You know all those little kids named La'Quinta, Sha'meka, Yo'shreika? The population in our city loved those little bits of punctuation up there. How do you spell it? L-A-comma-to-the-top-Q-U-I-N-T-A. And that's mild, honestly.

I would refuse to transport without a lift assist. No job pays enough to hurt myself.

I kid you not. A girl in my college.

La-a.

No one got her name right. I thought It was leah.

Nope

She would say

My name is ladasha. The dash ain't be silent.
 
We have one bariatric stretcher that sits at base. It fits in two of the ambulances. Everyday I come in, I hope to not be in one of those two trucks. The typical procedure is to get a landline request, be asked to return to base from a location that is generally nowhere near base and an excellent napping spot. Swap stretchers, and then proceed to call location, which is also generally nowhere near base. Meet other ambulance for lift assist, and then pick up patient. If it's a doctor's visit, the patient usually has to stay on the stretcher because the doctor's office exam table cannot handle the weight/the patient is bedridden. So we lose two ambulances for every bariatric call, for the duration.

If it's a 911 call we usually skip getting the stretcher down there and make due with the normal one and its 700 pound capacity, along with a second crew. As everyone knows though, anyone over 350 is a toughie because of their width. We have the "fat girdles" that do an ok job along with the 9 foot straps in the c-spine bag. I know it's not comfortable for the patient, and they feel like they are going to fall off, but I don't see much alternative. If Boston EMS comes, you are also SOL as they have no wide stretchers either. Usually the lift assist ambulance follows is to the hospital too so we can get some help transferring them to the ED and facility bed (since the staff disappears at the appearance of a large individual).
