We get our 3rd dispatch of the day to the payphone on the corner in front of a gas station for a patient c/o blood clot in his throat. And sure enough, as speculated, there stands 3 of our finest, most upstanding homeless guys. Slightly aggravated, as we had just driven by there not 3 minutes before and saw them standing there and saw them wave, we both get out and ask essentially Which one is going this time. The only one of the three we hadn't yet transported said him. Get in and how many times to I have to tell you no you cannot lay down on the stretcher, thats for sick people who have emergencys, not someone who is using me as a taxi se he can get to the hospital in time for lunch.
Laughing, my partner gets in, gives me that "Sucks to be you, I'm BLS'ing this look" Which I meet with my "Don't make me talk him into having Chest Pain and you know I'll do it" look.
Her assessment, just to be sure he didn't really have a blood clot in his throat, complete she laughs again and hops out.
On the way he starts in with I Liiiiiike Y..ew....
Great.
and Yer the most beauty..(BUUUURRRRPP!!)fullest one of you guys there is. Followed by his hand on my knee.
Oh god. Don't make me cause you to have a hand injury.
The entire freakin way....Im so pretty, He likes me, Im the best damn ambulance person who has ever picked him up.
At the hospital, he walks in and as I am telling the charge nurse what he's there for she starts cracking up laughing. Like she had to turn around and get the DR (My Medical Director btw) and other nurses to look with a "HEY GUYS....Look at THAT!!" announcement.
Behind me is Mr Bloodclot in his throat down on his knees, holding one of his beers that was in his backpack up towards me. He says, "You the nicest amblance people in the world. I'll marry you and never leave yer bed."
I almost did throw up a little....after multiple swear words and a jesus can't we baker act him and get him sent out of county some where...I just had to leave.
And I still had almost 11 hours left on my shift, and multiple transports to that hospital ahead of me.
Next time he calls, think anybody would notice if I accidently didn't stop in time and hit the phone booth with him standing in front of it??
