Several years ago i worked in an ICU in Florida. We were a single ICU for the whole hospital with 48 beds. So instead of having neuro, cardiac and surgical specialty units we took it all.
One shift we had a patient being flown in from some woohaa town outside on Ocala. The reports were sketchy so we waited till the flight team arrived to get the details.
Well, the team arrived and they were chomping at the bit to give report on this doozie.
The patient was a 28 year old obese female who lived in a mobile home with her boyfriend. The patient and the boyfriend were enjoying one another this fine evening and she was well..lets say she was performing a service for her boyfriend.
The boyfriend, enjoying the attention until the girl stops, looks up and her eyes roll back in her head and she collapses.
The boyfriend - keeping his head (slight pun intended) - goes for help. These are poor woodsie folk who do not have phoen or cell phone so boyfriend must leave the trailer to seek help. Boyfriend runs more than two miles to find a home with a phone so they can call rescue.
When rescue arrives the boyfriend gives them a blow by blow description of the events that led up to girlfriend laying on the floor covered in drool.
Myself and five other nurses are listening to this story whit looks of amazement. First, we wonder wht boyfriend did not just make up some story..
One coworker stated, "see blowjobs are hazarders to my health and that is what I am telling my husband". The women had much fun with this little story.
We got the patient settled and later the family along with boyfriend came in to visit and I believe every nurse, physician, secretary and housekeeper got a glimpse of boyfriend that evening and we al wondered if he told the girls parents exactly what was happening when girlfriend had her little incident.
Sadly, the girl did not make it. She had a huge bleed and life support was withdrawn a few days later.
