Most Memorable Call

[Emtmom]

OK, this one is in the Pa. threads and has gotten some good stories, so let's try it here.
What is/was your most memorable call? Best, Worst, one you never want to see again, funniest....

[AC302]

My first "bad one" as an EMT in New London County. It was a double fatality involving a dumptruck and a car. The car lost. One male passenger with every bone in his body broken (first time I saw subcutaneous emphasema) and one 8 year old out the back window (multi system trauma, fractured skull and trachea torn out). It is one I cannot forget, but wish I could and it happened over 20 years ago.

We were toned out for a car-vs-motorcycle. The usual "bad" motorcycle wreck scenarios were playing through my head enroute. As we came up on the scene things started to "not look quite right". All I saw was a VERY large man laying in the middle of the road. Getting closer things "still didn't jive" with dispatch info. As I approached the patient on foot I finally spotted a MOPED off in the bushes. Questioning the patient revealed that he had been riding the moped, hit a patch of sand and "wiped out". It was really tough to suppress laughing as the vision of a 400+ pond man riding and falling off a moped went through my head!

Doesn't anything happen in CT anymore? I can't believe no one has anything to share! :confused:

OK guys, one last try! We were dispatched on a domestic scenario with injuries involved (back before BSI, scene safe, etc.). We were riding heavy with three (one new EMT). Our unit arrived prior to the PD. The "Rookie" wanted to rush right in and "help." The "Rookie" was told to sit tight and wait for the PD because the ruckus in progress could be heard outside (It was a multi family with the incident on the second floor). Our "Rookie" decided to be "HERO ON THE SPOT" and pop inside to see "what was happening." In short order "our hero" came running back out, jumped in the ambulance and loudly announced, "they're throwing things up there." This got everyone laughing and busting the "Rookie's" chops even the PD who had just arrived on scene. The PD rendered the scene safe and we let our "hero" be the first one in! :eek:
