I received a phone call today from a friend who is a medic with International Paper.
He was dispatched out to a call at approx. 0300 hrs last night for a 48 y/o M with profuse bleeding from a major artery in his left arm.
While doing his assessment he got down to the MOI, well his patient wasnt the brightest bulb in the box, so here goes.
Medic: Describe to me how you got your injury?
Pt: Well my hemorrhoids were bothering me so I went into the bathroom to examine them to see if I needed any medical attention at the ER after shift. I had my right foot placed on the urinal adjacent to the sink. Well I guess I wasnt paying attention, and my foot slipped. I hit the sink hard enough to knock it on the wall in which it shattered upon hitting the floor. I cut my arm on a piece of the sink.
Medic: well how did you get blood on your pants? Did you cut your private parts?
Pt: No, I was trying to hold my pants up and keep my arm from bleeding at the same time
Medic: is there any thing else you'd like me to know?
Pt: Well, there's a bit of water on the floor in there.
The only other thing I might add to this story is that this injury report went to the Memphis, TN headquarters, lol. :lol: :lol: :lol: :blink: :blink:
Have a nice day.
