  • Why woman shouldn't drive trucks

    So yesterday, Im on my way home from work...Crusin down deerfoot, at about calfrobe traffic slows down cause of the f**kin construction..I slow down..the caviler behind me slows down..the truck behind him doesnt. I was watchin in my rear view because a lady in a silver ram was comin in way, way too fast in the middle lane (I was in the fast) and I thought she was gonna rear end the person in the lane next to me..Quick judgment told her to swerve into the fast lane so she smoked the caviler behind me at about 70-80 while we were going 20-25..His rear tires actually lifted off the ground, smashed his trunk into his backseat, rear windshield came off and hit him in the head and he got hit had enough that he tapped me..Luckily for me, the cav hit the brakes really hard and only tapped me at about 10km id say, maybe less...no visible damage, Ill clean the car in a couple hours and let cha know..the ram was undrivable after the accident, she f**ked it right up haha, rad was gone, she something pushed back on the engine block and was makin a sick noise so she gets out all freakin out cause the dude in the cav was in pain...Im tryin to keep this guy sittin down with his neck back and **** cause he was messed up, he couldnt talk straight, shock I suppose..Anyways, Im tryin to help out buddy, called his parents, the cops while this lady in the ram crys in the truck about how shes never been in an accident, calls her sister and her husband..the real kicker was her car was still on, smokin all over the map..I had told her like 3 times to shut it off but she wasnt listenin, so I walked over, opened her door and chucked her keys in the back seat..Cops show up and throw buddy on a stretcher and after another 30 minutes of sitting on the calf robe bridge in rush hour traffice (accident happened at about 4:20) and I was on my way with a damage sticker.

    Coulda been alot worse, but moral of the story is: If you can't drive, dont buy a 7000lb vechicle.

      Or just make a law saying you have to pass an IQ test to drive a truck that weights 7000lbs. Good thing you weren't the cav there j-rock!

        That sucks. It's a good thing damage didn't end up worse for your car
        Unfortunately, the reality is that most trucks and SUV's seem to be driven by soccer moms who couldn't drive a normal sized vehicle properly, let alone a big one. It's also a shame that stories like this are so frequent in Calgary. I think people here just expect to NOT stop on Deerfoot. Here in L.A., 7 lanes of 80mph traffic can come to a grinding halt at any time, yet you never seem to see or hear of people rear ending each other. Hopefully as Calgary grows, peoples driving skills will evolve as well

            Not being picky, but EMS gets no respect.....newspapers write "firefighters took the patient to hospital", and cops do not put people on stretchers........Thats like saying the school janitor is respnsible for the schools winning grade......

              Yeah, well actually it was firefighters who put him on the stretcher..There were EMS on scene but they were mostly standing around until they had to move the stretcher..2 guys got off the fire truck with a bag that had a neck brace and and such, the 2 firefighters got the dude out of the car and put him on that plastic dealy then EMS taped him up and he was on his way.

                whatever...firefighters won't be the one saving your ass in an emergency.... ...and we're not called not EMS, we're called Paramedics, we work IN EMS.....FF's won't be the ones bringing back a cardiac arrest, or providing surgical airways on choking children, etc......Their job is to clean up fluids, and yes remove patients from vehicles, so we can provide the actual MEDICAL care.....F*** you guys piss me off

                      hahaha 2 of my buddies are paramedics actually, one of them just finished school and is in butt f**k nowhere sask.

                      Don't get me wrong, paramedics save lives for sure, and I wouldnt thank ya for the stress of that job, but Im just saying in THIS case, the firefighters first aid training was all that was necessary..No need to get all sassy

                        Re: Why woman shouldn't drive trucks

                        Ok, but what we do on scene, and in the back of the ambulance are 2 different things. People have a misconception that we just put them in the box in the back and drive....this is very not true, we are an emergency department on wheels. What you don't see going on behind the scenes is as follows:
                        Intervenous access established (advanced skill)
                        Possible pain control via narcotics (advanced skill)
                        LATE EDIT: got called out....

                        Advanced airway control
                        etc....

                        We don't do our work in the public eye for privacy reasons etc....so I understand if people have a simplistic view of EMS and the system, but there is so much more to it....I'm just PO'd because it seems EMS always gets the short end, and is misunderstood. Mostly our fault due to lack of true public education (our PEO should be taking care of this)....Anyhow, all is good, just respect the profession...

                            I will say that the cops & firefighters are a bunch of glory hounds. Yes the do very important things, and I would not want to be in their role, but paramedics get the shaft when it comes to attention in the media etc. It seems from where I sit that the medics get less credit than they deserve.

                              Thank you....They receive most credit because they have people who stick around after the fact and talk to the media.....we are always gone to the hospital.....Anyhow, I'm done with this, sorry to have been an ass, and no I don't hate you people, just educating you....
