The Freeway Patrol MOI bit is not only hilarious but teaches some very important

lessons. Humor can be used to educate.

I showed that to my recent EMS adult education instructor class and it was a

great hit.

Re: where are the musicians?

Wow! I guess some people are sensitive. For reference, I started in EMS in

1981. I have been an EMT, EMT-P, and now an ED physician and EMS Physician for

large services, small services, urban and rural. A tactical physician and a

volunteer FF.

My first experience with mass produced EMS humor was a gag album (yes I still

have on vinyl) called " You Respond to Everyone but Me " Had such classics as the

cyanotic blues, haul and run (there's no time to be neat) and others.

As an ED physician, I know there are times I just want to turn the hydrant off.

When I was on the streets, I too loved the times I would arrive at an MVC and no

one would admit to being hurt (a no ride). There were times I wished I could

tell someone they are not riding with me, but I never was with one of those

services. I still can't do that in the ED.

I am afraid you may get offended by the YouTube video of the " Freeway Patrol -

The one with the Mechanism of Injury " too, so for your own good, don't watch

that! Oh, by the way, the patient in that was going to be a no ride, but instead

was basically kidnapped.

Be safe. Come talk to me at the EMS conference in November. And for your own

mental health, lighten up and laugh a little.

Gene makes as usual a great point. Even things that are grossly offensive can be

It was before my time, but I got the 45 for that song passed to me. It was the

same song but backwards on the flip side.

Re: where are the musicians?

Although some might consider this amusing, I don't believe that this is

something to happy about or even proud of. While I realize that refusals do

sometimes occur, they should not be the object of our attention or our goal when

leaving the station. This is just bad medicine.

I think that Wes and others that commented are right that there should be room

for humor in EMS

Francis said:

" While I realize that refusals do sometimes occur, they should not be the object

medicine. "

Humor is one thing, but I believe that Francis has hit on a sore spot in EMS

that should be patched. It appears that some if not many of the folks in EMS

today would rather sit at the station and make no calls at all. Even better if

someone could just send them a check and not have to work at all would be

better. The trend is becoming, bitch about the frequent flyers, about the calls

that were not worthy of the paragods attention, about being called away from the

recliner to attend a no ride patient, about having to do anything at work other

than start I.V's and save lives.

Yes Francis you have hit on something. I find no humor in the paragraph above.

Unfortunately there may be more to come.
