Frustrating #EMSlife a collision last shift with a 4 yo in the front seat with just the lap belt on.
Hit be another car that ran the light.
Car seat in the back.
Asked the parent why the kid was not in the car seat: “if I knew I was going to be in an accident I would have”.

Just returned from a call, I don’t thing they teach defensive driving any more.
But the offensive driving course seems to be going strong.
Yeah the big red truck with flashing lights and siren means pull right. Not pull left and slam on the breaks.

Rural EMS vs Suburban EMS
Rural, farmer gets run over by tractor, fractured femur, finished chores, can’t work the clutch, apologizes for calling
SU, adult drops object on foot. It hurts with no visual injury can hold weight, insists we carry down stairs and pack a bag for them.

You never can predict what you get.
A naked lady, attacking a parked car with a watermelon.
Overdose victim found in a cemetery.
A cat scratch that did not draw blood.
Kid having problems breathing.
Adult with leg cramps.
All in the first 8 hours. 8 more to go.

Tonight’s #EMSLife WTF call: middle age person calling at 9pm (2100) to have their urinary catheter changed
Had skipped their doc appointment today
Got mad we would not do it, that we only go to the Emergency Department (and don’t bring them back home)
Left them cussing out us and the Triage nurse in the ED crowded waiting area.
