What is the sickest thing you've seen?

[prowlassignment]

Officers responded to my highschool when I was enrolled in it.

one of the students there had just had surgery on his testicles because of cancer.

He had finally returned to school and was wearing shorts and walking with a cane.

some idiot girl heard about his surgery and thought screwing with him would be funny.

she went up to the poor kid and kicked him as hard as she could in his testicles. you can only guess what happened next....

The poor kids wound opened back up and his remaining testicle fell out of the sack and dropped down through his shorts onto the ground, still attached to his body by the cord. The kid immediately threw up and then passed out.

Idiot girl was immediately arrested and faced criminal and civil penalties.

haha I don't even know what I would have done to that girl when I got out of the hospital again:mad:

Mine would have to be a suicide with a .357 when I was running with our ambulance many years ago.

My brother was in the British Army when they took Basra. After the city was 'taken' his group manned a roadblock at the end of a bridge.

A car approached him and did not stop when ordered to. As it accelerated him and his buddy finally opened up and stopped it. It was a family - father, mother and young kids - who were too scared to stop for an 'enemy' roadblock in a war zone. No survivors.

He still has nightmares from that - Doesn't matter that his actions were 'justified' and within the 'Rules Of Engagement'. He was involved in many firefights, but this was the only one where he thought he did wrong, and he can't get past that.

A guy decided to commit suicide by 18 wheeler. He walked on a bridge over I-30 looking for a big vehicle, when he saw the rig, he timed it and jumped over the railing and was crushed by the grill of the 18 wheeler and slammed into the street.

Lots of people started calling 911 and yelling that we needed to hurry up and get there because the guy was throwing up blood. I don't know if some of those people actually thought that was an actual 'accident' or if they knew what his intensions were.

I couldn't read all of these, short on time. I've got 2 for you. The first day of coaching on my job, we had a 10-18 (dead guy). We walked into the house and you could SMELL it! He had died 3 days before but had a roast in the oven. I've since been on smelly ones but this one sticks out in my mind because when I got home my wife had beef teriyaki for dinner, I got up and puked. First and last time.
My wife did a ride along with me, we had an accident on the expressway. She got out of the car to see what was going on and realized someone who used to be 5 ft tall was now 7 ft tall and had no head. She puked all over our accident scene. I told her to stay in the car for the rest of the night.

After he was ejected from the car he was run over and stretched and decapitated.

We had a double shooting in our precinct last Thursday night. The shooters fired rounds at a two door sedan that was driving through one of the city housing areas. The driver caught a round in the left leg, but the passenger jumped out of the vehicle and when she looked over where the rounds were coming from she caught one in the neck and one in the head just above her right eye. She hit the ground immediately, and the driver started driving off, not knowing that the passenger was caught on the car door.

I was third on scene and was trying to calm the driver down and get her information, all while watching the other girl literally bleed out, and knowing I could do nothing for her. There was so much blood that it looked like someone took a giant mop soaked with blood and drug it down the street about 20 yards. There was a good bit of brain matter on the road where she caught the round. And that blood smell....you couldn't get away from it.

At one point, while waiting for Crime Scene to show up, we saw a feral cat walk up and tote away some of the brain matter in it's mouth.

Did you arrest it for tampering with the evidence?

Fatal road crash where a girl in a Daihatsu (small hatch back) went head on into a Nissan Patrol 4WD. Daihatsu driver was torn to shreds. I remember walking along later with the Crash Investigator and stopping him just before he stepped on some brain. Had to laugh when he tells me how his wife hates it when he gets home with brains and stuff stuck to his shoes.

Jet ski head on. One guy did a 180 spin in front of his mate who in turn rode straight up the front of the first guys ski and WHAM... first guy stops the second guys jet ski with his chest. Dead before he hit the water (at least water accidents, when they are fresh, are somewhat cleaner).

My first death (about two weeks out from training) was a drug overdose. Just died. Firstly we go in his room and he has been using a bucket to go to the toilet in. Paramedic stepped in it while we were trying to move the dead guy outside to get some room to work on him. The bucket flipped it's contents up the leg of the ambo. GROSS!

Then the ambos ask if I can help with some chest compressions. I start and when they hook up the monitor it starts beeping! His heart is going! I have saved him! I thought I had done a great job and earnt the respect of these ambos in my frst two weeks and they didn't even realise I was a rookie. Then they start laughing and say, "just kidding rookie he's dead." it was just my compressions making his heart beat but I did get excited for a minute there. :p

Rollover accident. Vehicle was run off of the road by a DUI who of course did not realize it. Mother and her 5 year old son, neither wearing seatblets. Mother got her back broke and the child bounce around the passenger compartment. EMS was 10-15 minutes out when I arrived on scene. I got to hold the child and look into his eyes so that the mother could touch him while he died.

Not the most gruesome incident but the one that still wakes me up at night.

[Drummadude]

That's terrible, you held a little boy as he died? It's too bad at times like that, there's usually not enough time to save them.

Until 2005, when my brother's former girlfriend was killed in a car crash, where even though the car she was riding in was half way in a parking lot, she took her seatbelt off. She was hit by a drunk illegal Mexican, and without a seatbelt, killed.
From that day on I always wear a seatbelt and get really serious when friends of mine refuse to wear them. I wait now until the car is parked in my garage or a parking lot before I take the seatbelt off. I don't want to take chances anymore. It's too risky. Life's too fragile.

Some of these made me remember on call. The state police had called our fire department out to assist with a body that they had found. The women had been shot and killed by an abandoned strip mine. The coroner was still removing what was left of the body. Lets just say it was mid august in PA and she had been there for a while. When we got there, the police had vick vapor rub for our nose. I had no idea being as this was my first retrieval. I soon found out and even with vicks, it doesn't cover the smell. We were there basically to assist walking the roads from where she was found looking for anything unusual. Ended up she was from the city working the streets and someone brought her 30 miles north to my area and shot her. They never did catch him I believe.

So I guess the smell of ripe dead person has to be the sickest thing in my book

I had a guy who sat under a porch, placed the barrel of a Thomspon Contender with .30 cal in his mouth and crossed the great divide.

The top half of his cranium sheared off along the lateral line of a baseball cap he had been wearing. The top of his head shattered and there was high velocity spatter of blood, brains, hair, etc., all over the bottom of the patio ceiling.

What was really neat, was that the thick band of the baseball cap had ripped loose in the fabric area, and the plastic adjustment band at the rear was intact.

I thought this was cool and asked the ID Tech to get a close up photo to show the power of the kinetic energy to rip through the thick fabric.

As the ID Tech was ducking down to get a close-up, a large piece of brain succumbed to gravity and fell from the patio onto the back of her neck.

The look I got from her was sicker than the scene. Yep, that look was the sickest thing I have seen. :D
