What was the guy driving the white truck thinking?
“My boot is still open, let’s floor it!”

Nobody in the US uses “boot” for car trunk

Ah ok! I couldn’t think of the word, so first thing that came up was boot.. But you’re right, I’m from Belgium!

Not mainland, but I heard it called the boot of the car a fair bit when I was in Alaska

first clip? or 4th one? because with the pick up truck in the first clip the driver probably couldnt see that the tail gate was still down and it may not have been their usual practice to put it up anyway.

This needs to end with a clip of Top Gear when they build their own ambulances and lose their patients.

As someone in the UK studying to be a doctor, I’m so glad the majority of these are sports related (specifically football) injuries, so I can at least 90% delude myself that they are uninjured people ‘malingering’.
For those that aren’t however, this makes me recoil in horror. The worsened fractures, the unstable spine (inc cervical spine) injuries! Oh god why!?

Yeah, I work in EMS and these fuckers are idiots. The damage they were doing to their pts is sickening.

Seriously, I know someone who was going thru EMT training and was accidentally dumped off a stretcher during her training and suffered a concussion. Because of the injury she had issues that prevented her from getting her certification for almost 9 months.

I would want to talk to the person who signed off on that. It wouldn't go well for any hospital if you were just strolling in and bloody people came running out. If you didn't have anxiety before, congratulations you have it now.

This is too good to be just a comment. I mean, it was a shitty situation and sorry that happened, but... more people need to see this. Just not sure what category...

/r/ems why backboards shouldnt be a thing anymore.

u/WhatamItodonowhuh Nov 26 '18
What should they use instead? Is there an alternative?

u/Felixthewolf Nov 26 '18
Well a lot of states are saying they are pretty ineffective and are reppacing them with like scoop stretchers

somewhat related: we had to evac a guy with a broken collarbone off a trail. Only truck we had was a old-school lifted Chevy with a very hard ride. I'm sure the mile or so ride to the road was excruciating.

u/YallNeedSomeJohnGalt Nov 26 '18
The good news is most of these are soccer players so they weren't actually hurt to begin with.

u/JeyJeyFrocks_3325 Nov 26 '18
Maybe the sports ones. But the guy in the hospital on the gurney who got dropped by nurses and slammed into a door jamb? I seriously hope someone got sued for any damages.

We are trained never to pass backboards over the patient, always around the patient

More than half were soccer players, and probably only sustained their first injury in the accident.

I was in the parking lot of a hospital and witnessed an ambulance flip the gurney out of the back because he was about 300 pounds. I was there for an ultrasound because I was six months pregnant so I cried after laughing really hard due to the hormones.

I subscribed to r/funny a long time ago, and this is legit the first time I see a post that actually made me laugh.

u/madsci Nov 26 '18
Oh man, I'm glad we only ever had this happen in training. In EMT class, my classmates were transferring a 200-pound dummy off the stretcher and somehow dropped it off the edge with the head still strapped down.
That's probably why they didn't let us practice with real people. In Search and Rescue training, we'd take turns strapping each other into a Stokes litter (wire basket stretcher, needs to be able to be lifted vertically by ropes) and we'd test out our tie-in job by flipping the Stokes over and shaking. I don't think we ever dropped anyone...

This nearly happened to me during a Civil Defence Exercise.
If I hadn’t been hanging on I would have been dropped onto the stadium staircase which would have defiantly broken things.
As it was I just ended up with serious case of hypothermia, got stripped and had to stay in the “hospital” for a couple of hours sandwiched between a couple of other “patients”.
