WHAT? And deny the hospital a bit of potential revenue? How dare you??? :ROFLMAO:

I recall once as a an EMT taking a call where a young lady of mid twenties got her whole arm severed off near the shoulder for hanging it outside a car while it was "in motion" (50 mph highway). As it turns out, the accident happened right outside our Ambulance HQ building, and we were holding a drill of sorts so we had a ton of people there. I was duty crew that day. We did our best to treat the young lady's stump wound (almost up to the shoulder). But a bunch of us also went looking for the severed arm. And, miracle of miracles, we found it! We packed it in ice packs and we wanted to get her to our Level I trauma center by medivac unit. But the medics from the local hospital bitched about that because they wanted to treat her and take her to their local hospital for treatment (in the PRNJ, Paramedic units are managed by and originate from the Hospitals, not the Fire Depts) knowing they'd eventually have to send her to the trauma center. They wanted "their cut" out of the accident. We were firm.... Absolutely not! She needed a trauma center immediately and time counted if they wanted to get the arm re-attached. I drove her and her arm up to our local "LZ" where the medivac chopper landed and took her to the level I trauma center.

Six months later, we were having our monthly meeting when a "guest" crashed the meeting. It was that same young lady with the fully attached and functioning arm! TBH, I'm not sure how they were able to get all the nerves re-attached and functioning, but they did. And all because we got her to trauma center pronto, rather than having the delay of the local hospital medics trying to make money off the incident. 🤠
I would guess she had a successful viable replant, but no way could it be fully functionally successful Nerve recovery alone takes far longer.

Did y'all scratch a notch on the barrel of the maglite for each of the inmates that you ass-raped with 'em? Good times right there.
