ems pratical jokes

Last April 1st, we pulled up to the hospital with our lights on, sprinted out of the truck, ran to the back of the truck, and pulled out the stretcher. I got on the stretcher and did chest compressions on a nonexistant patient while our driver used a BVM and my partner worked the AED and pushed the stretcher into the ER. We ran to the trauma bed, moved the sheet off our stretcher onto the bed, threw a run sheet at the doc, remade the stretcher and bolted back out the door while the ER staff dissolved laughing.

Another good prank is to turn on the siren of any ambulance whose crew is dumb enough to turn it off. As soon as they turn it back on, earsplitting ensues.

I work mostly in an Intensive Care Unit now. We like to tell new techs that we have a patient that is real bad off and needs 10,000 units of Heparin. We then have them get a large cart to go to pharmacy to get that. When they get there pharmacy hands them a 250 ml bag of Heprine. We all have a laugh.

a good one to do to the priviate car of the gy you HATE... take a can of plain, ordinary shaving cream and flash-freeze it in liquid nitrogen. Use tin snips to cut the case off of the now-frozen shaving cream block, and quickly place the block under the seat of subject's car... when they get in, the can of shaving cream will have expanded to fill EVERY crevice in the vehicle. THIS IS NOT EASY to clean up... it is WORSE than Talcum powder.

Another REALLY BAD "prank" is to use lidocane jelly or Nitro Paste and smear the door handles of the rig... again... has the potential to actually hurt someone, so don't try this at home.

This prank I was drgged into when I was on my practicum (one car traing) in rural Saskatchewan. The one owner of the station was not on his game this day. He gave his truck keys to my partner and told us to shovel the gravel out of the back of it. We did that like he said but he failed to remember that it was his 40th B-Day that day and he gave us the perfect chance to let the whole town know. We went to the dallor store and got our supplies for the perfect B-Day present from us. We moved his truck onto the busy side of the station. We got 600 balloons filled the cab and the back of the truck (it had a topper) with pretty bright pink balloons. Then we used the nice bright pink tissue and decorated the outside of his truck, and the final touch was the neon pink sign on the truck "Honk It's *** 40th Birthday!!!" The best part of it was every time someone drove by and honked he would come out of his office and ask "why is everyone honking?" This went on for a while, then he went outside.

Needless to say he got his revenge on us, for the rest of my time there I was always on edge

LMAO, One time,my crew chief and director came into the station while I was sleeping on the floor (long story) and slammed the door,it made me jump and wake me up from a deep sleep,so I told the director that next time he did that I would cut his balls off and use them as door knockers,he laughed about it.

When I was an explorer down in Virginia I was told that if a firefighter didnt get up at the same time the others do,they would undress the person so that the person was naked,tie the person to a fire hydrant,and call the sheriff's department and report a naked guy was f---ing the hydrant.

We used to put a little lidocaine on pop cans and watch while the unfortunate recipient began to dribble while he was drinking.

We would always call the new dispatchers and tell them we need an ambulance for ??? at the address of the ambulance services still pisses them off

i told a new basic he would have to test the bags of normal saline, by making a small incision in the bag and tasting about .5 ccs of the fluid. he wanted to know what do i do with the open bag, i told him it was a resealable bag he actually open 5-6 bagas before the lead medic found out what i had done, also he had a bad taste in his mouth.

Okay this took planning and effort but the result is priceless...

First thing needed is a communal bunk room with drop ceilings, like in a fire station.

Second you need a 20 ga iv needle and two sets of oxygen tubing that are spliced together.

Now find your victims bunk and locate the ceiling tile directly over where his head will be on the pillow, or if you are meaner, groin under the blankets.

Insert the needle into the tile until the tip is almost all the way through the tile. Remove the needle leaving the catheter only.

Connect the tubing to the catheter hub, tape if necessary.

Run the tubing through the ceiling to either the kitchen or the bathroom sink. Barring access to either of these a sixty cc syringe to a pre-charged line is good too.

Wait for lights out.

Turn the water on very, very, very slowly. This will create on annoying microdrip on the sleeping vics head.

As long as you practice with the water before actually doing this to someone, you will learn to regulate the flow of water so as to be annoyingly undetectable. Just a little drip every now and then, he he he...

I have seen grown men almost come to blows because they couldn't see the catheter and thought some jackass was flicking water on them. Cried myself to sleep laughing.

Oldschoolmedic, you are such a stinker! ^_^

nummie gummies

After my partner took some ribbing from the night medic at the christmas party, he got so heated over it, almost took it personally. we went to the "gay" area of our city and picked up some tiny tiny rainbow stickers. when we got back to the station we put one on his personal vehicle. the sticker was a strip about three inches long and about an eighth of an inch high. we put it on his license plate. that sticker stayed there for about 3 weeks before he noticed. boy was he mad, couldnt figure out why he kept getting waves from guys on the road. my partner and i thought the idea was too funny, so we did it to everyone we dont like at the company we work for. people were swearing revenge, and i was up for a good game. i came home one day and found a sticker on the back of my car that said "f*** you cop!!!" priceless. i laughed my a$$ off.

I will share this even though it's rather embarrassing. When I was 18 I lived in a small rural town of about 3,500 people. The only fire and ambulance services in the area were all volunteer. We all carried pagers, and whenever there was an emergency call, all of the volunteers would drive their POV's to the hospital, or the fire dept. and assemble, then respond code 3 to the call. Well, after a weekly training, one of the other volunteers taped a playgirl centerfold to my tailgate. The next morning, we got a call for a structure fire and I was driving to the Fire Dept. I passed an elderly woman, and was stuck behind a semi-truck. I realized I had not turned on my hazard lights (because in Ca. voulunteers cannot have blue/red/ect. lights on their pov) so promptly activated them. So from this old womans prospective, I maneuvered in front of her, then activated my hazard lights promptly drawing her attention towards my tailgait as if to say, "Look at the big exposed penis on the back of my truck!"

I caught hell for that one for a long time! :blush:
