My dad was a former medic one town over. He got dispatched one day in the middle of winter for a 48 yo female possible anaphylactic reaction. He got on scene and the house REAKED of booze. There was a woman laying on the floor with her husband standing over her. As my dad's partner was hooking the woman up to the monitor, my dad asked, whats going on? The man replied (obviously drunk)
"I saved her friggen life."
"Ok so what happened?"
(partner butts in) "Heart rate of 220 respirations of 40, breath smells like alcohol."
(husband continues) " She fell over cause she had an allergic reaction"
"What is she allergic too?"
"Bees"
my dad now getting skeptical "Ok so what did you do?"
"I took her pen thing and i stuck it in her leg. when i tried to push the button in, it went a little ways and got stuck, so i twisted it and pushed it again, but it got stuck again so i twisted it and pushed it again."
