I'm sure everyone has a great line that they have heard on scene, be it from a pt., a family member, other responders, etc.
I was literally getting into bed when my radio went off. The dispatch info was a female pt. having a panic attack. So I got dressed and made my way to the dorm where the call was located and met my partner outside of the dorm. When we got to the pt.'s room, she was sitting on her bed. We asked her what was wrong and she said "My heart is beating too fast. When your heart beats too fast, you die. Am I going to die?"
Needless to say, my partner and I just looked at one another and tried our hardest not to laugh. We told her that no, she was not going to die because of her heart beating too fast. When we started taking the pt.'s hx, we discovered that she had made marijuana brownies, eaten one, had a marijuana induced panic attack, and taken her anti-panic medication. AND, this was not her first time. :wacko:
