i've only been on the street since 12/25. in the past 3 weeks the following has happened:
1. we get to a mva, clearly BS. the pt demands to be boarded/collared. we get him in the bus and my partner goes to start the engine and it doesn't even roll over. the pt starts screaming how uncomfortable he is and then removes everything from himself, opens the back doors and hops out and drives away. my partner and i are then stuck on the side of the road for 2 hrs waiting for roadside.
2. my first tour of overtime, on our first call, the partner i'm working with actually carries the pt to the bus by himself (the kid was 7 and was no more than 70 lbs)-- no problems. we finish the call, go to 7-11 and my partner throws his back out pouring coffee.
3. the partner i'm working with and i head to an EDP call. everything is going great till i go to seatbelt him in, the pt flips out b/c he thought we were just going to "check him out" and let him go. my partner goes to open the back doors from the outside, just at the same time the EDP is opening them from the inside. the EDP jumps on my partner, scratches him all over his arm and then is finally cuffed by PD.
4. tonight we go to an EDP call. we get there, ask is the guy was tossed and the cops are like "yeah yeah" and we get to the hopsital and the nurse wants him searched again and they find a 7 inch knife on him.
there are a few more stories that i can't seem to remember off hand... do you guys think i'm cursed?? and all my partners are doomed??
