It started out funny, but then turned into poor taste when he went off on the patient (rather than the situation). Good first post man...good way to start out your rep

Clearly, a person who is in too much of a hurry. I appreciate the reasoning of the spelling of Bambulance. But the user failed to spell ambulance properly. Just sayin'.

Can't really say that's my typical day. I don't argue with dispatch, that's like shooting the messenger. It's not their fault a nursing home sits on a patient that ill. It's also not the patient's fault that they are ill. It may not even be the nurse's fault that they sat on the patient all day. They have protocols, and they often state that they can't send a patient out until labs are reviewed by the physician. He may not have gotten the lab work until 11 pm that night.

Do you know how serious abnormal labs can actually become for a person? Very serious, and very dangerous.

Besides, running calls doesn't bother me like it seems to bother a lot of other people in EMS. It's my job. If people didn't call 911, they wouldn't have a reason to keep me employed.

Just so no one has their feelers hurt, this post is NOT directed at the OP. It's just a statement on the video itself. Let them get their bearings here in the city before they get their butt jumped on. Plenty have posted those text to talk videos so it's only natural to think others here may find them funny. I don't, but I guess some people do.

I've never condoned the "EMS vs ___________________" mentality. It's this type of thought process that contributes to the poor view that others have of EMS in the world of public service.

I've never found these types of videos even slightly humerous. If the author is in EMS, it would generally make me question their professionalism.

LOL!

This video reminds me of what it was like working for the private ambulance company that I worked at 4 years ago. All they cared about was money. Not the patients. Not their employees... Just MONEY.

I used to work comms and this is some of the attitudes we would get from staff on the road, however not on the airwaves but on landline to comms. The attitude is out there true and hard, but don't rain on the poor guys parade guys, he was trying to share a joke with us all that is online, and its his first posts, ever been to party and made a joke to try fit in that didn't actually turn out funny?

I didn't find this particularly funny, but I certainly do not find it offensive.

All I heard was Rectal tube omg is there such a thing. I guess if there is an orifice there's a tube.
