I had funny one in class too. We were running trauma scenerios. The scenerio was that we responded to a MVA with a Semi v a sedan. Our pt was the passenger and the driver was DOA with the semi on him. As we start treating our pt, our instructor (who is acting as the voice of the pt) says, "What...

As I read the first call I could not stop lauging. Literally on the floor lauging. Way to hang in there man.

Funny. I think everyone has had one of those foot in mouth moments. I know I sure have. Lol
