Best answer!

Yes i have.......I had an operation that involved drilling into my head to separate a nerve from a blood vessel which was causing significant pain. This particular nerve is located under the brain, so it was a major operation.The operation was a success, but after returning home 5 days later the wound started to leak brain fluid, so an ambulance was called and i was put back into hospital ,where a lumbar puncture was performed to access drainage and also intravenous anti biotics around the clock for 7 days.

Just once when i wore a younger mans clothes, i caught my hand in a snowblower(thank GOD for swade gloves) , i slipped on the ice and snow and my hand went right into blower paddles and stalled the machine out. It was a $480 lesson in which I'll never forget..

why?

commented 12 years ago

JDB

We were trying to get home he had a tire going flat. I was on a 3 wheeler he was on a 4 wheeler, I couldn't see him anymore so I stopped when I looked back he was right behind me still doing 50+ mph. both me and the 3 wheeler flipped over top of him, I went into a ditch rolling with the 3 wheeler he went bouncing down the road. It took about 1/2 hr for someone to come along and find us then bout another 1/2 hr to get the squad and every damn cop in the county out there it was 6AM Sunday morning... Cost me a month off of work

Not yet, although there were a couple of times it wouldn't have hurt (when I broke my fingers and had to drive myself to the doctor/hospital and when I got hit in the eye by a line drive softball during a game one night), I can think of several occasions where my kids and mom could have used one, but have been fortunate that personal transport was sufficient

Only once, but there was also a time where I was transported about 250 miles to another hospital in one. I didn't really care for either ride, but thankful they were available.

I don't know about "LEGEND" but, I went into the field because my FATHER died when, I was 16 because there wasn't an ambulance service then they used one of the funeral homes and they couldn't respond because they had a FUNERAL SERVICE so, instead of one they had two!!!

yes, a few times they saved my life and I am in awe of how compassionate and professional they are, it's also a really cool way to travel, much smoother ride than my 4wd, they also saved my ex husbands miserable existence, not quite as grateful for that
