Water Park - SNL

[@joelheffner3274]

[@bethhc]

My husband‘s friend is a female paramedic, one of the first ones in the Atlanta area back in the day. She told him that on her first day she wasn’t being taken seriously and was getting the cold shoulder from all the guys. Later that day they had a train versus pedestrian accident and the guys told her to go pick up some of the body parts off the track as a sort of ‘hazing’ experience. As she tells it to my husband, she walked over and picked up the man’s arm from the train track and then proceeded to hold it in the air and wave at all the guys using his arm. They all died laughing and immediately decided that she was okay. That sounds terrible to someone who isn’t in the medical field (my husband and I both are and my husband died laughing at the story) but I think it really does help you to depersonalize everything so that you can emotionally get through it. I know I wouldn’t be tough enough to do something like that so it’s good that I’m only a pharmacist lol😝

I had a call very similar to this. A super fat guy had been cooking his upstairs apartment for a about a week in the summer. He got dropped down the stairs.

[@chrisarcher1146]

@@theresachristie7150 Not really. Just means someone has to go down and get him. If your goal is speed/efficiency, goin' down to get him halfway ain't it. Corpses don't go 'round tight corners the way living people do; they ain't got no conscious thought to keep 'em on track and the water in most slides just isn't that deep or movin' that fast. Movin' through fluids like water is very technique dependent. Fluids not only deform but also disperse when you apply a force to them. It requires a lot more precision and control than moving by applying forces to solid objects like the ground or some other surface. You may not think about that difference if you're not in water a lot, but when you're dealing with a literal body that ain't got no brain controllin' it at all, suddenly that difference becomes important. Also, newly dead bodies don't have rigor mortis yet, they're unhelpfully floppy if your goal is to make them hydrodynamic.
