I’ve a ruler at the office.
By Chris | December 17, 2007
Eric relayed a story to me today. Apparently where he works at a place called Mount Pretentious, they responded to a report of a dead person. They got there, and lo and behold…dead. No one had seen this man since Friday. Cold to the touch, rigor mortis, the whole shebang. Reportedly he’d been popping antacids like they were candy…well…it wasn’t indigestion buddy, was a myocardial infarction. I love that word ‘infarction.’ AKA, cardiac arrest. I hate when people call it a heart attack. In any event. They get there, and they hook him up to the electrocardiograph (EKG) and run a ’strip’ - which is the printout of the sinus rhythm, or in this case… no sinus rhythm. The medic who ran the strip turns to the CCEMS supervisor:
“Did you want a copy of the strip?”
“No thanks, I’ve got a ruler back at the office.”
LMAO! Anyone with a little medical training might have found it humorous. If you don’t get it, shoot me an email.
