Whats your "opening line"?

[paramedicmike]

Sorry Mike, no one is listening to you.

I guess no one is interested in the three page discussion of this very topic in a thread of the exact same name from this past summer.

Howdy! I'm XXX with XXX Ambulance, This is my partner XXX, What seems to be going on tonight?

"Are you fucking kidding me!? You actually called 911 for this!? I've got a hangover so bad I'm seeing double and you expect me to actually do some work!? Fuck you! I'm out!" <throw down kits, kick the dog/cat/child/friend/spouse and slam the door on the way out>

At least that's MY preferred opening line...

sounds like a good line

How do you react when someone answers you opening line with something like "I called because I stubbed my toe and it hurts"?

I've found myself staring at patients with a blank stare for what felt like a few minutes before coming up with something not insulting to say. How do you handle these situations?

Probably tell them the same thing I tell people who continue to insist on posting on a duplicate thread after they've already been redirected to the original on this topic.

The simple solution would be to merge the threads. Mods?

Grumpy old timer.

Alas, I'm not a mod on this board...otherwise I would have by now.

I tried to spin the thread in a different direction. Unless there's a post somewhere else for my question as well.
