Surviving the Absurd: My Accident Story with an EMT from Hell
Hey there, Earnest Mann here! Today, I'm sharing a personal story that will have you shaking your head and possibly laughing. Imagine you're in a car accident—flipped on your side, still dazed—only to be met by a screeching EMT asking, "Are you okay?" This isn’t just about my brush with fate; it’s about dealing with ridiculousness when you least expect it.
The Bizarre Accident and the EMT with No Tact
I recount a crazy incident from 2006 when a drunk driver T-boned my car, flipping it onto its side. As I lay there, bruised and confused, an EMT arrived with the most absurd, tone-deaf question. Instead of providing reassurance or assessing my injuries, she shrieked down to me, echoing the last thing anyone in my situation needed to hear.
What EMTs Should Say vs. What Actually Happened
I break down how a professional response could have helped, contrasting what I heard with what might have been appropriate. From this experience, I emphasize that a calm, reassuring voice and practical questions are vital in trauma care. Reflecting on this, I ask listeners if they would find humor in my situation—or share my disbelief at the incompetence.
Appreciating the Real Heroes in Emergency Care
In closing, I make it clear that my frustration was directed at one individual, not EMTs or paramedics as a whole. These professionals work tirelessly in challenging situations, saving lives every day, and I’m grateful for their commitment. It’s just that, sometimes, one person can make a strange situation even stranger.

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it, as a professor of tautology.
With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price, or believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I know with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are always due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.
This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell really needs to be said, so do the right thing, leave your thoughts, for me and others to possibly learn from, and subscribe, and tell everyone else in the world you know about me, and you'll stand a really good chance, of me remembering you, in my will!
I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.
Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.
Please consider, that by visiting my website and/or donating to this show, you're supporting an actual person, not some mega corporation, that wouldn't know human compassion if it hit them over the head!
I look forward to hearing from you, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and batshit crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!
