Must have been...disoriented...or something.
ReplyDeleteSo 'exited' like he opened the door and jumped out, or 'exited' like a euphemism for 'we didn't shut the door or secure the gurney correctly'?
ReplyDeleteMy thought also.
DeleteIf dementia is a factor that can explain the disorientation, and throw in the anger that often comes with it. It gets easier to see that as an outcome.
ReplyDeleteBut that's just one possible explanation.
My experience is they got you flat on your back, strapped down with doors shut and somebody or two standing beside you. How the fuck did he get out?

EMS has some serious splaining to do.
ReplyDeleteHit by "several vehicles" on the Interstate. Damn, they must have had to scrape him up.
ReplyDeleteAnd off a few bumpers.
DeleteFrom link - "The ambulance did not belong to the St. Lucie County Fire District, Brenda Smith, a fire district spokesperson, told the news outlet."
ReplyDeleteJust a guess, but this could a private ambulance. They make their money transporting patients at $200 - $300 a trip for the Medicare scam, when in many cases, a taxi could do the same thing for 50 bucks.
Law suit pending.....

How many points do you get for running over a guy falling/jumping from a ambulance? Asking for a driver in Death Race 2000.
ReplyDeleteThat'd do it.
