peoples stupidity.....
« on: August 19, 2012, 03:41:41 PM »
last night I started my career riding in an ambulance. started slow, spoke the infamous "q" word of "quiet" nights, and low and behold we get a call. Dispatch is a "code 1" (lights and sirens in my area) transfer to a level I Trauma center from a Level III. Alright, someone brought in their husband who had chest pain and it winds up being more then a heart attack me and my two partners assume, or its the girl in there earlier who loked like she was death walking. nothing amazing. Get to the ED we're transporting from, ask where the patient is we are transporting and we're told they just came out of a CT scan  :headscratch:. that aint what we expected. Arrive into the room the patient is in and we find out he jumped out of a car doing 30 mph. buddy brought him to his girlfriends house, and she brought him to his parents house, who brought him to the ED. Anywho, 3 hours later after all the paperwork and transfer is done we get back to the garage. Fractured his skull in 3 places, right around his skull was split into thirds almost. braing was shifted to his right side almost 2 cm from hemorrhage and inflamation.


someone tell me where the logic to jump out of a moving vehicle is, regardless of suicidal intentionso or alcohol/drug induced actions? Admit it, we've all had our nights of too much alcohol, some of us may even be recovered drug addicts, or had suicidal intentions at one point, and im not saying its true about that, but have you ever heard a friend or you think of doing something so clearly detrimental to your life? really guy? why?

dont think about it, if you start thinking then it will end up eating you alive.  your job is to take people to the er and that's it.  why or how is that they had to go in is not up to you.  my gf worked for 10 years in the er and right now she's in the er with acute alcohol poisoning.  she cant forget what she saw.  that along with a couple of other problems.

it isnt affecting me, I just dont understand the logic in it. the lack of logic is what irks me, not what I saw.

People do stupid things all the time. The problem is that technology now allows us to save their lives. Forever tainting the gene pool.

The thread title hints at the plural form of people with the word stupidity following it.

If there were an apostrophe before the s, it would imply the stupidity as possessed by people.

Any time someone wants to slag people as being stupid, they should carefully check what they wrote so as not to include themselves within the group they are slagging.........unless english is a "second language" and not the primary language of the poster.

No, you always remember certain events, no matter what happens. For me, my absolute worst event was being on site after a very simple low speed accident. The problem with it was one of the drivers was a pregnant woman who decided to wear her seat belt too high and the abrupt stop gave her a spontaneous abortion.

Please, if you see a pregnant woman, tell her to wear the seat belt properly.

Girlfriend said the guys friend said he was going 30 MPH, KMh. that is of course, second hand and no one knows for certain, but regardless of speed, what would possess on to jump from a moving car?

not sure if youve noticed on the bbs... proper spelling is only knit picked by a few. and even those few only do it rarely. correct? Yes, I am an EMT, yes one would "hope" I know my grammar in my "mother" tongue, being American, but no there is nothing saying I need to spell properly on an informal open discussion board, correct? In my run reports youre damn right I spell check and grammar nazi and have my partner(s) look it over make sure I didnt miss anything or mis spell anything. Difference between my license to practice medicine and the reputation of an ambulance service I represent when lawyers are involved as opposed to when im typing where no one will ever pass me in the street and know who i am, correct?

this is true, however I have met many members of ems where big events such as that dont affect them, such as my father. back in the 80's he went to a MVC and when he opened the back door a ladies foot rolled into his hands. never strayed him and he got over it. hes also seen brains splattered and poles in the front and out the back of a head. My dads father served in WWII as a Medic for Patton, he never spoke of the things he saw. Different events affect different people differently.

very aware of this, being the first "major" call one could say, mesmermized at the sheer stupidity some people have. Last summer I was at an accident (didnt have my EMT license, but did have a first responder cert), drunk guy was thrown a good 100' from his car after taking out two telephone poles. at the time I was 17, and for many people (least where I am) it would be more then enough to have seen his face, let alone the rest of him.

It's job security. Sounds cold and callous but after 21 years of it believe when I say it's useless to burn up brain cells trying to make sense of the stupid crap people do.
