I had a patients family member demand a supervisor and file a complaint because I had the audacity to ask medically relevant questions instead of just taking the patient to the hospital like a good ambulance driver. She even pulled out the "I've had people fired from your agency before" and "It's even flagged on my house that if we call 911 a supervisor HAS to show up!" Needless to say my supervisor laughed when I told him the situation.
How DARE I say it was ok for a patient who had not had an appetite for 5 days be allowed to eat or drink when the 'lady in dispatch' said not to!

Dobermans tend to get very possessive of those they like.
It's perplexing to me.. The baby doesn't pet her, or feed her, or praise her. The baby doesn't play with her, the baby doesn't do anything. It's perplexing to me how a dog can look at something that has no value to improving the dog's existence, and show affection or possession.

Having this problem right now with a family of a patient. They thought our scene time was too long because they beat us to the hospital.

We were dispatched for a MVC yesterday afternoon, and the information was given to us in tiny little pieces with different radio traffic in between each tidbit. It was almost humorous, and left us wondering if there was really much more that could have been added before we got there.
"XYZ Medic, please assist ABC Fire & EMS with a 10-50 accident at 123 Main Street... Be advised, bystanders are reporting possible entrapment... The vehicle is reported to be inverted... Bystanders now reporting it is on fire... The vehicle has went off the bridge... There is a possible gas leak... Gas company advises that line is a high pressure line..."
We get there, and the van is inverted in the creek, off the bridge, but there was no fire or gas leak. The driver was completely fine, and was able to go BLS to the hospital.

It's easy to understand once you realize that the dog views the kid as a self-propelled chew toy. :rofl:

That was one of the most surprising things to me when I started- how people in so many terrible-looking accidents could so consistently have virtually no injuries.

What I've noticed is that the ones that usually cause the accident are the ones who are usually injured the least...:glare: seems like one of those life is unfair kinda deals.

Had a call to a "Major MVC with entrapment and fire".
The fire was the smoke from airbags, and the entrapment was "My door handle is stuck so I had to get out the other side".
Also had a "Rollover with ejection and entrapment". Get on scene to find a car with minor dents and scratches to the side, totally perplexed as to how it came out differently.

:lol: Those are every other shift!
My favorite car fire was one that PD called in for us. We get to the location that was given and there was nothing there. Asked PD for more info; they told us the vehicle was still mobile and they were trying to get the driver to pull over. He was over 2mi from the initial location :lol:

We had one where the car went off the road and flipped bumper over bumper before landing on it's wheels. It didn't even deploy the airbags.
How do we know that's what happened? PD was chasing the guy and caught it all on dash cam.
