I was in with a torn acl and meniscus. This lady filled up a garbage can projectile vomiting. This was after she puked all of the entrance, all over the sign in counter and everything in between. The finally gave her some big pads like dog training piss pads so she could just hurl on the ground. I couldnt leave and i was no longer worried about me knee, i was afraid whatever she had was gonna kill us all.

Was in the ER waiting room with my mother who was sick. We spent like 4 hours waiting and the whole time there was a guy rolling on the floor holding his stomach moaning and yelling in pain. Eventually later on these Army National Guard guys came in and one of them had some shooting range accident that resulted with shrapnel going into his eye and face. They were all laughing about it like it was the funniest damn thing to ever happen.

I was doing EMT training in Boise in the late 1980's. I was in the ER after a call, and a kid came in with both of his index fingers stuck in the holes of a wiffle ball.
He was 3-4 years old and freaked out and his mom was freaked out. Doc told me to deal with it (he watched). Soap was a no-go, so we cut the thing in half, then proceeded to cut it off of his fingers. It was so minor, but it really sticks in my brain. Someone came to the ER for a wiffle ball issue.... |

Was in the ER at 3am getting fingers stitched up after an unfortunate incident with a metal lathe, the guy in the next room was screaming and swearing as loud as he possibly could. I hear the nurse go in and ask him to keep quiet because there are other patients. He proceeds to tell her what she can do, I hear a brief struggle, and the nurse says " don't you bite me" then there are a lot of struggling type noises and he is quiet. She walks in and apologizes and says "I hate full moons, brings out all the weirdos"

Nothing terribly exciting to report on here. One time I took my mom to the emergency room around 10PM because she had an elevated heart rate for no reason. While we were waiting in the emergency room, a drunk guy sitting next to me started taking whole walnuts out of his pants pocket and started breaking them and eating them. It was all random. "Better grab some of these walnuts to snack on while I'm in the emergency room."

A couple of weeks before my dad died he just collapsed. He regained consciousness but was totally out of it. We took him to the ER, and while we were waiting with him I could hear some non-English speaker moaning in the next stall over. The people with her seemed concerned that she might have to leave, presumably due to inability to pay. They were assured that nobody left that ER until they were fixed up.
Then they came into our cubby to tell us they couldn't figure out what was wrong with dad so we should just take him home. Assholes.

A blonde midget carnival woman dressed as a cowgirl with a compress on her left eye waiting to see the nurse.
From talking to her I learned that apparently, since a lot of carnival workers are smokers, little people getting accidentally jabbed in the eye with a cigarette is not that uncommon. Very nice people BTW, she and her normal size husband. He was wearing regular street clothes, not a cowboy outfit: not a performer I guess. |

Saw a drunk sorority girl get her hair extensions carefully removed while passed out, by nurses. Then wrapped her tickets in her weave and put it in her purse. She had mouthed off in intake.
Drunk lady chugging listerine, back when it had alcohol, on a stretcher with a huge box fan petting it and thinking it was her cat. Psych pt bailed through the back in nothing but a gown and underwear. Security chased her down so she ripped off her blood soaked pad from her underwear and threw it in his face. The usual can’t move or walk for the pain but get pissed and leave after being offered toradol. The usual assortments of ambulance vs awning. ER doc walking around with a small glass bottle with a heart and asking everyone to guess where he got it. Was a domino an inmate shaved into a heart and stuck up his dick. Urologist with tons of X-rays of things in dicks. |

My friend's mom was an ER nurse at HCMC in Minneapolis. I was sleeping over at his house and we were up playing Super Nintendo and drinking soda and eating pizza rolls or something, typical 12yo weekend stuff. His mom comes home from work and tells us about one of their repeat customers. He was a self-injuring pill head, apparently that's fairly common. Most of the time he would just slam his hand in a door or drop a brick on his foot so he could get some meds. Apparently he was going for the good stuff this time because he shoved the toothbrush up his pee hole...... bristle...... end........ first. CSB.

Year and a half ago, I was in enough pain that my wife insisted on taking me to
the emergency room. it was a Saturday morning and I was dressed as I would normally have been, including a pair of brightly patterned socks. I am convinced those socks got me more attention and even expedited treatment. Everyone, from the first person I saw, nurses, CT scan crew, to X-ray tech, doctor, noticed and commented on my socks. Each was independent from the others. It was odd. Ailment turned out to be a kidney stone. |

1980 Grady ER in downtown Atlanta. It's 1 am Sunday morning and my soon to be wife comes over to my frat house with her roommate to get me. Their other roommate was in a car wreck and at Grady. They didn't want to go there alone so I went with them. When they sent her to xray the waiting room was full of two different groups that had been fighting. The main players were cuffed to gurneys. Then the fight started. Big police response.

My dad was friends with one of the LAFD chiefs involved with the old dispatch center. We went down there a couple of times just for the fun of watching the operations. Pretty interesting. They also pointed out one hot summer night that it was a Friday the thirteenth and check time. It was crazy. Problems all over the city. I had to take my dad to the ER one evening after a problem with a table saw. Not too much damage but they wanted a plastic surgeon to do the stitch up as it was the tip of the fingers and they wanted the best results and limited scarring. While waiting we were treated to a rather disgruntled (and probably a little drunk) woman complaining about them needing to do a blood draw. "I was bleeding a lot when I got here, why didn't you just get it then?"
Many years before he'd assisted on a TC when they dispatched the ambulance with a single fireman so random cops or other firemen would assist in driving, working the back, etc, if needed. Those days the arriving patients and waiting room shared the big double doors and triage often took place out there with everyone watching. It was a steady but boring (for the ER staff) evening. One of the gurney'd victims from the TC had a glass eye. As the doctor did his initial review, he told my dad he was going liven up the place a bit. "Be ready." He popped the guy's glass eye out and it rolled across the floor in front of all the waiting patients, family members and staff. All my dad said about it was it livened things up a lot more than the doctor had expected and it took a fair amount of time to get things cleaned up and settled down. |

ER staff got a big kick out of it. Eeeeeverybody had to come take a look. On the plus side, I can report that the NAR 4" Emergency Trauma Dressing, Flat, works like a charm on major lacerations of the extremities. |

Big black dude comes walking out of a car that just pulled speeding up to the firehouse. Turns out he got stabbed in the chest.
Enroute to the hospital I ask him how long the knife was that he got stabbed with... He replies, “I don’t know man, longer than my DICK!” 
I’m pretty sure I quoted him during my handoff to the trauma team.

Many years ago I got a furuncle (boil) on my neck and a very pleasant Navy doctor at Keflavik, Iceland excised it, stitched it up and packed it with something absorbent.
A week or so later I was in NYC and, per his instructions, went to Bellevue Hospital to have the stitches and packing taken out. While waiting and waiting two doctors came in and started to argue with each other. Someone had fallen out a window and was all broken up. The doctor who dealt with heads wanted to treat her first, but the other doctor who dealt with parts below said "no me first." They went back and forth, it got pretty heated and then all of a sudden they switched (!!!): the head doctor said "you take her first" and the body doctor said "no you take her." At this point I started fiddling with my stitches, got hold of the end of the packing string and pulled it out myself (it was surprisingly long) and walked the fuck out of there. |

Dude on a gurney who had fallen asleep in a tanning bed. He was redder than a boiled lobster with 1st and 2nd degree burns. The only un burned spots were where he had the towel over his junk and his eye lids from little plastic eye covers. The only reason he wasn't screaming was the pain meds.

I broke my ankle one night after doing a bunch of DRI king. My drinking g buddy takes me to the ER. They have me standing around waiting. I'm leaning against the wall, and a nurse asks me what's wrong. I told her I thought I broke my leg. She says walk over here and let me take a look at it. I told her, if I could fucking walk, I wouldn't be here. A gurney showed up right after that.

Late 80's I was a young cop guarding a sick prisoner, cuffed to the gurney (not mine) in the E/R of one our infamous South Bronx hospitals. A few minutes later an Indian woman and her young son (dot, not feather) sit down across from us. The kid has a quirky, annoyed look on his face and was kinda twitching and rotating his head like a fvckin' owl. One of the E/R doctors comes over and looks into the kids ear with a lighted scope and says "Ahh". I then wake up my sick prisoner and tell him "yo, check this shit out". The doctor then produces some forceps, sticks it deep in the kid's ear and pulls out the biggest, live S. Bronx cockroach I've ever seen. The kid then got his happy face on.

My most memorable was a 3AM trip to the ER for a bad kidney stone. Got in, pain meds and chilled out. Place is very quiet. Silent.
They roll someone into the next curtained area. Much hubub for 15 minutes, then quiet...except for the beeping of monitors. I can't see - but a Doc walks in and softly starts asking a young woman questions. Turns out she tried to commit suicide by prescription OD. She said she had tried suicide twice previously - same way - painkillers. Doc asks how many she took. It was a lot (like 20 or so). Doc asks where she got 20. Her answer: My primary care physician (named him). Doc asks if he knew she tried to OD twice before on painkillers? She replies "Yes". In the silence that followed I swear I could hear the Doc say "Son of a bitch" under his breath. Some further discussion and I couldn't help but grasp that this wasn't going to be her last attempt. That spooked me. |

I was in the ER exam area about 10 years ago after having severe pain and tightness in my chest and lower abdomen ( Turned out to be gall stones) and they brought a large black guy into the exam area on a stretcher and pulled the curtain between us. I laid there listening to all the noise, people running in and out and finally I heard someone say something like (That's it, or call it or something) and all the commotion ended. Then several more people (Relatives????) ran in, wailing, crying, kids and adults screaming all kinds of shit( Meanwhile I'm laying there in severe pain waiting for the pain meds to take effect.) He had died right there and his family was going nuts. I kept wishing I would just pass out but no I was awake for the whole show.
Gives me the creeps still today....... |

there was a shift change, and apparently, they fucking forgot me in the room, for like 6 hours. no one came in the fucking room for 6 hours. to be fair my back hurt pretty fuckin bad so it was called for and I wasn't about to try and get free from the damn thing. eventually I got someones attention |

Mid 80’s with a kidney stone from hell...can’t control the pain so they give me 4 doses of pain killers over 30 minutes. No help at all. Still rolling on the gurney in pain...Someone says “ Go get Martha”...she arrives and says get ready...she injects a cocktail into my Ivey...my eyeballs roll around in their sockets and finally settle down. I said...what was that? Oh that was a cross between heroin and morphine...wow, I could still feel obstruction but it just didn’t bother me anymore...

I waited an hour and a half in the lobby of an ER last year at 5 AM.
I was the only person there. I asked if there was a surgery or something that had everyone preoccupied when I finally did get seen. Nope, apparently (as per the nurse that saw me) the receptionist just sat on my being there for an hour, so that was pretty cool. It wasn’t really a big deal, I only had gall stones, but it hurt like a MF’er. The docs and rad techs that did my ultra sound we’re prettt surprised, apparently in shape 20-somethings don’t often have gall bladder issues. |

I how to 400 lb female subject handcuffed to a medical bed in the ER at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Forgot what I had her under arrest. But this landwhale was able to rock the bed to where it fell on the side. Mind you this is a fully adjustable medical bed, with the lifts, wheel base, etc.....
And this fat tub of lard rocked it like a kid in a walker. She landed on her side and remember. She was handcuffed to the bed. She shattered her wrist. I was going "Oh Fuck, now I have to babysit this landwhale in the hospital." Doctor comes in and xray her, wrote a medical clearance for the jail, and kicked her ass out. He said "fuck this shit, GET HER OUT OF HERE!" Jail accepted. So the landwhale now had broken wrist and was in Dade County Jail. |

Two of my guys took a VERY large nutjob to ER. Needed medical screen and pysch eval. Guy went off, officer pepper-sprayed him. ER evacuated. Was a big deal. My boss told me I had a meeting with the Chief and head ER doc on Monday morning. Was told to expect the worst. Got to meeting, Doc said after speaking with his staff they said my guys did what had to be done.
I was issued a stun gun the next week (before tasers). |
