More tales from my medical days...
This particular call for the EMT's came about because a lady had seen a snake in her kitchen. She called her husband to come in and kill it.
The snake got away, but all the exertion of chasing the snake gave the man severe chest pains.
His wife then called the EMS and they rushed to the house to pick up the man and take him to the hospital.
This fellow was a large man who weighed in excess of two-hundred seventy pounds.
It was a hot summer day in south Georgia and the EMT's were wearing shorts.
When Paramedics got there, the lady explained what had happened, and that the snake was still loose somewhere in the house.
As the EMT's were struggling to get the man down the front stairs of the house, the family dog came up behind one of the EMT's and touched his cold nose to the back of the EMT's leg.
Being so scared that it might have been the snake, the EMT lost his grip on the stretcher, the stretcher fell over, and the man fell off, breaking his arm in the process.
As the stretcher tipped over, man and all the EMT who was at the front of the stretcher, got his leg caught between the man, the stretcher, and a step, and broke his leg as well.
Everyone survived the incident and the original patient was not having a heart attack, but now there were two patients with broken limbs. All because of a dog with a cold nose.
