Next day I walked into the Marshville police station and there sat the chief of police at his desk. He looked up and saw me, my face burned and red, both eyes blood red, and he said tome, Goddamn, I hope you aint as mad with me as your wife was yesterday!

I hope you were.

Then she would’ve had to find parking and somehow help him into the hospital. Or she would’ve had to park in the ambulance lane, run into the hospital, run up to the front desk, and ask for someone to come out and help her boyfriend into the hospital.

Parking? You're hilarious. In a life-and-death emergency, I'm not looking for parking. LOL

Twenty years ago I would of laughed at that. Not now.

I know what you mean.
It keeps getting more and more realistic/accurate.

Defenders of incompetent arrogance like you do FR a huge disservice!

Police and Firefighters need to be trained to step aside if they are not competent to assist. A man is dead directly, proximately, because of incompetent arrogance.

Oh, come now... if nobody were to defend “incompetent arrogance” we wouldn’t have the Romney-Bots or the “You have to vote Republican!” guys who ensured Boehner got re-elected.

I wish I could LOL...

Oh noz! S and A will not hate. S and A will not hate.
Let them keep their own hate. It will devour them. We be love as best we can while we help them devour themselves.

She would've had to stop the car somewhere at the hospital. As I said, even if she pulled up to the door, she still would've had to run into the hospital and ask for help, or she would've had to somehow help him through the doors and ask for help.

Sorry, but I spent too much time being rushed to the hospital over and over again one year. I even was dropped off at the door of the emergency room a few times. If you really want to laugh, laugh at the idea that you pull up and the hospital staff rushes to your aid immediately. LOL. Now THAT'S funny.

Very distressing.

“Life threatening asthma is a kitchen sink emergency...”

I remember being given big shots of adrenaline at the Fort Meyer clinic when I had a bad asthma as a kid. I’d go from barely able to catch a breath to feeling like superman in about 10 seconds.

Much as I love Virginia it didn’t love me in spring and fall when the pollen load was heavy.

Having suffered from severe asthma in the past I’ll hate him for ya.

Actually, no I wasnt, not at him but the officer who held us up, I was pissed at him. I couldnt blame him for pulling us over cause we were speeding badly but he should have seen to it that I got to the hospital, I mean, you could look at me and tell I was in bad shape.I could hear David telling him to do what he was gonna do with him but first get me to the hospital cause he was afraid I was gonna be blinded. Instead, he kept us hung up there and wrote David a speeding ticket.

Next day when I saw the Chief he explained to me that even though it was an emergency, and that the officer handled it wrong, it was still against the law to be speeding like that. He then told me to tell David to tear up the ticket and he would handle it.

Distinction noted. I’m glad you came through with your vision intact.
