Here's a good one

If your Emergency Room has a bug zapper located in it.

My local ER has a bug zapper located inside the doors of the ER. The funny thing about this is that the actual ER is not located near an outside entrance.

Is it a Lifepak or a Zoll?

Ok this thread made me register.....

You have a stokes basket with wheels that you can pull behind an ATV.

-OR-

You Fire Chief is talking the the husband on a medical call and says "We'll take good care of her, BUT the next time you call 911 please tell them that your at the "Old Simpson Place", don't be giving them no road addresses, we'll find it a lot quicker that way."

(I swear this happened just yesterday.)

-OR-

Most of the guys wire their camper trailer harnesses the same way so that they match the departments ATV trailer.

You have to standby at a local high school football game, which is held on farmer Joe's pasture. (Yes, there is one school here in Arkansas that I know of that their football field is in a farmers pasture, because there wasnt enough room on the campus for one, so the farmer gladly donated his land for the purpose)

The fire whistle blows, and half of those football players, the coaches, and most of the crowd leave... Not because they are firefighters, but because it's the most boring place in the world and they don't want to miss the excitement.

When your fire department decides these hats are better than helmets.

When its not a party until someone gets naked.

Taking pic's of your buddies and forgetting your truck has a FD plate.

Good ol back woods fire departments. Yee Haw! Now thats what i call a cow boy.

oh ya.... love them all.

The below are true unless noted different

...When you have 911 roads named Piglet Rd and Ant Lane

...Your 911 signs label field roads

...you still have bag phone style phones that are analog...

...you get wrong number calls on your ambulance emergency number all the time.

.... you seem to know almost every patient at the local nursing homes, and most of the local residents.

If you've ever been browbeaten by your former high school math teacher for goofing up a drug calculation (one of my partners can't do them in his head, so he counts out loud while doing it)

If you've ever had a patient threaten to "tell your mother" when you didn't get an IV on the first attempt and feel this is a valid threat because your mother had the patient over for dinner just last week.
