That's not a practical joke, that's cruel.
 
Not a joke but an accident...

We were cleanig the big old units we had when down the stairs from the dayroom comes "Tardy Tom" in his clean uniform asking if he can help (finally). I took the 24 by 24 inch dirty chamois I was using and threw it with a spin at him...that's right, twenty five feet away, ten feet up, he froze when he saw it spread out like a pizza crust and was looking up when it SETTLED on him like a stinky dirty wet leather cowl.
 
THE BEST prank ever!!

ok, I had no part in this at all. ;) Last week our director was being a real b^tch so we all decided to liven things up around the station. His office has this little wall closet in it where he keeps a couple changes of clothes, some crackers and stuff liek that, and a small collection of entertainment magazines, if ya know what I mean. So, us EMT students went in there when he was gone one day and pulled a good little number on his office. We took a black pair of business pants from the closet and laid them on his desk with the fly openand folded over. Then we took one of his "magazines" and opened it up to the centerfold and laid it there by the pants. One of the others went to the pantry and got some powdered sugar and mixed it up with hot water. We put it in a dropper and put a few drops on the front of the pants and then streaked it all over the desk and smeared it on the magazine page. By this time one of the Medics had saw what we were doing and came into the office to check it out. He started laughing his a$$ off and went and got a jar of vaseline and some napkins and opened the jar of vaseline and got the napkins all covered in it. Then he set the open jar of vaseline on the desk and the napkins there by the powdered sugar spots, which had now dried out and turned white. We left the ligths on and closed the door, then went outside to get our faces straight before we went back in. The rest of the day whenever we saw anybody else in the station we told them that the director had very important news to tell them. By the end of the day everyone had seen it and took pics and put one in every rig. The director came in the next day and we expected him to be p.o.'d but he just laughed like hell. We thought it was good until he put chocolate covered cherries on the black vinyl seats in the rigs. It was somewhere around 2 before everyone figured out why they had been getting weird looks from the public all day. lol cant wait 2 put the next one together

how to properly ventilate someone using 1, 2, and 3 person BVM techniques. and how to check tidal volumes. so see, just cuz u screw around a little don't mean u aren't learning.
 
This only works on a crappy cpr dummy. Take some oxygen tubing and stick it up so its in the dummys mouth but not sticking out. Cover the tubing with a jump bag or other kind of bag or something during a training or something. When the person puts their ear to the mouth to look, listen, feel for breathing, blow really hard into the tubing and hear them freak out!

Do you have anything wrong with these jokes if they are done out of the public eye? Wouldn't it help relieve stress and help with camaraderie?

It is one thing to have a laugh. But practical jokes keep building until someone gets hurt. Sadly it often ends up being the patient that gets hurt because ambulance is delayed while people fix clothes, remove ky from handles, put on dry uniforms, clean uniforms, etc. If you say it doesn't delay then your people are responding while filthy, or wet, and the patients confidence in your professional ability will be called into question. You can have fun and relieve stress w/o any physical interference.

Much more beneficial and stress relieving is to work out together.

Fair enough. I didn't think of that.

Do you have problems with pranks that DON'T put the patient in danger?
 
you're all a bunch of light weights.

That is criminal. Plus shows your ignorance of the risks of nitro. Some conditions that might not be obvious could have allowed that to kill him. I hope the DEA and your state health department learns of your misuse of medicines and you get disciplined.

For anyone that wants to be a medical professional nitro should never be given w/o an IV and a 15 lead.

Oh yeah... nothing like potentially killing our coworkers! Woohoo! Let's do it again!
 
Would an email to any of these people be called for seen as you appear set on causing disrepute to CEMS, stating you assault your coworkers and implying you steal from hospitals and i wonder does Craig have a pay in your paramedic school?

Well that is putting patients at risk. I would not be bragging and laughing about that.

Crap this so called profession is getting worse by the minute.
