Ok so it's like 10:45pm and I get to go home soon. I get off work at 11:30pm. I am the one with the ambulance pager and I get a page to go receive and ambulance that went straight to a room. They didn't page me for it ahead of time, great. So I get to the room and there's like 3 or 4 paramedics/emts that brought this patient in. This ambulance is a full arrest, which means they have no pulse, they are not breathing, they are trying to revive them. It's my job to get that patient's name so we can get them in the system. Obviously I cannot ask the patient for any information so I go to one of the paramedics and he gives me a sheet with a name and date of birth. The name looks like it's been scribbled on and written over so we try to make it out together and we come up with something. I decide to ask for a social security number because if they patient has been here before then I can probably find them under that because we would have asked the patient for it last time they were here. Do you want to know what this piece of shit said to me? And I QUOTE...
"I'm sorry, I couldn't get any information out of her."
Understandable. The patient is full arrest and not responding, I can live with that response, but then the asshole laughs like he was joking. LIKE HE WAS JOKINGLY SAYING THAT HE COULDN'T GET ANY INFORMATION OUT OF THE PATIENT BECAUSE OF THEIR CONDITION. This paramedic should be fired and, in my opinion does not deserve life if he's going to joke about a patient he brings in who is not going to be living much longer.
