Yah. A first for me.
Dispatched for a life assist. I was the 3rd on a BLS 911 truck (hey, I get paid decent money to have EMTs review with me things I know, and tell me a few things I didn't. Just cause I'm a Medic don't mean I can't learn something new everyday, and there was less paperwork to go around)
Get on scene, an elderly lady had fallen on her large rear, and couldn't get up. Her caretaker called 911, because she could not get her up. Myself and the other guy do the ol one, two upsiedasie and get her going.
After she gets her walker, she turns to us, and goes (I swear to you these are her exact words. I will never forget them either) Will you stay for my enema? Sometimes I fall down after them. The one guy who I was working with, without a beat deadpans with, "Does this happen every time you get one? You may want to reduce to amount of material being taken in if so." She persisted, and turned to me (the youngest, and cutest), and asked again.
I countered with the fact that it is a medical procedure, and that should something go wrong, by our mere presence could infer that we approved of the procedure, and could incur an large amount of liability upon ourselves.
By this time the LEO was out in the living room crying with laughter, with one of the EMTs I was working with, while the older lady had us cornered in her room, begging us to stay for the enema.
A first for me. Disturbing?
Yes.
I will be attending PTSD to rid myself of the memories attached to this incident. :wacko:
