My final EMS Ride of the class. I picked a Sunday, because Sundays are slow (typically) and I still needed to get some studying done for my final Monday. Hmm...15 calls and 12 hours later I was TIRED!!
So about call number 11 comes in as a "hemmorage, 17 y/o F beleives she may have a severe rectal bleed"
After every joke you can probably imagaine we get there, shes on the toilet justa bawling...It hurts...her head hurt, her arms hurt, her abdomen hurt, her legs hurt...it all hurt.
The Medic with me was like Go to it.
Kneel down in front of her...take one look...look at her and ask "Are you Pregnant?"
"No! I'm only 17, I can't get pregnant"
"Well then how come there is a foot hanging out of you?"
Paramedic: "What did you just say?"
Me: "Theres a foot hanging there...We gotta go...NOW!"
The girl is saying we must be wrong, shes 17 and cant get pregnant...Mom is telling the Pt if she is pregnant she is dead and out of the house...I tell the mom if she doesn't get out of our way her daughter just might end up that way as well as her brand new grandbaby....Mom does a 180 and starts yelling "Well don't let my grandbaby die...Why aren't you running!"
To the hospital w/ a FF on the stretcher, his hand - you know where...4 other Units are there waiting on us (I think they just wanted to see)...all doors and elevators are open and waiting...everyone in the ER looking at us hauling butt through the ER to the elevators...I think the room was actually holding its breath.
Straight to the OR...20 minutes later, the Charge nurse comes out...a baby girl, not in the best of conditions, but alive none the less...High 5's all around...a very grateful new "Grandma" comes out and hugs everyone....
And my Medic looks at me and says "Did you tell that woman her grandkid would die if she didn't move?"
"Yep...it worked."
"True, but then we had to listen to don't let my babies die"
Oh well...all in all...
VERY COOL!!!!
