Sh1t happens...learn from it. The more you drink the easier it will be to cruise the line between buzzed and maggoted

This pretty much explains how I feel
I have found out what it is like to be the patient in the hospital that I worked in the ED (anaphalyxis); the hospital that I did Medic school rotations in (anaphalyxis); the hospital that the medical director works at and we took most of our patients (anaphalyxis and concussion {2 different trips}); and the hospital here that is our medical director and closest hospital (asthma & pneumonia, same trip got to spend 4 days).
THey were all very professional, even if I did get laughed at; but I was laughing with them.
I would rather have not had any of the experiences.

So I just got a copy of my EMS/ER report...I feel like a huge :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:. Apparently when I first woke up ( I was GCS 8 on arrival) I was combative with the paramedic and did/said some things that I would never normally do. Do you think I should send a Thank you card/ Apology to the paramedic? Or just move on and hope he understands that I was out of it and not myself.
I just feel horrible that I was one of those patients we all hate. It kind of scares me because I honestly am a very nice and caring guy and would never act like I did under normal circumstances.

An apology card may not be a bad idea. Who knows, you may have to work with that paramedic later, and a little courtesy hopefully will go a long way.

When describing those pants, he should have taken the 5th.

Typical alcohol toxic psychosis. If you drink to get drunk, then you may have repeats of this episode. Only next time it could be a fall out a window, or out of a moving car.
The nursing director of my third job, a very preppy/PC sort of person, knowingly took amoxicillin despite a self-decribed "mild allergy", came in with florid anaphylaxis, and the IV benedryl caused her to hallucinate and rave. After she was stripped and draped in a sheet. If she can recover from that, you can recover from yours, but quit drinking like a 17 y/o.
