thought of another one... this wasn't said by me but by a pt. I was doing a rotation @ the ER for my Basic and I was holding a pt down bc the RN was in the prosses of drawing blood when he started seizing... he contiued for a bit then as he calmed down he said "I just wanna read To Kill a Mokingbird" I looked @ the RN then to the PT. Brother-in-law who was aiding me in holding the Pt. I aske the B-I-L "did he just say that he wants to read To Kill a Mokingbird?" "I think so... I mean it is a good book..." then the pt. let out another odd phrase "I need to get my car washed!"... later that nite we got him stablized and he didn't remeber saying anything and when the B-I-L told him he said "Well did you get the book? I would like to read it now"

well it wasn't realy on a call but in my BTLS class we were running through a senerio that a pt. had his legs amputated by a train... the studnet running the senerio, while taking a sample hist. asked the pt "has this ever happened to you b4?"

I work in Houston TX and get 12.50/hr as a basic. This is my first job and got my cert about a month and 1/2 ago.
