I can clearly remember the instructing medic telling us in the obstetrics portion of class how glad he was that he's never had to deliver a baby. Every Medic I've ever run with has made it very clear that since obstetrics is classified as BLS in PA, that if we get an obstetrics call, I will be in back delivering the kid.
Well, it had been a long while, but no obstetrics calls. I guess people want to have their kids in a hospital, not a moving truck.
A few days ago though, we got paged lights and sirens to an unknown location for a possible childbirth. They give us the aproximate location, and my ambulance, along with 3 others from different services start cruising the area to find this car with the delivering woman. Well, dispatch gets back in touch with the husband, and they're now about half a mile from teh previous location.
This guy never pulled over! We drive for 10 minutes tryign to find them, and even though he called 911 for assisstance, HE NEVER PULLED OVER HIS CAR! I didn't have to deliver a baby though, cuz the dumb-arse made it out of our service area and into the hospital parking lot before anyone could find him. if he had stayed put, we would have been there sooner than it took for him to make it to the hospital.
Who calls 911 and then doesn't wait for help? Hero dad.... WE all got a good laugh about it though, and my hands didn't have to get sticky.
