As we arrived on scene i was exspecting to see this guy running around and well hurting himself in some kinda way . As ro my dismay , hes naked ! yes , naked as a j bird . He is doing a reverse snow angle in the middle of the road while banging his head hard into the pavement until he finnally passed out . Well thats all the funny for this storey but i can say it was hard not to laugh .

I fail to see the humor in someone hitting their head until the point of passing out.

[Richard B the EMT]

I put this akin to the guy shot in the butt. Cops all laughing, until he keeled over from the inbleed, and died from exanguination (spelling?).

[TylerHastings]

I am sorry but I fail to see the humor in this at all....I thought the first rule was to treat.

[Dude]

I think you fail to see humor at all. The humor is the fact hes naked and doing reverse snow angles.. Get outta here with that treat first crap ,.. my job is to provide medical help to the sick and injured what the ******* you think i did just stand there ? lol

go read your books or somethnig rookie.

I see the public education system failed another.

What's the point of these threads?

Add me to the list of those who don't see anything funny in the misfortune of others. I'm not amused.

And I am no rookie.

Apparently alot of folks do. Look at the Jackass Franchise and oh yea YouTube

Its threads like this (and other things) that show we definatly need some chlorene in the gene pool (and a good backwash too)

Dude, I've heard stories similar to this and worse over the years that I've been in EMS. They are not funny. There are a lot of reasons why they aren't.

Add me to the list of "Don't find this funny" people.

I disagree with the premise of this.

Jackass and similar shows are usually people who purposefully and willingly undertake the abuse. They go out of their way to create a situation where one of their "costars" or even themselves will be hurt. They do so in the name of entertainment.

Other shows like the funniest home video series are in line with the patient in the OP. It's either accidental or the result of some injury/illness process that makes the person behave in the observed manner. Accidental or not, injury/illness or not, finding humour in the misfortune of others is not funny and shows a remarkable lack of maturity.

The subject in the OP presumably did not do this in the name of entertainment.

Chlorine is needed along with a good spell check program.
