Today, on my way to work, I came across a road accident. I approached the victims and administered first aid, but when the paramedics arrived, they told the cops to take the "cosplayer" away. I'm the E.R. doctor of the nearby hospital. I later had to work with these S.O.B.s. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, as I was driving to work, I witnessed a kid apparently getting jumped. Being a good citizen, I got out and started yelling at them. I ended up alongside the kid in the hospital. FML
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 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, 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, I was riding in my friend's car. We passed by a group of cute guys standing by the curb with their skateboards so we slowed down to whistle at them. We then noticed the ambulance taking their friend away on a stretcher. FML
Today, I came out from the E.R. with an arm cast and stitches on my head, all because a cyclist ran me over on a pedestrian walkway and got away. FML
Today, I was working as a paramedic when my patient's colostomy bag exploded all over me. I was covered in fecal matter, with 5 hours left on my shift. FML
Today, at work as an EMT, I was telling a panicked patient that I would be taking her vital signs. I inadvertently said that I would be taking her vital organs. FML
Today, I fainted. Instead of stopping to help, some guy stopped to draw a penis on my forehead. The EMT laughed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Regardless of what they are wearing, help should always be appreciated. Marines are mandatory first responders. Imagine what we'd be wearing if we stopped to help someone else.

Wow did ya tell them the cosplayer is here to play doctor again and this isn't a ER but a cosplay Comic-Con 😎

No, more info is not needed. This person took time out of their day to stop and help and these people were ungrateful assholes. Obviously qualified to administer aid effectively until further help arrived, they were still assholes.

Actually it is better to not help. Civilians (which OP was at the time) can be sued for administering unwanted aid. Even if you're first aid certified, the best thing to do in the case of an emergency is just to make sure the area is clear and wait for the paramedics. The only exception being if people have life threatening injuries.

So much for running around dressed as Fluttershy! Society is not ready for a Brony.

"EMT, step aside." "PhD, and you're in MY way."

No the Doc is in the way, EMT’s are trained for the field. Doc’s are trained for the hospital. But their still dicks for the cosplay remark.

Read the text. The doc arrived before the paramedics.

yeah, hi, i DID read the text. OP should’ve told the paramedics when they got there that they are a doctor. was that not clear?

When you are cosplaying Doctor Who and you go "Hi, I'm a doctor", there can be some misunderstanding.

That's when you show them your Hospital ID and say well, I'll see you kids at the hospital where we REAL doctors work.

Wow, I would have filed a complaint. Even if you weren’t a doctor, that’s no way to talk to someone that was actually helping people who were in need of emergency aid. They need knocked off their high horse
