail. Also while going to the jail, she decided she was going to pull her pants down. Once I got to the jail, I had to drag her out of my back seat and carry her into the jail. Then the jail had to restrain her. I left the jail about 2 hours later and she had just stopped screaming.

Nah... they're called other things, but this is a clean forum, so I can't post those names here. Here's a few clean ones: Gurney-pushers, Expensive Medical Taxis, Ain't My Responsibility...

No, but really, they're usually just called EMT's, but I didn't want to get too technical about the level.

You're going through 9 mos. of EMT school? That's for the Paramedic level, right?

I was only joking.

I hate full moon nights, espicially when the moon rises with a bright orange color. It interacts with the huge magnet that is buried beneath our city to attract all the crazies from 100 miles around.

It espically attracts all the grovites from Dallas and people we affectionately call " lakers " from the south part of the county.

We have seriously thought about starting " Not Enough Shiny Paint " check points on the major roads into our town to keep from getting the imported crazies. The crazies we have are more than enough.

sPEC oPS.... Smart ***.Stop Patronizing me! and I don't have any dangers per se, except the occassional freak that comes in the front lobby. But I have a stressfull job. Making sure my officers get good accurate information (DL, warrant and hot file info) Immediately.

Making sure their paper is in booking when they arrive. collecting all their data for their investigation. I may not be out in the front lines, but I make damn sure that they get put away by leaving no stone unturned and making sure all teh elements of their crime has been ACCURATELY establish in the reports.

I do monitor prisoners and search em... I'm the jailor at our facility.

Sgt. Dave, I'm glad I could arouse you... ABT myeself.. lol.

[SGT Dave]

So wonderwoman...

DEAR...

I know this is totally unrelated...but what are you doing on the next full moon?

[HNDLC3]

Us too, but for some reason, it was the employees that were acting froggy!

Example:

Friday @ 1800 hrs: Dispatcher calls in and says that she is calling off for her shift on Saturday that starts at 1400 hrs! WTF?! She says that she feels sick and knows she won't be better by the next day, so she's giving us time to find someone for the shift. Yeah, right...

Saturday All Day: No one wants to work the shift, surprise surprise. I keep getting paged to see if I want to work it. No, I don't, since I specifically requested this day off since it is my daughter's 2nd birthday and we are having a party for her. BTW, this same thing happened last year, which had me leaving the party early because no one else wanted to work. I was NOT going to do that this year. My boss had to come in and work the shift.

Sunday @ 9am: Dispatcher calls me and tells me that the same dispatcher that called off has now convinced a call-taker to take over her dispatching shift for her. Furthermore, said dispatcher is now at a deployment station getting intimate with an ambulance driver WHO IS NOT HER HUSBAND! Hubby, a police officer to top it all off, is at home taking care of the kids. I called my boss (he just happens to live a few blocks away from the station) and he caught her there.

That was my weekend, AND I DIDN'T EVEN WORK!

[wonderwoman]

I find there is a lot of wanting to "get naked" when the moon is full. Interesting that others have mentioned it!

[klar]

LOL I do not see that in them Sandie. I think they are fun. LOL

Oh By the way check your PMs

My son's act different when its a full moon. They are little more testier and they act weird.
They fight more. And when they were infants they were harder to get settled down, they cried alot.
