Coded!

We ran a code this weekend and while we were working on the patient, my boss got on the radio to give the report to medvac for us

Pilot- MedVac to Unit 1 can we get a report on the patient and a exact weight

My Boss- Unit one to MedVac, pt coded on the crapper.....pt has been intubated, succesful on first attempt, IV access has been established running saline w/o, 2 rounds of epi 1:10000 have been adminstered and lidocaine has been pushed, pt. is now showing normal sinus rythm with a bp of 132/86, and a pulse strong and regular at 97, pt weighs around 130 pnds. Any more questions or orders on this pt?

Pilot- did you just say the pt coded on the crapper?

My Boss- 10-4

Pilot- (laughing) rough night for them huh?... eta 4 mins

i didn't have to put the whole report on there but i thought it was pretty cool we got her back lol, and even though coding on the toilet isn't that rare.. you don't usually hear coded on "crapper"

Maybe you should clarify ever so slightly..
 
"diabeetus"

Also, some of our jurisdiction is quite rural while most is a mid size city. A call came out for a hunter trapped a tree stand. For the next four minutes we here the units and dispatch going back and forth about a cross street when everyone in my unit knew there wasn't a single cross street on that rode for miles....

Oh and missing our "OK" checks...tends to piss off dispatch, so one night on a psych emergency with no PD on scene, we walk outside to be greeted by 4 police cruisers and our Captain. Good to know they have our backs I guess.
 
unit gets called to an accident on one of the NYC bridges...thats it. They responded to dispatch with "You'll have to do better than that."

Our dispatch was trying to talk to medic 406. Over the radio it sounded like 106. After 3 times the dispatcher changed it up.

"medic Quatro-O-sixo". Then 406 came back with "Medic Quatro-O-sixo go ahead"

i had to do that once giving a report to the hospital on an 8 yo male pt.

nurse: how old did you say the pt was?
me: eight. 8 year old pt.
nurse: did you 80?
me: negative. ZERO EIGHT.
nurse: can you repeat?
ME: OCHO! copy?
nurse: see you when you get here...

the dr found it funny when i got there. the nurse was falling asleep at the desk.
 
I've seen the traige nurse at one of the local trauma centers yell at the emts over the radio.. pretty funny.
 
I'd be pissed if a nurse yelled at me on the air.
 
Our hospital treats us very well, but you can bet your behind if they yelled at us on air, we'd have a word with them, and so would our duty officer. Quite a few of us also work in the ER, so its very rare anyone is ever cross either on the radio or in person.
 
Lol not sure if anyones posted this up yet but it's happened a couple of times.

Unit: This is unit 25, 2, 5, requesting priority one.
Dispatch: Unit 25, can we get a reference and doesn't your Pt have a valid DNR?
Unit: Reference, SOB, Pt does have DNR.
Dispatch: Code 3 Denied, proceed with flow of traffic.

That's when you either keep going Code 3 anyway, or have medics intercept and your company loses the pay from the transport :)
