Today, I had a ride along in an ambulance. Being observant, I thought it was funny that a patient had to vomit. That was until I realized they couldn't control where they had to vomit. I spent the rest of the ambulance ride holding a vomit bag in front of the woman's face. Not so funny anymore. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, working as an EMT on an ambulance, we had a patient who refused to accept that he had a massive GI bleed, despite the fact that bloody stool was flowing from his anus all over my ambulance. To make things worse, my EMT ride-along student puked all over the patient. FML
Today, we had a patient projectile vomiting in our ambulance. I didn't know she had puked on our cot until I found it with my bare hand at the hospital. FML
Today, I was volunteering at the hospital. This lady was calling the Nurses' Station, and I had to go see what she wanted. When I asked her what she needed, she mumbled something. As I leaned in closer to hear what she was saying, she threw up all over my face. Apparently, she was nauseous. FML
Today, I was helping this girl to the nurse’s office because she was so sick that she could barely walk. About halfway there, she stopped and vomited on me. My jaw was dropped in shock when she threw up on me again. A little went into my mouth. FML
Today, I was discharged from hospital and I took a cab home. The driver drove really fast and made sharp turns that made me feel nauseous. As I opened my mouth to tell him to slow down, I threw up all over the back seat. FML
Today, I drove a friend to the emergency room because he thought he had appendicitis. While sitting in the waiting room, I got puked on by a child. My friend's diagnosis? Gas. So he also farted all the way home. FML
Today, I held a container while a patient tried to throw up in it. She missed. FML
Today, while working at the hospital, I had a patient with a blocked bowel. It was so bad, feces were entering into her stomach. While leaning down to talk with her, she threw up. I was both vomited and defecated on at the same time. FML
Today, after changing and dressing my 6-month-old into his super cute brand new outfit, I saw the telltale sign of him about to vomit. Without thinking, I cup my hand under his mouth and catch it all. I had to sit there with a hand full of puke and nowhere to dump it. FML
Today, my friend made me go on a carnival ride. The whole time, I complained that I was going to puke. I didn't, though. She did, all over me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Welcome to the glorious world of EMS. Escorting people to their final destination. Seeing the impact of a life of poor decisions, a moment of bad judgement or a senseless random occurrence. You will see people at their absolute worst moments,Once in a while at their best, but mostly you will just mop up. have fun where you can. Put money away for retirement religiously, or else...

Oh, and about the puke, I'm glad it got on you.

If you found humour in that situation, you would've deserved to be vomited on, instead of just having to hold a bag. Being sick and scared in an ambulance is a situation that calls for care and comfort, not ridicule, and I'm not sure I think you should've been in that ambulance if you think otherwise.

You are one sick mofo, funny? How is someone being taken away to ER funny? I hope you get fired tomorrow...

You are an embarrassment to EMTs who take their jobs, (helping people) seriously. Shame on you. (From a 14 year EMT 1A)

Its also not haha funny. Just positing that perhaps there was another meaning.

You, my friend, need to hibernate until you get some morals or humanity about you. Wise up.

What the **** is wrong with you?

I find it interesting how OP states that they found it funny because they were observant. What does being observant have to do with it? Also, OP you're a douche. Too bad that poor lady didn't throw up all over you.
