Hasn’t Got The Heart To Know The Difference
Australia, Emergency Services, Extra Stupid, Paramedic, Queensland | Healthy | January 29, 2018
Paramedic
#1 : “Do you have any preexisting healthcare conditions?”
Patient: “No.”
Paramedic
#1 : “Ever been to hospital?”
Patient: “Nope!”
Paramedic
#1 : “Do you take any medications?”
Patient: “No.”
(After diagnosing a heart attack and commencing treatment, the patient starts feeling better. He chats with the second paramedic on the way to hospital.)
Patient: “Hang on, I have had one thing…”
Paramedic
#2 : “Yes?”
Patient: “It was, uh…”
Paramedic
#2 : “Yes?”
Patient: “A what-do-you-call-it… A cardiac arrest! Had one of those before.”
(And that’s why health care staff ask so many stupid and repetitive questions!)
