How Massholes try to kill themselves
The Urban Paramedic recounts a roll-over smashup on Storrow Drive, involving a guy who stopped looking at the speedometer when it broke 100:
... "I'll get the immobilization stuff," I said to my partner. Anybody going that fast must be presumed injured until x-rays and a CT scan prove otherwise.
Soon we had him strapped to the board in the back of the ambulance. Incredibly, he didn't have a scratch on his face. "He's bleeding from someplace," one of the EMTs said. "There's blood on his pants."
The man was cooperative but extremely hyperactive. He kept trying to sit up. As I gently pulled him back down, I saw blood on his hand. Turning it over, I saw a series of parallel slice marks on his wrist. His other wrist had similar cuts.
"Did you cut your wrists on purpose?" I asked.
"Why, yes," he said, smiling the way some people do when they're drunk. ...

not necessarily Storrow Drive
As noted in one of the comments in the Urban Paramedic's blog: this incident didn't necessarily happen on Storrow Drive. He changes details such as locations and names to protect the privacy of those involved.
he makes everything up
please, enough already.
"Why, yes"? Who's talked
"Why, yes"? Who's talked like that in the last 50 years?
Drunks
Drunks who can afford sports cars, that's who
since the urban paramedic
since the urban paramedic removed my post from his site i will post here.i know the person in this accident and don't like seeingit here.
sounds like a pile of bs to me.a friend of my famliy was injured in an accident that sounds exactly like the one you wrote about.without giving the whole world all the details, his injuries jibe with what you wrote.we all thought the story he is telling his family was rather strange.then i log on and see your version and everything clicked.you should have more respect for your patients privacy.i also did not like the way you said you laughed at him while you were treating
him.is that your normal bedside manner? who do you write this stuff for? is it to make you feel smart? do your job and leave the writing to writers.
Your friend
Is a fucking idiot. He cost a lot of people a lot of money and time, and almost killed people in his idiocy. Nobody should have any pity for him. Privacy is sufficiently protected here, because none of us knows the name of your friend the idiot.
Accident? Rolling your car at 100 MPH on Storrow is an accident? Bullshit. It's a crime. Your friend should recover from his self-indulgent drama in jail.
didn't you read it?
he wasn't on storrow drive, and he wasn't going 100 MPH.its just a version of a story that the urban paramedic has written to show us what he does.i don't really care if no one wants to believe that i know who this person is, because i do.whether you think he is an idiot is not the point.how would you feel if you logged on one day to read about your cousin overdosing on heroin? then how would you feel to here that the one person coming to help is going to roll his eyes at the situation? i just don't like it. it's my opinion.
Did anyone notice
That this person uses punctuation and language just like Bostnkid?
Just sayin.
You are the one giving more details
You don't have "privacy" when you do something this dangerous and stupid and the courts have to get involved (and they will, given that DUI is a crime ... not an accident!). The real details, linked to his name, will make it into the court record.
