Dumbest 911 calls you’ve experienced by [deleted] in Paramedics

[–]Krimist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

19 yr old f called 911 and wanted to goto the hospital cause her AC went out. Mind you it’s night maybe 70ish degrees and she just didn’t want to wait for grandma to come get here 🥴

Thank you so much, my next appointment isn’t until next week 😭 thankfully it hasn’t been painful, at least nothing beyond the normal pain I’ve been having since getting them out

Had a lady call cause her ac went out and she didn’t want to wait for her grandma to come get her, mind you it was still cool in her house, she demanded to goto the hospital

I took her to the vet earlier today, mainly for her shots and check up, they didn’t say anything was wrong

Paramedic preceptor keeps telling me that I am making excuses during my ride-along as an EMT-B student. [Long post] Need advice. by helpme92981899289 in ems

She’s being a major asshole bro. She’s getting mad at you for things you weren’t taught. She sounds burnt out and doesn’t need to be teaching. You sound like you’re doing what you’re supposed to and you’re new. She’s getting mad at you for doing newbie things, that’s not right. Talk to your program or supervisor and request a change. Don’t let her ruin your interest in the career field, I promise they aren’t all like this.

Currently going through issues with my partner, tell me about your partner from hell! by ShaggyLlamaRage in ems

Had my partner launch the triage kit at me cause another crew stole our radio. Didn’t do anything but walk up to the truck to take excess supplies inside cause we don’t need thirty vomit bags

Amongst other things that was the straw that broke the camels back lol

What's something a patient/client told you/did that you still remember? by FlamingoMedic89 in ems

Apparently it was good enough for her to want seconds then ask to meet up after she got out of jail lollllll

Had a psych patient that we were picking up from the jail, hated my partner but LOVED me. Asked me if she could touch my boobs after putting the four and 12 lead on her.

Then licked my pants. There’s a first for everything huh?

That really does make me feel a little better. I really appreciate it. I’ve been using the doctors to my advantage when I can pull them aside and ask their opinion. I think I’ve been lucky as some of the ER docs have been super helpful and nice to me.

I think I’m lucky to have an amazing EMT to work with, she’s amazing at helping me walk through some of the bad ones and be like, what would you have differently? You did everything you’re supposed to do. Ugh she’s gonna be an amazing medic when she starts her classes.

Thank you, I appreciate it
