I work on a transport service so I have a different partner every shift, The partner I had the other day she and I had never worked together and was our first time to meet each other. We were on a call and at the hospital about to go in and pick our patient up. I back the truck up and she gets out and starts unloading the stretcher and forgets how close we parked to those concrete barriers, and the stretcher has an O2 tank at the foot of it, so goes to pull it out and forgot the pole was behind her. Well the stretcher and O2 tank hit her stomach and knock the breath out of her. When she said she felt like she was gonna black out I was like great the ER will have another patient. lol. She was ok after resting and laying down for a few minutes. Then during all that my belt holding my "action/adventure" pants, snapped and was not repairable. So the only thing I could find on the truck was some oxygen tubing so I pulled it off the NRB mask and run it through my belt loops and tie it at the front then cut the ends of so I can attempt to hide it. After we completed the call we went and got me a new belt!! My partner that day and I both cracked up the entire shift. Good thing we only had that one call the entire 12 hr shift.
