Your not sticking me with THAT needle!!!

[coloradoemt]

Called to a suicide attempt. Enroute PD says she is still armed with a knife and they cant find her. We post, get cleared to go in. On arrival this gal is being held down by 3 police officers and two FF's. She was cussing up a storm as we put her in soft restraints. Her history that day started with smoking a few joints, she then got the brilliant idea to get drunk, after that she proceeded to cloud what judgement she had left with a few lines of coke. In the back of the rig I still had to hold her down to keep her from picking her head up and launching projectile saliva apon us. When we got ready to start an IV she went balistic. After all she had done to herself there was no way she was going to let a no good, piece of @#$%, Terminator looking mother-@#$%^& (is this a bad thing?)like me stick her with a needle. Fot the record... I don't look a thing like Arnold!!!

No, No, No,


You giver her the 14ga in the back of the hand, "just because you can" and you then procede to tape it down with duct tape, because you can, and then you give the narcan IM, because she rolled over ont the IV site, because you can.

For the "official" record:



We treat all our patients like we would our own mothers.



(I never really did like my mother)

I've had people spit on me, curse at me, give me the finger - and I always treat them the same way I treat the nice little old ladies who hold my hand and kiss my hand and call me "little babushka".

Well if you were chances are you wouldnt remember how we did treat you. If you did remember what happened as an EMT you would understand. I agree with Medicstudent's statement about treating everyone as good as you would your mom.

I find it quite funny how someones post about crazy druggies can run into politics, then mothers (and who and who doesnt like them.) Starts my day with a smile, thats for sure.
