Anyone here have a story about grossing out a innocent onlooker on scene.Ill share my two.
When I was an EMTB I was working a code of an approx 300lb female with a paramedic partner that I wasnt usually with. A fireman was ventilating And I was doing CPR. As the paramedic turned to grab an epi I noticed a Cheeto fall out from under the patients breast. Without a thought I crunched it with my glove and said " Hey man she couldnt have been down long cause they are still crunchy" the look I got from the fireman and my partner as I chewed my gum trying to figure out why they were so shocked was priceless. It took several hours to convince him I didnt bite the cheeto.
The second call involves a patient who put a large commercial device into his rectum for fun. I wont get into all of it but the large baseball bat size tool was found under the patient. As we loaded him up I picked up the "object" and placed it into a biohazard bag with the police watching me. We loaded the patient up and I got in front to drive. Before we left I put on a new set of blue gloves to eat my french fries which got left in the truck as we were eating. As we get to the end of the hotel driveway the cops see me eating fries and waving to them with a blue gloved hand and dont know that I threw away the gloves that I used to grab to "object". One officer soiled his vest with his lunch and I only found out the next day that this had happened as I saw him and he asked me how I could be so sick. It took several hours to explain that one away too.
Anybody else ??
