Really! About 2 years ago in Richmond Hill we had an MCI involving nothing *but* drunks! The first pt. fell down the stairs. His two roommates (also pixilated) got into a fight over who was going to pick pt.#1 off the floor. Pt.#4 came in off the street (from the local bar) and puked all over pt. #1 (put us out BBP, central), and Pt. #5 was just *intox*...the landlord. Plus the conditions car showed up.

You tell central you're close to a job so you can make it your last You know which hosps in your area have free food You've ever sat 89 in a park to avoid conditions You've ever had to tell central to have PD meet your head trauma pt. in the ER because you went 82 before they ever got to the scene You know what "put us out, OTP" means...

You know you're in urban EMS when... You're sent to a "drug" intox and your screen says 30 y/o male lying on corner...but when you're 84 there are *10* drunks there fitting that description..."hey central, you got a callback on this...what's our pt. wearing?"
