You never know whats coming over the radio of that ambulance. I've done worse many times and just laughed at the funny looks I got. Could be a number of things.

Trying to find the correct address.
Probably a non-emergency and is a simple transport to a hospital or other health care facility. |

Sounds like they were actually government operatives casing your house before a big raid. I bet you get a visit tomorrow morning. You might want to hide your weapons and your dog!!

Another possibility is that they had a "Triple A" (Acute Aortic Aneurysm) or other such "rapid, but gentle" transport type patient in the back.
Or it could have been someone in severe back pain. Ambulance aren't built on Caddy chassis anymore - they use heavy truck frames, and they ride like it

lol. Some systems have 2 differently staffed types of ambulances also. That could explain 2 going in different directions at the same time.

Responding to two seperate incidents, perhaps? I don't know what the EMS procedure in your area is, or how many hospitals are in the vicinity, but depending on the situation/circumstances, an ambulance doesn't always transport a person to the nearest hospital (especially if it's a non-life threatening condition). Around here, the EMS crew will oftentimes transport the patient to the hospital they request that they be taken to. Usually it's because whatever hospital they request to be taken to happens to be the one where their primary care physician works out of. |

Was a patient in the back? The medic may have been doing something that would not be safe bouncing around. I have had the driver stop while starting IVs, listening for heart arythmias, and intubating. Simply stopping for 30 seconds or less can make a big difference in success.

Probably a wrong address or something, I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have to turn around in traffic and gotten a "WTF" look from someone.

You are all missing the correct answer.
It is daytime, right? Bright out. The little "overhead lights on" bulb on the console isn't very bright. They had their lights on, and forgot to turn them off. I forget my directional board on the back of my car all of the time (and so does everyone else) and occasionally forget to kill the overheads. You'll be driving around, wondering "why is everyone driving so politely today, for a change?" and "why does everyone keep getting out of my way?" Then you realize that you left your overhead emergency lights on. Oops. This isn't a problem on nights, when you can TELL that your darned lights are still on. |
