Hey Kiwi, Your car accident story reminded me of one of my own. It was a very minor collision and after assessing the parties involved it was clear there wore no injuries. A few minutes later I was approached by a woman complaining of neck pain after WITNESSING the accident. She said that when she heard the crash she "turned her head too quickly to see what happened".........we didn't transport.

I had one shift where I was going through my vehicular precepts where we were nonstop all night. Anyhoo, we were just getting to where we were clearing AZ Heart Hospital when we decided to assist another ambulance crew with their patient. I picked up the heart monitor and was printing out a strip for the receiving hospital and it kept printing, and printing, and printing some more until it printed out an entire roll of ekg paper that snaked down the hall and around the corner. My crew and I were laughing for the rest of the shift.

My most hysterical chief complaint in triage on CHRISTMAS DAY was "it hurts when I fart" ... and the woman was serious. I had to hide my face I was laughing so hard.

Aaron, miss working with you SOO much!

Hi all,
I had a great job last week that I felt compelled to share. The job was a three car nose-to-tail accident at approximately 30mph. The woman driving the last car managed to impact the vehicle in front of her with significant force to activate her airbags. Unfortunatley for her she was a bit on the short side and was therefore sitting close to the steering wheel. This meant that the airbag struck in right in the chest with reasonable force. When we arrived on scene her chief complaint was "whiplashed nipples"! Oh, did I mention she was blonde??? I guess that just shows stoopid is universal.
