caller: i just got a phone call...
me: aaand? (pause) what about the phone call?
caller: i don't know
me: what can i help you with?
caller: i don't know who it was
me: you don't know who called you?
caller:no (pause) do you know who it was?
me: i can't help you with that
caller: ok (hangs up)


Going to be awhile before that one is topped.
 
A patient (little old lady with severe dementia) in the back of my ambulance tonight asked me, "Is this the back of the Mayflower?"

I restrained myself but I really felt like replying, "No...Do you remember the Mayflower?"
 
Go Bless you guys, i know it gets ruff with patience in your line of work.


When mymom was in the hospital and being transferred to the rehab, The hospital had her sooooooooooooooo morphined up, she told all us kids that she went for ride down to the shore to see her sister, which is 1 hr away, doubt they did, lol. And that when she got to the rehab, they measured her for a coffin, lol....which again they didnt do. My mom can't even handle a darvacet, let alone morphine. Now when we tell her the story, she's like what???? So, sometimes, it is better to just bite your tongue,lololol.

Stress Management


1.Picture yourself near a pristine mountain stream.

2.The weather is sunny & warm, with a light breeze.

3.Birds are softly chirping in the mountain air.

4.No one but you knows your secret place.

5.You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called "the world."

6.The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air.

7.The water is crystal clear.

8.You can easily make out the face of the person you're holding underwater.

Then you would have loved one I heard tonight at work.

My partner and I were on a call to transfer a psych patient from one hospital to another. We had just arrived at the first hospital and had gotten the stretcher out of the back, when a Baltimore City FD paramedic looked at us and said hello, then asked if we were "picking up or dropping off". Mind you, the empty stretcher was in plain sight between us.
 
Me troubleshooting over the phone

me-since your PC is frozen I need you to turn your computer off by pushing the power button on the front of the PC.
her-okay
me-now turn it back on
her-okay
me-let me know when it has booted back up to the desktop screen
her right away- it's back up
me thinking to my self -there's no way it could have booted up that quickly
me-which button did you push
her-the one on the screen
me-no, push the green button on the computer sitting under the monitor
