I am actually a hospital social worker, so while I'm familiar with the ER, that mostly extends to when you lovely people need me to handle the annoying aspect of "people are ****ing idiots, and unfortunately they have children and/or personal rights"
However, as the emts see it... for every flight of stairs the patient will gain fifty pounds, and then said patient (in a pain-induced delirium) will complain loudly that they "had to bring every ****ing attractive man on your service DIDN'T YOU?" while they help her slide down a backboard down the stairs. (Same patient managed to dislocate her patella trying to sit on slippery futon... go figure)
And a fifteen year old girl WILL try to stab her 6'5 cop father with a kitchen knife, and there WILL be a ton of questions when he comes to the ER with a knife wound to the upper arm and she has a twisted elbow from being disarmed! And the 90 lbs little girl will be the one that needs four point restraints!
