Just can't get these right....
In EMS there is never a day or even a call that is exactly the same as another. They are like medicare sponsored snowflakes. At any rate, when you you think of combative and angry you usually do not think of a little old lady. However, this lady was pissed! Crazy, but pissed. So angry in fact that she tried to run me over with her walker. Calls like these always give me a funny feeling, and not in a good way. They are the 911 calls where no matter what I do, it seems that I can't ever get them right. Probably because they are no right or wrong answers to the questions at hand and that we do not have the adequate training to properly handle them. On the flip side to that, we do have the capability to give them a ride to the hospital. Now as much as I hate being call an "ambulance driver", it is a large part of what we do. Additionally, that is really all we have to do for this person. Take them to the hospital.
