jaff:
Bordey or some of you other blood bus drivers, what are some of the more unusual callouts you have attended,? you often hear of patients presenting to emergency with "difficulties" some self inflicted :-o 

SA Firey:
Ooooohhhh...you have opened a real can of worms there Jaff :lol:

mmm..unfortunately.....nothing memorable

the usual "I lost my grip and it dissapeared up there" doesn't raise eyebrows anymore....sadly!

delivering babies is more memorable than the aforementioned cases...and no..not because I get a free look without getting slapped.... :mrgreen:

the odd trauma job is still memorable.... Car Vs Bike with the patient on the roof of the 4X4 with multiple fractures always makes you think....but more about selling the bike before it happens to you more than anything!

Most memorable case I attended was a Trauma job, much like what BM described.

Bike VS Car 4 km out of town. Bike was in excess of 120km/h when hitting the car doing a good 100km/h.

Bike had 2 on board. 1 with an open face helmet. (Rider and passenger located 200m down the road from the bike).

Some nasty injuries, some open fractures, spinal injuries, and some serious, serious skin graphs required.  (Resulted in retrieval funnily enough).

Normally the calls to the Hotel when you deal with inebriated persons are always quite amusing, whilst the most difficult at the same time.
