Did You Ever Save A Life

[canexplain]

ok, for easter. have you ever saved a life of someone or i guess an animal? i was up in utah where you go and do extreme bike things , at a patch of slick rock they call it, there are pools of water that dry out when the sun comes up, but during the night it rains, and little pools of water happen .. well for some stange reason, fish happen just like that, well we were walking up there and there was one of those pools and we took the baby fish that would have died in the next few hours to a stream and set them free ... that is not really what i am talking about , but that is the closest i have come to saving a life ... i really want to do that before i die .. ok sort of a morbid thread, but positive is what i want to convey .............. cr****

[SojuGorae]

No, but I've took one

[canexplain]

No, but I've took one

i was always worried that when i was in the nam war i might have to do that, i was glad i didnt... cr***

I rescued a kitten that was just hanging out in a wal-mart parking lot. It was a scrappy little thing...probably could've survived on its own, but I like to think I saved its life.

He became my pet, but unfortunately I had to put him to sleep three years later because he had cancer. So I guess I also took his life.:(

[Mr.Nipples]

i never had the chance to really save a life but i watched a guy step in front of a train...that was really fucked...

[SojuGorae]

That's fucked up

[rampaige]

i never had the chance to really save a life but i watched a guy step in front of a train...that was really fucked...

Whoa, that would be fucked up. I drove by the immediate aftermath of a car wreck one time, and there were two bodies laid out on the side of the road covered up in sheets. No blood or gore or anything, but that image still haunts me.

That's why I make it a habit of never slowing down to see car wrecks. Just might see something that I don't want popping up in my head afterwards.

no that counts for sure, you tried and the kitten had a short life tnxs to you ... i hate that this thread is sort of a downer, but it has always bugged me that i havent done "my part" as it were .. cr***

tech support?

[suprefan]

Hahahaha, tech support!! Yes I do tech support and I live in America!!! You get paid more if you are a fireman trained on how to use the Jaws of Life. If you actually mess up when using it, you can kill yourself and the person you are trying to save.


But yes I work in the medical field, how else can I afford to go to shows? Gotta have a day job so you can have a night life right?

[summerkid]

In high school i used to park near the classes that teach teenage moms how to take care of their kids and this one girl wasn't paying any attention to her two year old and he ran into the street and the car didn't seem to see him at all so i ran into the street and grabbed him right before he ran in front of the car. The girl didn't even realize what just happened I was so pissed at her.

[miscorrections]

no seriously, what do you specifically do?

[thelastgreatman]

I've brought people down from psychotic episodes a bunch of times although that's not life threatening. Girlfriend slit her wrists, but she probably wouldn't have died anyway, bitch couldn't even do that right (yes, I know it was probably more for show than a real attempt, before anyone suggests it), one coke seizure where we were incredibly lucky to have a nurse who'd just got off duty on hand but I had to hold the guy still while she shot him up with some shit and then we decided to just drive to the hospital to avoid certain legal problems. He'd calmed down a lot from whatever she shot him with but he would still have little seizures every once in a while and I ended up just kinda holding him still because it was fucking creepy. Had to call 911 for a friend of mine who'd shot 9 or 10 bags of smack in two back-to-back doses without testing the shit first and had to run back and forth between checking on him and going out his back door to check for ambulance constantly so that I could break out as soon as the ambulance had shown up (again, cops come with where we lived). Can't think of any more at the moment. Oh, actually I did keep someone from getting shot in the face once. Truth.

[fasttrack]

when my nephew was a baby, he was choking on a dime. i used what i had learned in school a week before to get the dime out.

[suprefan]

I'm not telling, but I make enough to pay the bills and do whatever I want.

Seriously man--fuck 'em. Either handle your shit or make sure you call 911 as I'm out the goddamn door. All these bubblegummers need to get real and learn how to have a maintenance habit instead of always chasing.

[Alchemy]

One time I was driving on the interstate, and there is a section where all these bridges cross over the interstate with other highways and ramps and what not. Well, some guy jumped from the very top bridge on to the interstate. I drove by during the aftermath, but he was down there with a blanket over him. It's a miracle that a car did not hit him.

That guy is fucked up... That was the second time it has happened in about 2 years. I drove by the other one long after the aftermath when there was just some emergency vehicals doing their reports and investigations.

jesus, i guess i've always taken my friends and their well-adjustedness for granted. they never have episodes.

[Mr.Nipples]

didn't go to marine world that day...

Well, it also helps to not be hanging out in a circle of heroin addicts. But it's always the one asshole that decides to start using pins instead of just snorting that fucks everything up. Soon enough you're the only one not stupid enough to go to the needle and ERs start to become a hot spot, and you bury a couple friends for different reasons and the asshole who started everyone shooting is still walking around... argh.

red lifesavers > pineapple livesavers. And where is Pineapple Pete to barge in on the defense of his flavor?


uh...maybe.

You think? You either know or you dont. And I'm not a doctor, but I obviously have medical knowledge, enough to save a life. Did you need somebody to practice all your anatomy knowledge on? ;)

[miscorrections]

You think? You either know or you dont.

put it this way: i'm taking all the required classes. and i'm going to take the mcats and apply. but whether i'll get accepted is a whole other story, and one i wouldn't care to bet on. (my major is muy hard, and has kind of screwed my gpa.)

but, uh, yeah: you up for teaching a practical anatomy lesson?

[suprefan]

Well I guess "class" can be scheduled between April 26th and April 30th now cant it?

[miscorrections]

you're on. i'll be sure to bring a videocamera to take notes.

[Courtney]

I took an ODing friend to the ER when I was in college. But who hasn't? He likes to say that I saved his life, but I think that's probably a little dramatic.

miscorrections, pre-med is hard. I admire anyone who gets through o-chem with gpa intact.

And please take any additional lascivious content to PMs.

[suprefan]

Nothing beats an "instructional" anatomy video right?

[MonsoonSeason]

once I told a girl that she could move into my house so that she would avoid suicide. the rest of roommates instantly vetoed her moving in after I told them about her, but she didn't commit suicide. does this count or is this just like 1/2 a save?

[miscorrections]

like a 1/4 save. if you're hanging in the balance it might keep you from going to hell.

[gaypalmsprings]

I voted Democratic. Hopefully that will save lives in Iraq.

Many years ago, i was on tour, helping out a friends band. We got invited to a party after one of the gigs. The drummers brother was quite drunk and walked straight off a ledge. I managed to grab his legs as he toppled over. Possibly didn't save his life, but he would have been a mess, as it was at least a 20 foot drop.

[bmack86]

My friend found out that his mom was moving out and divorcing his dad, and he went on a serious drinking binge that night. I was over at his house with some friends, consoling him, and soon found myself the only sober one. Everyone passed out except myself and my depressed friend. In a moment of impressing agility, he sprinted into his bedroom, and when I got in there, I found him with a gun held to his head. For the next six hours, I talked him down from that state, and then the next morning got his EMT brother there to watch over him before I went with my family to cut a christmas tree.

...one coke seizure where we were incredibly lucky to have a nurse who'd just got off duty on hand but I had to hold the guy still while she shot him up with some shit and then we decided to just drive to the hospital to avoid certain legal problems.

i was under the impression that you weren't supposed to restrain some one having a seizure?

I was taking shots of Moonshine one night early last year with my girlfriend and her two friends. We had White Lightnin' as well as a Mason Jar full of cherries soaked in shine. We decided to pour a shot of the white, and drop in a cherry to add a little panache. Well, it seemed obvious that in order to take the shot properly, you would shoot the drink, hold the cherry between teeth and gums while you swallow the liquid, and then chew the cherry. As it turns out, this wasn't so obvious for one of my girlfriend's friends, as she tried to swallow the entire shot whole. She proceeded to choke on the unchewed cherry. I asked her simply, "are you choking?" By her lack of verbal response, I assess that she is in fact choking. I look around the room to see if anyone else is going to step up to the plate to save this girl's life and see them resembling deer on a late night highway so I reach around, make the fist, place it under her sternum, and manuever away. The first two pulls didn't do clear her windpipe, so on the third one I applied more force and lo and behold the crimson culprit flies out of her mouth and splats on the kitchen linoleum. Not bad for a first try.

Not suprisingly, that established me as this girl's number one on her MySpace.

[comiddle]

I delivered a crack baby once... does that count? It wasn't breathing when she popped that sucka out, so I worked the magic (just with the rubbing of the back, no way am I getting rancid amniotic fluid from a crack whore on my lips).

Took care of a guy who pulled an Elliott Smith... just until EMS came in and stole my thunder with their magic tools and shit. That was nasty though. He was standing there yelling at us, then he pulled out a knife, screamed "I don't care!" and stabbed himself, stood there for a minute, pulled the knife out, a blood spurt, and stabbed again, then promptly passed out. Weird shit man.

[TomAz]

I once found a spider and instead of squishing it like i usually do, i caught it and put it outside.

[thelastgreatman]

i was under the impression that you weren't supposed to restrain some one having a seizure?

At first I was just doing it so that she could get at his vein, but after that it was just fucking creeping me out. He kept smacking me and shit in the back of the car, so I was like, "Arms down!"

[smilingdownward]

I do it everyday, anyone care to take a guess as to where I would work if that happens?

thats me too.
just about every day i work i save a life.
helped save one last night......wasnt too exciting.

I was in a cab with a few friends on our way home from a party. We were heading down the expressway, when I spotted a van flipped over just past the offramp. I made the cab driver pull over. The van was on its side. I sprinted over to the van and hopped on top and saw a guy passed out in the driver seat. I crawled in through the passenger window, turned the ignition off, undid his seat belt and with the help of two of my friends, pulled this guy out of the van. This was a big dude. After a little bit, he regained consciousness and we went back to the cab. The cabbie was stunned that mere moments before, my friends and I were just these drunk babbling retards and the next moment, we are saving some dude.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

well at least you got proper admiration

I wonder if when that girl thinks of cherries she gets concerned. maybe she'll grow up to be a mom that doesn't allow kids to have cherries in the house. when I was 4 I shoved a peanut m&m up my nose and my mom didn't let me have them again until I was 17. of course I snuck them behind her back, what she doesn't know won't hurt her

amirite?
