Pardon Me Ma'am ...

...is there a reason you were driving around without any clothes on before you crashed into this tree? If there is, like you were fleeing a deranged axe murderer or you were assaulted or something, I totally get it. If not, please refrain from doing it again.

It changes the whole extrication dynamic when your hoo-hoo is exposed to open air. It doesn't really make a difference when we pull the roof off or take the door and b-pillar, but it does make it a bit awkward when we have to reach down and disentangle your injured legs from the gas and brake pedals.

It's OK to drive around nekked if you want (Motorcop might have an issue with it though) and it's OK to crash into a tree - stuff happens. Just don't do them both at the same time.

I'm just sayin'

Thanks for reading,

  1. ummmmm, thats pretty awkward. I hope she was out of it! lol

    Had a guy once in a pretty serious wreck who was getting a chopper ride when we got him out. Once extricated EVERYBODY gets ALL their clothes cut off 'cause its mandatory when it comes to chopper rides. This guy was adament he didnt want his pants cut off. I thought it was because he had on a nice Armani suit. Well its not an option. My Lt. told him too bad and told me to continue cutting. Once the pants were cut we knew why...Pretty satin red Vicky Secret bikini undies. doh! Poor guy was mortified. I told him not to worry, Victoria Secrets was having a sale that week. ;)

  2. Dear Captain Schmoe,
    Uh-huh. I'd love to know what was in her blood, what was in her trunk, and what was on her mind.

    Other than that, no constructive comments come to mind . . . a lot of unworthy ones do pop up though. (giggle)

  3. Yeah, we usually wait until they are on the gurney before cutting all of the threads off, or at least on a board. This was just a weird deal. She was A&OX4, but we really didn't get into the clothing issue.

    We did find some clothes in the trunk however, lot of good they did her there.

    I just hope there wasn't some sort of sexual assault thing going on before the crash - you never know.

    You have achieved something that heretofore only Dr. Grumpy has managed to achieve.

    You have rendered me speechless.

    You have also given me some very bad visuals and like Ann T., some very unworthy thoughts.

    Thanks for the post :-)!

  5. Dear Captain,
    Yes, the giggle might be inappropriate, depending. I hope she gets some help regardless.
