Observations From The Bolance

Discovered tonight on a seizure call:

The map tracking on our computer system does not accurately pinpoint the location of the parish juvenile detention center. However, if you follow the turn-by-turn directions from the GPS navigation program in our mobile data terminals, it will lead you directly to Chuck E. Cheese.
16-year-old seizure fakers, as a general rule, aren’t very talented actors. Let’s put it this way: the kid we just transported was no Haley Joel Osment. I doubt he’d have even made it as Screech’s understudy in Saved By The Bell.

Wait a minute – I thought Chuck E. Cheese actually was a juvenile detention center

Hehehe- No surprise there… GPS's are ONLY as accurate as the input…

Chuck E. Cheese would make me long for the subtle aromas and ambiance of a detention center.

What could I add that wouldn't sound amateurish in such a crowd?

I got royally P.O.ed at our GPS this weekend. “not breathing” call. Damn thing got us lost in a trailer park. Asst. Pres. of our Rescue Squad was Paramedic on the box while I was driving. He was upset, and after dropping the patient (who was drunk and passed out) at the hospital, I re-drove the course to verify the problem.
BTW, Garmin does not do any discount or volume price to update the units… eight of them.

Chuck E. Cheese is an adult detention center for those who have bad kids!

So you tried to get to the juvenile detention center and ended up at Chuck E. Cheese. Um…I'm not seeing the system error there.

So did the trauma doc insert a HUGE Foley and miss the faker's vein four or five times when trying to get the IV in? If not, why not?

At what point did you realize the error? Probably sooner than that family in Washington (last year), I'll bet! You know, the one that directed them onto a summer forest road, during Winter Holliday? IIRC, not all survived THAT little jaunt. Aahhh, technology.
