Well that was a good learning point. When dealing w/any elderly person w/a slovak or jewish name from the old country, always watch what you are wearing.

About a year ago my partner and I were responding to an MVA, one vehicle off the roadway and unknown injuires. While responding we see something in the roadway. Thinking that the accident occurred near a river I figured it was a dead deer and it had gotten hit by the vehicle. We are passing by this thing in the roadway and are about to radio onscene: "County, MedicXX is arriving....." "Holy s*&( we got one in the middle of the roadway." "County is cheif 503 on scene yet? "Yes MedicXX he's on scene." "OK can you have him come down here we are assessing this pt that is lying in the roadway" "MedicXX he's on scene can you just talk to him yourself" "County he's not here. Radio him and have him come to our location." "MedicXX he is onscene w/a DOA." "County I can assure you he is not here where we are. Please radio him and have him come to the accident scene on river road." &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Turns out what I thought was a deer was a dead guy. Seems that the jeep struck some drunk who was walking home. The jeep inturn gets screwy after striking the drunk and runs off the roadway. The driver of the jeep gets ejected and is pinned underneath the jeep. So in essance yes the chief was o/s but down over the embankment so he could not see our medic unit, and we were 50yds from him working on the pedestrian struck. As it goes the pedestrian that got struck was killed and the driver was also when he got pinned underneathhis Jeep. Truly a wierd call....plus no reprimand for the holy S&*% comment.

That figures....take away the joy of driving.
