Welcome to my ER blog. I'm an Emergency Room Nurse who loves what he does for a living. I get to meet really interesting people, help those in need, and make a difference. I also see patients coming in for the most ridiculous of reasons. I'm forced by law to see people who really don't need to be in an ER. Some of these people are so utterly ridiculous as to be worthy of being blogged about. That's what this particular blog is all about. So, read, laugh, enjoy, comment, and have fun.

Cool. Got another good cop story that made my day. We had this asshole, drunk who was under arrest and was, of course, claiming to be suicidal . He was handcuffed to his Hill Rom bed. I was the float/trauma nurse and had been intermitently dealing with this guy to help out his nurse. I was headed out to triage when i heard a loud bang and then some commotion. I went down to the room and found the patient lying on the floor beside his overturned bed and two Taser darts in this drunk's back! I smiled and asked the cop why in the hell he had tasered this patient? The cop replied, "he was trying to escape!" My reply, "what, with a 500# bed handcuffed to his wrist.?!" Love emergency nursing!
ReplyDeleteHa! I know I’m way too late here, but seriously, cop!?!? I hope that now, years later, they’ve figured out how to not delimb people who are handcuffed to large objects
