Yup. You don't make small mistakes with machinery like that.

Sounds like a quick way to go, but really messy. Glad that I wasn't the one who caught the Ambulance call.

Veteran EMS staff probably joked about it later. Take an EMT class if you like those kinds of stories. I think some of the instructors get off on telling those. Maybe it’s part of the weeding out process.

The best/worse one I heard was about the guy who died in his bathtub. He was there long enough that his body, exceptfor the bones, dissolved. The cops ran outside gagging. The paramedics put on gloves and went fishing in the soup to get all of the bones. They had to get those out first before pulling the plug.

Brings new meaning to the phrase pulling the plug on someone.
