This is not necessary; the EMTs are just going to cut them off of you....

This is true. We had a victim of a car accident in the back of the ambulance and had to cut his down jacket off him. You can only imagine what it looked like when we opened the ambulance door when we got to the hospital.

He turned out to be fine but we all looked like giant molting chickens.

I'll bet it looked like a chicken exploded in there.....

How the heck did we just go from clean underwear to giant exploding chickens in, like 6 posts?

Rampant humor!

OMG, I'm laughing so hard I'm nearly crying. I'm heading to bed. I'm going to dream about chickens wearing clean underwear driving ambulances and it's ALL YOUR FAULT!

good night, all!

Ok, back to the regular program! Glad you enjoyed the little humor in here!

This was a very fluffy jacket apparently. Clouds of down and feathers rolled out. We were finding feathers in the ambulance for days...no amount of cleaning could get them all. The ER entrance looked like it had snowed.
Moral of the story - in Shirley, NY if you are in a car accident wearing a down jacket you will probably not make it.

just kidding. everyone turned out fine so we could have a good laugh over the whole thing.

At least you could make up a much funnier story.

"Attacked by chickens. Darndest thing! They just WENT for him."

Probably all threads about death will eventually migrate to humor.

And I HATE it when they cut your clothes off. I think the nurses just like to do it. Then you have to wear that great gown for the rest of your time there. I was at the doc-in-a-box place when I hurt my wrist, at work. Nurse walks in and first thing she says is (and I am not kidding) "Okay, go ahead and take your pants off."

The aide that was taking my vitals stopped and stared at her. I stared at her.

I said, "You're a right friendly gal. If you could look at my wrist first, though...."

She looked at my chart and frowned then went right on with "Oh. I guess we can skip that step."

Her neck and her cheeks got redder and redder, over the next couple of minutes. I could tell when she was about to have to touch my skin. Her face would *glow* red. When she left to take the chart to x-ray, I never saw her again. Someone else took over. But the aide was kind enough to fill in the new nurse, what the last one said. She obviously had me confused with the guy somewhere else, with a hurt knee. It's not everyday you walk out of the hospital with a cast and a smile.
