Today, I responded to an emergency call for an intoxicated 83-year-old man with chest pains. As I leaned forward to check his lung sounds, he groped my chest and said, "Nice rack". I just wanted to see if he had difficulty breathing. I don't even get paid for this, I'm a volunteer for the town. FML

Today, I was taking a walk when I noticed an elderly man on the ground, unmoving. Being a registered nurse, I tried to give him CPR. As my lips touched his, he hacked a loogie and spat it into the back of my throat. I swallowed. FML

Today, while helping out at a retirement home, I had to get a book off a bookshelf. When I reached up, my watch got stuck on my shirt, resulting in my shirt lifting up. I just flashed my man-boobs to at least 20 senior citizens, and one of them even asked if he could have a feel. FML

Today, I helped an old man who fell over. Turns out he was drunk and had pissed himself. He decided to thank me with a hug. FML

Today, I saw an old homeless man who had just fallen down due to his drinking. Everyone laughed at him, but I felt bad, so I went to help him up. My reward? A quick punch in the face, landing me in the hospital. FML

Today, I was installing TVs in a hospital. When I knocked on a door, a female voice asked me to come in. I opened the door to see an 80 year old woman standing in front of me, naked. She then complained when I hesitated to help her to put some clothes on. FML

Today, I saw a man lying on the street. He seemed unconscious, so, being a nurse I went over and found he had choked. I removed the object from his throat and used CPR to revive him. My reward? A mouthful of vomit. FML

Today, I once again had to tell one of my elderly patients not to grope me. He responded by throwing his bedpan at me. It was full. FML

Adding insult to injury

Today, working on an ambulance, we had an elderly man who was obviously scared, so to get his mind off things I made small talk. When I went to ask if he was retired, it came out as, "so Steve, are you retarded?" My partner/supervisor across from me had tears running down her face from trying not to laugh. FML

Good news: you apparently have a nice rack. Bad news: people are creeps. Especially drunk people.

My sister and I run volunteer too. She has the same problem with one of our frequents. He tries to brag when he gets brushed by her, then when I tell him I'm her brother he straightens his act right up.

Good you defend your sis. But it's sad when men only respect women's space when a male figure in her life is present. woo patriarchy.

Maybe he wasn't getting enough oxygen into the brain; or he's just a creep. But hey, don't let that get you down, keep on volunteering, the world needs more people like you :)

It's sad to say, but most of us in the medical field will be sexually harassed or assaulted at least once.......pervs are impervious to others feelings.

I created an account just so I could comment. Just because you are a volley doesnt not mean you have to put up with that. That is assault, and is illegal. I would try to press charges if I were you. I am a paramedic, and that is not part of your job. Look at dt4ems.com, it is a good program.

Volunteer or not, that's still assault. In most states, assault against firefighters & EMTs is the same as assaulting an on duty cop, & is an immediate felony charge. File it as such. I would. It's the right thing to do, for all of us that do this job.
