Called his wife; she said the same. Ended up restraining him; checked his sugar, which was in fact low; gave him D50, and suddenly he's the nicest guy, whose first question was "Oh, God.

I watched my type 1 diabetic friend go into convulsions while passed out on the floor from a sugar low. The paramedics that answered my 911 call to the hotel we were at, came in, saw him convulsing on the floor, and instantly assumed he was having some kind of drug overdose and kept asking me what drugs he had taken. But he didn't do drugs. He was just very skinny and liked tattoos. So they were profiling him as a drug addict. When one of them knelt beside him, while he still was having convulsions, eyes rolled back in his head. They said " hello sir can you tell me your name" to him. I was thinking, how do you expect a man having seizures to speak? But to my surprise and the EMTs, Suddenly he snapped back awake and came off the ground to his knees, fists drawn, ready to fight. I quickly said, this is 911, they are here to help. And he instantly crumbled back to the ground saying ok. I understand. They had him sit up and while he was covered in sweats and shaking uncontrollably, they made him use his own test kit to test his own sugar himself. Telling me they couldn't do it for him. And refusing to give him aid when he told them himself that he was having a sugar crash. They just kept saying ok. We need you to check your sugar then. But when it came back with a 13. They finally freaking got into action. Saying they don't understand how he is able to even talk or sit up. He shouldn't be coherent. I'm thinking, you mean like he was when you got here but Gods helping him explain his situation to you morons. But apparently they still didn't know how to handle the situation. They gave him a whole tube of gel glucose, a banana, a whole soda, and he ate a whole container of glucose tablets. And they were still making him check his own sugar levels through all of it. Once his sugar started to rise, they took him to the nearby small town hospital. By the time he was at the hospital his sugar was way over 600 because that's as high as their testing device would go.. The hospital got him down to 400, and then discharged him into my care and sent us back to our hotel room. I was panicked. He was only my friend. I didn't know what to do. And they acted like he would be ok. But I didn't think he was ok enough to be discharged. But I trusted them. He explained to me while in the car on the way back to the hotel, that the emts almost let him die, then they almost killed him. And that the hospital had discharged him to soon just to get rid of the liability they had created. He was furiously mad when they came to say he was free to go. But I didn't understand why at the time. Cause he knew he wasn't in the clear. But he said he let them discharge him knowing he was in even more danger if he made them let him stay. He taught me how to check his sugar and operate his insulin injector, then had me keep waking him up every hour to check his blood sugar and coherency, then give him another shot. I did this for the rest of the night and into the morning before he was finally in the clear. That was my first time seeing what happens when the EMTs and hospital don't know what they are doing or don't care if you die. So, don't have a blood sugar crash in north TX when visiting Bonham Texas for a fly ball tournament. They really only know how to handle drug addicts apparently. Not lifelong type 1 diabetics. But, now I know more than them and learned how to not blindly trust the professionals.

He knew what he had done, we just weren’t regular partners and I’m pretty sure his objective was to show me how tough he was. I had to have a chat with the boss later. He complained that I wasn’t professional. He also failed to mention WHY I laughed at him. The boss also laughed when I told him what had happened. *WORTH IT*

You could just write girlfriend/wife. Had to reread this like three times to understand that your “partner” was not a cop 👮‍♀️

​@@grap3soda32 actually, i believe by "partner" they were referring the one who was thrown against the wall. the rest of the comment clarifies that they laughed at *him* and that the patient was the 110 pound woman. op and his partner are EMTs.

​@@grap3soda32...except that they're not talking about a significant other, they're speaking about a coworker. "Partner" isn't just something cops call their coworkers

How’s about this.. don’t speak for her and let her respond 😊 🤫

And then everyone clapped and gave you a cookie right?

This is one of those moments I ask my friends, "and what did we learn?" Usually to hear a, "nothing" in reply lol

What makes this even better is the fact that Jason is already a !!HUGE MAN!! and he still feels this way about Jimmy.

[@Zack-Dean]

Jimmy looks like he could single handily over throw the government

Hmm. Perhaps we're not utilizing diabetics properly.
