2 vehicle mva. One crossed the road and a GTI doing 185kmph in a 80kmph zone obliterated the poor Honda. 2 DOAs and 2 red codes. The people in the GTI was unharmed

 

[Angel]

Apparently we are a shuttle service. Taking a perfectly fine couple to the airport 2 hours away. The flight company sent an ambulance instead of a black car for some idiotic reason.
Yay me

Does that mean you had to fill out two PCRs for your "transport" to the airport?

Just one since the husband is a ride along but I'm documenting why no assessment vitals ect was done and everything is "passenger" because this is absurd.
The "patient" sat in the front seat if that tells you how unnecessary an ambulance was for this transport.

[TransportJockey]

Minor mvc. Starting my day by handing out narcotics

 

[Burritomedic1127]

Witnessed seizure while playing Goldeneye on Nintendo64

 

[Tigger]

Traffic accident with person trapped at the high school. No one told us they were doing one of those DriveSmart demonstrations for the senior class and we arrived to find an ambulance already there. Said ambulance is brand new and does not have radios installed yet, and dispatch was not smart enough to air it as an "exercise page."

 

[ERDoc]

Pelvic pain, "I think my baby's father gave me an STD," and a crappy sign out.

34-month pregnant patient from jail with possible contractions, G10/P1(!).

Deer through the windshield, entrapment, with multiple injuries in 11 degree weather. I HATE WINTER!
