EMS Pearls of Wisdom


As an EMT, over the years you learn a thing or two. Here are some lighthearted things I've "learned".
  • The patient who is screaming that they're going to die, won't. You will wish they did
  • Believe the patient who says they're going to puke If they don't, you've lost nothing. If they do, forewarned is forearmed
  • Don't believe the patient who says he only drank one beer
  • Teenage girls vie for the Academy Award especially if all their friends are around
  • A quiet child is a very sick child
  • If you can't walk, you're going with us
  • If you've been on the floor for three days, you're going with us
  • When the doctor told you that you could have a drink of wine after supper, he didn't mean the twenty ounce tumbler
  • All children like to blow the siren including your driver
  • There's no such thing as death with dignity
  • Some things only hot lights and cold steel can fix
  • If God wants you home, there's nothing I can do
  • Piss me off with your whining minor drug OD you WILL drink the charcoal
  • If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs you're working a scene with the fire department
  • The police are your friends
  • You can climb three flights of stairs with a broken leg to call EMS
  • The two most important questions to ask your patient:
    Can you walk?

    Have you tried?
