Of Course these EMS stories are true. You just can’t make stuff like this up.

FAQ’s about The Corporal and EMS Stories.

Are your posts about The Corporal Fact? Fiction?
The answer is yes, they are FACT. You just can not make shit like this up. These are things that really happened to me, things I have observed, and things I have seen. I can vouch for their authenticity.

How did you remember the conversations?
I have a photographic memory for random crap and things that tickle my funnybone. Working as an EMT made a huge impression on me. It was the best job I ever had. The rewards were phenomenal. I made lifelong friends, learned many valuable lessons that I could apply to my life in general, I gained confidence, and I was able to make a difference in peoples lives. I also kept an old fashioned journal back then. You know, the books with blank pages that you write in?

How many ’stories’ have you blogged so far?
So far, there are 4 EMS posts. If you want to read them all, or if you missed one here they are. (Go ahead and click on the titles below. I am contemplating adding them to my sidebar as I go. The sidebar still needs pruning anyway.)

• Reflections of Dispatching OR: When stupid people are left alone at night with phones.
• AAAAANND they’re RAAAAAcing! OR: I’m working! I really am!
• EMS Standbys OR:Part II- CAN YOU SMELLLLLELLLEELLL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKING?
• 5150: The patient, the idiot at the gas station or myself?

What was your most memorable call? Have you mentioned it yet?
Yes, I have mentioned it. There are so many memorable calls, but ‘Madame Spittle’ always pops into my head first most of the time. (See 5150: The patient, the idiot at the gas station or myself?)

Are you going to post more ’stories’?
Of course. I’ve got 5 years worth of this stuff!

Is there anything I have left out? If there are any questions burning in your mind, throw them out there. I’ll be happy to answer them.
