A paramedic's version of hell

[Asysin2leads]

Dispatched to a multiple car pile up, and all of the occupants are medical malpractice attorneys.

Your partner is wearing a shirt that says "EMT's save paramedics", and immediately grabs for his camera phone on arrival.

Immediately rushing to aid are four RN's from the local nursing home and a podiatrist on scene

who starts barking orders.

Your FD back up arrives, and their apparatus is plastered with NASCAR stickers and confederate flags.

PD shows up and they promptly write you because the ambulance is facing the wrong direction, then administer breathalyzer tests to the firefighters, who all fail miserably.

You think another unit is coming to help but it turns out to be an investigative news team.

Your ambulance then loses all power, its your first call of the night, and you can't go home sick.

Are those like standing orders, or like pecking orders, or like pizza orders? I'm so confused, though any of those would sound useful.

Have you been watching SAVED again?

What's hell about it?

This happens more often than not for my department.

Sorry, Doc. The feet are at the other end.

That applies to one of the FDs in our district, along with the PD and one of the mutual aid EMS agencies. :?

That's because they're from Engine 151 in Staten Island, and just got done arguing about Elvis' birthday.

Let me guess its a township, one where everyone knows everyone, drinking buddies, smoking buddies and they wrote you up.

man thats just plain sad

Not sure what you're referring too, windsong, and mediccjh, that was a low blow, we all know that folding metal chair lept unprovoked into the firefighter's face.
