EDP??????? what is an EDP? oh Emotionally disturbed person please don't use abbreviations that many of us don't readily know. Sort of like 10 codes.

I transported Jesus

I had one psych patient open the back doors of the ambulance and jump out - thankfully we were at a stop light.

I once transported a physician diagnosed nympho to our regional psych hospital..............

Longest damn 3 and 1/2 hours of my life. Played with herself the whole way there............

I had a psych pt. Saturday that just about whipped my tail. We eventually calmed them down enough to ride with us to the hospital. Once in the ambulance, the pt. was given 5mg of Haldol and 5mg of Valium. He was alright untill we were approx. 3 min. out from the ED. Then he blew a gasket. I mean, it was ON! The stretcher was actually bouncing!

As we were pulling up to the hospital my partner had the foresight to call for PD to meet us at the doors. Cuffs were applied and between the 4 cops, and 3 EMS personnel we managed to get him inside. As were restraining the pt to the ED bed, the 2nd year resident wants to evaluate the pt. He asks us what's the pt's c/c. :roll: After he took his last swing at me, ordered 10mg Haldol IV, which turned a few heads but worked great.

Has anyone ever administered Haldol IV before? Obviously it can be done. I thought it was IM only though. Learn something new everyday.
