Quotes from Pts, bystanders

[DVFD48]

Does anyone have a quote or story given to them by a pt that makes you laugh still, I have two to start. On was a decon call, you know, when we go clean up some moron who danced with the PD. I walk up to the kid, and notive he is vleeding from the nose and lip. I ask him what happened. He looks at the ground and explains he was runnig from the cops and was looking behind him to see how far back they were. He turned back around just in time to go face first into a dumpser. Second one was while we were loading one very drunk dude into the ambulance. His buddy was watching us as the cops walked up. The buddy walks up face to face with the cop. chuckles and says, "You can't arrest me now, I put all my pot back in my car" so much for pleading the 5th.

My all time favorite is at almost every accident scene, there's always someone who yells, "Get them out of the car before it blows up!"

I know I would like to personally thank the writers of the CHiPs TV series for that misconception!

When I worked in the jail the PD brought in a drunk and disorderly who had wrecked his bicycle in a parking lot. While we were placing him in detox, he began resisting so obiviously we swarmed him all the while he was resisting he was hollering " Everybody watchout I;m a baaaad man, I'm a walmart parking lot violator"

C"mon, spread the wealth. Plenty of cars exploded after MVA's on Emergency, too.

Can't remember which website I first saw this on but my favorite response to the "looky-lous" when they ask what happened at an EMS call is "plane crash" or "shark attack".

I have two more to share.
one we get once and a while is that we'll have been on scene of a MVA for a few minutes and someone will run up, cell phone in hand asking if they should call 911. The other is we had a phsyc call in which the PD retrieved this lady from a swamp and she bagan to spout off about the alien-government conspiricies agaist her. What do the PD do, call rescue. So we come out, eval her and decide, why not she can go in our truck. So the medic and I are in back doing vitials and she looks at us a says "It won't do you any good" I make the mistake of saying "Huh?" she responds "I didn't shave my legs today so too bad" at which point I volunteer to drive.
