Donor-cycles

This really ticks me off when I read it, so I thought I would share. I know some of ya'll ride so you will feel the same as I do about this one.

What a jerk.
Along those lines, here is a story I saw today about a Connecticut state trooper who said "So what" on a 9-1-1 call and then hung up when someone called about a friend injured in a motorcycle accident. It took 3 calls to get someone to give a crap.

Well, calling a cop and asking him to come and clean up your buddy's decapitated corpse from the asphault would probably put a hamper on anybody's day...

"His head's laying ten feet from his body, what should I do!?!"
"Oh HGFDF ASD hgsw asf"...


The cop was on his way, he just wasn't too happy about it...

Well that would be true if the cops actually did clean up your buddy's corpse. All they do around here is direct traffic.

We’re the ones left to pick up the body parts. Let me tell you... if you get the chance to do that.... pass on it. It is definitely a minus on the day's agenda.

To keep the firefighters happy...

I agree with t-7 dismembered body parts are no fun.
On another note who else should wear helmets? Ice skaters, horse riders, skate board riders, grandpa in the shower, cheerleaders, kids on bikes, people who refuse to wear seatbelts, window washers. I guess I could keep going on. At one time or another I have treated each one of these with head injuries. Their outcome may have been different if they were only wearing a helmet. But as they say stuff happens

This guy is like that moron Michael Moore, nobody with an IQ higher than a fence post is going pay any attention to his rants anyway. He is just out to get publicity via shock press, and everybody knows there is no such thing as "Bad Press".

I say ignore him and he will go away

Come on now....last time we did it we were cracking lines from Goodfellas....

My captain asked me the condition of a patient on an MVI one time....I told him "he's a Pez dispenser".

If it's a viable body part (maybe can be re-attached) we'll pick it up and send it along. If it's basically splatter, the guys in the van with no lights handle that.

Usually a bad thing when they call for the van with no lights.......

And that's supposed to make it all better.

My 2 rules for Riding in the DC Metro area:

Ride like you're invisable.

Never ride faster than your Guardian Angel can fly.

Just tell your officer you can't do the cleanup it's now a hazmat incident. That's our dept policy we no longer do washdowns.
