Just when I thought stupidity in EMS would no longer surprise me........

Then I see this on Facebook.

Does the cold weather in Northern Michigan cause some sort of pathophysiological influx of stupidity I am not aware of?

 

[TransportJockey]

What. The. F***?

:facepalm:

the fact they got permission from their boss makes this even worse.

If I did that at any place I currently or have worked in the past I would have been fired on the spot. Possibly lost my license in at least 1 place.


this is why we cant have nice things.

Ugh.... as an outdoorsman and non-vegan: cool.
As a medic.... Jesus H Christ, clown shoes....

Oh you're having chest pains? Hold on a second, let me get this dead deer off of my gurney for you to have a seat... wtf?!

 

[DesertMedic66]

I may have been dragged into that post lol. I really hope the department of health and state ems office finds the picture.

This is just natural progression from this

Life Lion -- Life Lion Crew Members Dave Zook, RN and Steve Weihbrecht, EMT-P escorting Fire/EMS personnel to the aircraft to load Zeke (K-9 Dog) for transport to the Vet Hospital.

K-9 is a completely different story.

I don't have the same reaction to this picture. Police k-9 injured in the line of duty...as long as you aren't bumping a pt... I more willing to forgive....that said it probably shouldn't happen.

So a flight team transporting an injured officer (which K-9s are) with more than adequate available resources left for human patients is on par with a hillbilly ambulance crew that is now the primary unit taking their unit out of service to gut roadkill IN THEIR BUS? Sure...

IF they were taking the deer to the animal clinic would it be ok then?

is the said deer a police officer? And are there other units available?

 

[TransportJockey]

Not really, no. Still taking out an available resource that could be used on humans. The K-9 story is rather different if for no other reason than Zeke is considered an officer just like his handler

As others have stated, is that deer a police officer? K-9s are considered officers. If you shoot a K-9 officer you can be charged criminally (and by criminally I mean a felony). If you shoot a deer nothing is probably gonna happen.

I'll admit that they heli is a little extreme but if the officers want a heli for the K-9, I'm not gonna stand in their way.

Sh-h-h-h. The deer was a confidential informant for Fish and Game.

Yeah, I agree, stupid, but relatively harmless stupid. Better than the entire shift at a small residential local FD station who were fired for group sex.

 

[Rano Pano]

Is gutting a deer a common skill in Michigan?

From looking at the picture they cut the deer's head off, right?

This is weird.

Stupid, for sure. Harmless, as well, more or less. Unprofessional? Absolutely.

I'm fairly sure the deer was whole, just missing the organs.
