What do we do with the extra parts?

You mean you meant to do this?

Wow, look at how those bugs run away in the light!!!

"I don't think he's going to make it" overheard by a critical conscious patient

What the hell, did you see what just came out of that wound, it had to be 4 inches long.

The one thing you never want to say is...."Oh my god, gross! What the hell is that?"

[mikeymedic1984]

me: When was your last menstral cycle

patient: I am not a woman.

EMT: "So why are we taking you over to this psychiatric facility?"

PT: "I downed an entire bottle of tylenol"

EMT: (rolling eyes)........ "well there went your last headache"

Oh sh...t, here we go again! (As they come out of one seizure and into another)

From personal experience being the one on the stretcher; they may near you and completely freak!

I have heard a few other things as I was a frequent flyer; but let's not go there. I have a history of seizures and now I'm back in school as an EMT student and a nursing student.

Let's call the fire department - they aren't doing anything but watching tv

Overheard my partner in the back ask this of a college football player being transported after a horrible career ending knee injury...

"As long as we're here, can I get your autograph?"

The player actually gave it to him...

In a disgusted tone, What is your frequent flier level now?
