Get-R-Dun Hello, is this the Sheriff's Office?" Yes. What can I do for you?" I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith.... He's hidin' marijuana inside his firewood! Don't quite know how he gets it inside them logs, but he's hidin' it there." Thank you very much for the call, sir." The next day, the Sheriff's Deputies descend on Virgil's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept. Using axes, they bust open every piece of wood, but find no marijuana. They sneer at Virgil and leave. Shortly, the phone rings at Virgil's house. Hey, Virgil! This here's Floyd.... did the Sheriff come?" "Yeah!" "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yep!" "Happy Birthday, buddy!" (Rednecks know how to Git-R-Dun)

I'll be printing this out for the ED at the Rockyview General, my fiance fell and his his head, then while he was waiting with medics he had a seizure. Now what does this have to do with him, well I have to do a scoop and run and bring him home, so before I do I'll be giving this to the medics at the hospital, wish them merry christmas and leave. :wink: Thanks AK, Hope your doing fine, wishing you and yours a Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas. it's -24, windchill is -33 right now, last night it was -28 and windchill was -41.

I get in trouble when I post something and they said I should of done a emtcity search, because there was one just like yours Hostess, done a while back. :wink:

EMS FRIENDS: Can't begin to remember who owes who money after taking care of each other for so long. (Proved right again) I like what Ems friends says, cant remember who owes what to whom and the fact they care. I like Asysin2leads, would like to have been there in spirit, when he was trying to explain this one to his mom. :wink:

He's the Stephen King version

When I was in the ED with my fiance, he was waiting his turn to get in to be seen, 2 ambulances come in, one was a man who was drunk and bleeding, they made him sit in the waiting room. The second ambulance came in and the lady was made to sit in the waiting room also. The man who reeked so bad, we moved further up and away from him, the lady just sat there. She looked at these people waiting and started to swear at them, then she looks at the drunk and calls him honey thats to bad, next time slice his throat open and he just sits there. Security comes down the hall and sits at his usually place. The doors open and out comes another person to wait in the room, it's a young girl of 15 yrs of age. The parents show up and they started to argue with the nurses in the triage area, this was across from us, about how sick their daughter was, if thats the case they wouldnt of called 911 for her, just as they are arguing, she stands up and vomits bright red blood all over the floor and falls sideways to the floor. The nurses run and my fiance say's he doesnt feel well, I said you dont have to stare at what's on the floor, so I gathered him up and we went for a walk. So your right about some things, if it's not that serious, the waiting room is the time period to reflect, if this was indeed serious then the true quality of care needs to be questioned. So the medics to do paperwork and leave. I can only imagine the lawsuit the hospital is going to have, we over heard 2 nurses talking about it, that 15 yr old girl died later that evening, she died at 10:16pm,you should of seen her she was white as a ghost. We never got out of there till 3:00am.

I feel bad for the parents having to face that challenge but also for the position the doctor's are in, it's not an easy task for them. I kinda agree and I dont, but what does the world think having to fund another child with mental retardation, or the poor child who would like to be normal and cant. We all hope when our kids are born that they have 10 fingers/toes, healthy as such but that is never the case.

I was at the PLC in the NW and I was walking by this one medic who was starting an IV on this guy, he said ouch loud and that hurt, and I said Oh the joys of starting an IV, and I kept on walking.

Her reason for taking so many? I have heard ppl who live in my best friend's appt, stories to make you ill. One guy took windex and drank it because his wife wouldnt let him watch football. One lady who goes by the name, Susan, drank dishwashing liquid, because she didnt get her cheque on time. Steven is 40 something, lives with his elderly mother, he took I guess there was about 70 tablets in this bottle, it was to help with the swelling that his mother suffers with, the mg in each tablet was 20 x 70 =1400 (he's dead now). Shortly there after they buried him, his mother OD. Henry who has schizophrenia, went off his medication when him and my best friend were living together, he said that the voices in his head told him to OD her on her meds. When I came to visit my friend and couldnt wake her, I called 911. He was taken in for questioning and released into the custody care of the medics and taken to hospital. She's alive today had I not gone over that day. She no longer lives with him, but now he lives in the same building as her, 2 floors above and because he is a danger to himself and others, even the cops wont do a dam thing. so what do you do with people like him?

At age 15 months I had pneumonia, growing up as my parents were told like any other child was normal, pneumonia, bronchitis, repeats of that over time. I was 18 when I ended up in the hospital with bronchitis so bad, the ER doc said to me, do you have asthma, and I just looked at him and he said dont be afraid to tell me, it's ok. All my life I suffered like this and they said it was normal, after being referred to a specialist: He told me from my case history I had asthma since I was a baby, and it was a matter of time before it got worse. My second oldest sister used to smoke, she quit along time ago, she was diagnosed with Asthma/Emphysema and she is 54, turning 55 Dec 1st. Her son when he was little had it as well, and supposedly grew out of it, but it's returned he's 20 yrs old and he smokes and is becoming an Emr in the new year. Smoking causes a lot of muscus to develop. I was a guinea pig for research of new drugs coming out for asthma, they know me well at the Special services building at Foothills Hospital over the years. If you have asthma like me and you shovel the walks, wear something over your mouth and nose, so that your breathing your own air and it's moist, breathing cold air causes you to wheeze more. Household dust makes it even more worse, animal dander (that means if you dont have pets, dont start). When taking your inhaled steroids, they tell you to rinse your mouth and throat out with water, even gargle with mouth wash, hopefully your not allergic to the alcohol in it, so they say rinse well, well not always can you do this, sometimes (powered inhalers) can leave behind residue, and thus you get a yeast infection in your throat. Most drug companies dont make inhalers with cfc's anymore, the propellants are different, (remember I was a guinea pig) I know this stuff so well. It was cool some of the things I got for being a guinea pig, got free stuff out of it, from the drug companies sponsoring this. As for your friend, tell her this nightmare if she doesnt take her illness serious, she could end up in a serious situation where they cant do anymore for you, it comes down to that, ventilators, ICU. It's a wake up call. Now for the good part, being good to yourself, treating the body as a whole, seriously I want to live forever, I will not let my asthma rule me, I will rule it. Yes there are other asthma srugs out there that could be more better for her.

Ummm, ok :shock:

Apparently in Calgary here, we have several cases of the Norwalk going around, some of the ppl are in Isolation at the PLC. Peter Lougheed Centre (hospital).

Just by looking at his picture you can tell what a LOSER he really is.

I would keep it but to a point where I would go and donate it to another charity, like the children's cottage or homeless shelter. You're right it sits in storage and when those men/women do an undercover and they use that money to buy drugs and bring these people down, it get's recorded and placed back in lock down storage. I would say get a receipt from that cop, his name, badge no# and how much there was, because your right when you think of it, who doesnt say they cant use that kind of cash, whose going to miss it, right?

It's like totally saying(I own 2 cats), I'm not mean and cruel but it was just so darn hilarious. I'm glad it made your day as it did mine, the day I saw this.

My thoughts on this is he needs to be reported/written up, so that in the near future it doesnt happen again. What is the common denominater for an Idiot? 56, the lower you go the more stupider they get.

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train in the living room. She heard the train stop & her son saying, "All of you bastards who want off, get the hell off now, 'cause this is the last stop! And all of you bastards who are getting on, get your ass in the train, cause we're going down the tracks." The horrified mother went in & told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room & stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out,you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language." Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom & resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped & the mother heard her son say, "All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today & hope your trip was a pleasant one." She hears the little boy continue, "For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today." As the mother began to smile, the child added, "For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat bitch in the kitchen."
