Oh hell yes. And they think everyone is demons.
Or that they're God's.
So. Two stories:
First one was from back East when I was a nurses aid myself. I was pulled to work ER on Christmas. Bad night, had a baby die, everyone was on edge.
EMS brings in a jacked mother fucker from the streets. This dude had the strength of a bull elephant. He did a bunch of drugs and passed out in front of a good Samaritan who called 911. This asshole also had warrants out for his arrest in 3 different counties. So state police were waiting for us to medically clear him so he can be once more in their sweet embrace.
He did not want to be there, but since he was legally impaired and possibly injured we had to panscan him in the CT make sure he wasn't srsly hurt.
5 guards. Me, the ER attending, the ER resident, the VERY pregnant primary nurse (why they did that to her idk) and the Ex Afghanistan tour marine charge Nurse Fred all had to wrestle this guy. We tries a b52 IM but that didn't do shit (never does). He tried biting one of the guards (who was still a lil rattled cuz they took the dead baby down to the morgue earlier) and the guard called him a very bad name that begins with N.
We dropped an IV in him and did 2 rounds of HACK protocol. That's Haldol, Ativan, Cogentin and Ketamine. Didn't touch him. We did 10 of versed, which is enough to knock down a rhino. He fell asleep briefly. The ER attending looked at us and was like "I think we might need to intubate, that was alot of drugs get him to CT and bring the intubation box with you." We run to CT cuz intubating there or in a hallway is bad juju.
This motherfucker woke up on the CT table. Sat straight up. The nurse rushed in with me and we hit him with all she had with her (more Ativan) he slumped down and we ran the fastest CT I have ever been in. We pushed his stretcher back at Mach Jesus speeds. Hes in locking restraints. It's about 1/2 hour since his last dose of Hack n versed. And 10 minutes since his last dose of vitamin A. He sits straight up again, despite the restraints, looks at me n goes "Yo bitch, I gotta piss." I go alright and get the urinal. I tell him I will hold it since I can't take his restraints off.
I hold the bottle with his bits in it, and he decides to twist his hip and spray pee all down my leg, while llaughing. The whole ER pod heard me yell "Oh you MOTHERFUCKER."
I went and changed into a spare pair of burn icu scrubs and texted
@Scumhook since it was 3 am and I knew he'd be up. His reply was "DEAD BABIES AND GOLDEN SHOWERS?!! YOU HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER!"
2nd story:
From El paso. Dumb dude gets his heart broken by a girl. So the logical response is to set things on fire in the street. Police show up to arrest him and he claims suicidal Ideations and earns himself a trip to the ER for a psych workup.
I approach him to do blood work (he admits to alot of drugs and booze but we need to verify and make sure he doesn't die). He's covered in tats. I ask politely "Hey there sir, I know you wanna get out of here, to expedite that process can I draw some blood?" He starts wigging out and claims he's afraid of needles ( again, tattoos, how?). I offer to have someone hold his hand and tell him it won't hurt much, just a little poke.
He complies and I have my guard J hold his hand ( Jay had a hard time keeping a straight face) as I mom the fuck out of him and he cries a river over the girl that broke his heart. I get my blood and go to retract my needle and he decides now when I have a blood covered needle is the time to start trying to fight someone. I get stabbed as I try to engage the safety device, he de ides he's gonna fight Jay. Jay is pretty jacked himself and I swear he's had fight training cuz that Mexican ducked n weaved like a fucking prize fighter.
Motherfucker tries to throw the 900 lb ER stretcher at us at one point. I go low, Jay goes high we tackle him down and three other guards run in and help us hold him down while my charge draws up an IM b52. Remember how I said it didn't work?
Dude finally relaxes when PD comes back in and my charge threatens to file assault charges against him.
As he's lying there on the stretcher he looks up at Jay and goes "Dude, you're good I didn't land a hit on you."
