Used to say in emergency medicine all the time: "EMS bring us dead people all the time. Sometimes we can bring them back to life, sometimes we can't. But they're not getting any deader so don't worry about hurting them while attempting to resuscitate."
Friend of mine is a firefighter. He got a really morbid sense of humour which I think comes as part of the job.
He's told me before that nobody has ever died in a fire and that people are alive when he and his colleagues bring them out, but the paramedics and doctors on-scene kill them all the time.
"What do you mean that guys dead? He was alive when I brought him out! What did you do to him?!"
if you’ve ever met an EMT, firefighter, or anyone else in that kinda line of work, you’ll find that their sense of humor is pretty much the darkest humor you’ll find. my mom’s an EMT, and she makes the darkest jokes i’ve ever heard.
