Are you diabetic?
Got called to a Taco Bell for a possible diabetic emergency. PD is on scene and states that she is a possible DUI, however he states that she is a diabetic, so they are concerned about pressing forward if it has nothing to do with ETOH. The following is an actual converstation.
Paramedic; “Are you diabetic?”
PT; ” Yes”
Paramedic: “Ok, Which type?”
PT; (sobbing) “I don\’t know!”
Paramedic; “Bullshit.” After checking her FSBS, talking to the officer “Her BG is 86, Its good, You can give her the DUI.”
PT; “NO! I have multiple scoliosis!!”
Paramedic; “Oh, wow… Is that like multiple sclerosis, or more like scoliosis?”
PT now has a dumb founded look on her face.
As the Paramedic that ran it… I assure you it was very true….
We call that ‘incarceritis’ as in “Sir, you’re under arrest” reply: “I have chest pain
