Today, I was on the job as an ambulance driver, I got a call about a man who claimed he'd had a heart attack. When I got to the house, it turned out the man was fine. I did however manage to hit a dog on the way there in fear of the man dying. FML

Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML

Today, I was in the middle of walking home when I saw an old woman trying to get away from what looked like a mugger. I go over and try to help her out and get the man off of her, which was successful. Turns out she was having a heart attack and the man was a doctor. FML

Today, my husband had heart attack symptoms on the way to his family event. We stopped, called an ambulance, and he was taken off to hospital. I called his family to update them. They still expected us to turn up. FML

Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly runs across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family that owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML

Today, as I was walking home, I saw an ambulance pull into my driveway with its sirens blaring. Thinking it could be for my sick father, I started frantically sprinting. I managed to trip on my pant-leg, twisting my ankle in the process. They were just turning around in my driveway. FML

Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML

The precious truck

Today, I got fired because, while responding to an emergency page for the volunteer fire department to help find a man in a field with a gunshot wound, I backed into a rock with the company truck that I drive to and from work. Nobody asked about the guy with the bullet inside him. He's OK now, in case anyone cares. FML

Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML

Today, at my job as a hotel housekeeper, I accidentally entered the room of someone who hadn't left yet. To my horror, the man inside was having a massive heart attack. I just found out he passed away, despite immediate medical intervention. FML

Today, I swerved off the road and hit a tree in order to avoid hitting a dog that came out of nowhere. Don't worry, I didn't hit him. The person behind me did, though. FML

I say FYL. And everyone saying YDI really needs to relax. I understand everyone loves animals. I do too. I would probably cry if I hit one. But where I come from, the first lesson they teach you in driving school is unless you can avoid hitting an animal without putting yourself or anyone else in danger, you have to run it over.

First of all u suck. I HATE being referred to as an "ambulance driver"and would never under any circumstances refer to myself as that. Second, since when does the pt ever get their own diag-nonsense correct, cx pain usually means bullshit, so why drive like an ass?? So for those reasons YDI and FthedogsL

First, you suck at life because you referred to yourself as an "ambulance driver", i hate being called that seeing as we have a certification, so i hate when ppl refer to me as one let alone refer to myself as one. Second, since when does a patient get their own diag-nonsense right? So the whole speeding bcuz he was having cx pain bs means u FAIL. YDI. And its FthedogsL

YDI for hitting a dog. i mean, dogs are alive too, and you should look out for them no matter what the circumstances. would a vet hit a human on the way to see a dog having a heart attack? i dont think so. i know i sound like an a-hole, but whatever, its the truth.

Yeah, you really do, and no, it's not the truth. Butterflies are living things, too. Should the ambulance driver swerve to avoid them? What about ants? Cockroaches? Rats? I'm sure he didn't purposely hit the dog. Most likely, it was either dark and he didn't see it till it was too late, or the dog just suddenly ran out in front of him and there wasn't enough time to stop. I'm sure he doesn't try to make a habit of hitting dogs; he posted the FML because he feels guilty. But, we have to draw the line somewhere. Yes, humans take precedence over dogs. As I'm sure dogs and cats (for the vast majority of people) take precedence over other living things, such as rats, bees, or roaches. Don't try to vilify him for an accident that occurred while attempting to save this man's life.
