Add This To Your Bucket List

You just haven't lived until you've seen an extremely combative drunk guy/gal hog tied and carried out of the ER by police.

  1. 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!
