Couldn't find a topic for mistakes made, but here's my story for today.

We got a call for a 58 y/o female c/c SOB. We get on scene and shes on 2L via NC R/R about 40. But she's acting like a million bucks, just winded. So we get her into the truck and I notice she has a left BKA. No big deal, seen it a million times.

We were performing a 12-lead EKG. We got her all wired up and were just about to start it when my partner told me to check the left leg electrode. Without even thinking about it I told her "Oops. Your left leg fell off." :wacko:She didn't say anything so I wasn't sure if she heard me, but either way I felt embarrased. This may not be as funny to you guys as it was to me, but I thought I'd share it.

Well, at least you didn't stick the electrode on her prosthesis.


(Yes, I've seen that done. Also seen electrodes stuck on top of pantyhose)
