[QUOTE="Homicidal_Squirrel, post: 6288990, member: 6750031"] Heh... this reminds me of a story a nurse told me a few years ago. At that time I was applying to work as a dispatcher with the county fire department. They made all applicants get a physical, do a drug test, and some other stuff. Anyways, I go to the hospital the county contracted to perform these tests. There were a few other people doing tests for other positions. I was waiting for the restrooms to clear a space so I could go fill up a urine sample for the drug test and the nurse asked me what position I was applying for. We started talking and she told me that about a year before, while she was working, she got light headed and ended up falling. The doctor's on staff checked her out quickly and told her she needed to get to the emergency room. The emergency room was in the building next to the one she was at. Basically, all she had to do was cross a two lane street. She said she was going to just walk over there, but hospital policy (insurance reasons) required that they call fire rescue to check her out and transport her. One of the male nurses said he would volunteer to take her across on a wheelchair. The administrators said so and called fire rescue. They showed up, put her on a gurney, and put her on the rescue unit. The basically did a U-turn that was maybe 20 feet in total rave distance. They took her out, rolled her into the ER, and a few months later she got a bill. Fortunately most of it was covered, except for $500.00. [/QUOTE]
