Poll ; Have you ever been in an ambulance.?

Question

...As a patient in an emergency, with or without the sirens,

and blue lights flashing.? If so, Why.?

I did when I thought I was in Labour with my daughter.

The pain was excruciating, but it was a false alarm,

and I had to get a taxi back.

(Yahoo chose the category as there was no other appropriate.)

Answer 1

And I dun want to try it

Answer 2

Yes, my sister and I were in a car accident and we were both put on stretches.  They did put the lights on but no sirens.  It turns out my sister and I were both OK except for a few bruises etc.  A drunk driver hit us and we ended up in a ditch!

Answer 3

Yes, as a patient, one minute I was sat on a train on my way into work - 10 minutes later I started to come round very very slowly to find I'd collapsed onto the passenger sat next to me. It took another 10 or so minutes before I was coherent enough for them to get me off the train & get a contact no. off me - I think I then threw up all over the guard before the bundled me into an Ambulance that had driven right into the middle of Victoria station.

Bl00dy h**l - yes, I had a car accident in 1993 and the paramedics were on strike and the army ambulance attended. Got taken away in one of those ambulances. How embarrassing :)

Answer 11

Yes, as a patient in an emergency.  No sirens, but lights.

I passed out in my kitchen & my husband found me there & called 911.  I was passing a kidney stone & didn't know it.  Scary.

Answer 12

I've been in a few. I once went in one because my friend had got beaten up by drunks.

I've been in them when I've had "a breakdown", had a particularly nasty accident or gone into anaphylactic shock when eating hazelnuts.

I've never been in as an emergency with flashing lights and sirens though. Maybe next time. (I'm accident prone so there's bound to be a next time.)

:-)

Answer 13

never.

and i hope to keep it that way.... :)

Answer 14

I used to be a nursing auxiliary, so I used to be chaperoning the patients to different hospitals. I was always in the blinking ambulance.

Answer 15

yes after I was in a car accident > it wasnt that serious but they turned the sirens on so they could get back quick coz they were about to go on break!!

The second time was with my daughter with a head injury, she had to have 13 stitches
