Now THIS one is easy. By far the creepiest thing was this one chick Who was about 40 years old. We had her in our psych holding room. All of her testing came back negative for drugs or any other abnormalities but she was clearly off her rocker. The security guard assigned to watch her all the sudden collapsed. We rushed back there to help him and I happened to look into her room. The lights were off and she was standing up but backwards at an impossible angle. As soon as I looked in there she stood right up and the lights came back on. She said "who's next?" It was like something out of a horror movie

1) Never said I was better than anyone. 2) I never said I was a medic. 3) you're*

Hmm. That's a tough one. Not sure if this is the absolute weirdest thing but I've seen someone go into anaphylaxis because she was allergic to aspirin. The weird part is she didn't take any aspirin. Her boyfriend did just before they had sex and he ejaculated into her

She was transferred to a psych inpatient facility shortly afterward and unfortunately the security guard died in the cardiac Cath Lab from a massive heart attack. Haven't seen her since

Least favorite: drunk people that just want to be drunk but the police drag them into the emergency room to sober up. They usually get pissed off at us. Favorite: anything life threatening. I know it sounds morbid but emergency medical personnel do what we do because we love fixing people and "saving lives". Heart attacks, cardiac arrests, respiratory failure, massive wounds or trauma, and patients in SVT are all favorites for me
