Thank you very much for an excellent post- pics and story. Be careful!
I bet the poor guy freaked out when he saw his shit, I know I would have. I bet he was putting two and two together, thinking how he was gonna sue the 'shit' out of whomever did the butt probe. Poor man, RIP.

Hope this isn't an insensitive request, but it would actually great if you were to post more personal EMT pics on here. Do you have a stash, or something? A collection of photos, an album? Can you post some from the next crime/death scene if possible?

I actually don't have a stash. I very rarely get a chance to take photos and even more rarely do I get to take photos of bodies. Believe me, if I could I would. This is the first time I've ever managed it.

That said, not all of them are interesting. I've had two fatal crashes and obviously there are waaay too many people around to get pictures of those, but most expirations are simply dead elderly people in bed. That said, I'll do what I can."

Nice post, but maybe should have put something over the eyes to protect privacy of victim?
Ditto.
This should be noted for future reference in case any EMTs from first-world countries feel like posting pics on sites like these. We value privacy, countries like the US & the UK. The least you could do is put a tape over the eyes and leave the rest in plain view.

Ok, I thought about it. But first of all, most of the time you guys prefer uncensored pictures. Secondly, merely posting the pictures would be a HIPAA violation in the US *I think*, so it really doesn't change anything. Third, this site is both private and fairly small, so I don't think anyone is going to look at him and know who he is. So I basically decided just to leave it as is.

Maybe you should make a thread and tell us all your stories, I like your writing style. Would definitely be an interesting read.

Thank you! I actually did write up the two fatal crashes I've had so far. Ironically, most people thought I was bullshitting.

But, again, not everything is interesting. I *have* had a few very interesting calls but most of the time, we run BS "emergencies" because our healthcare system is fucked.

Great post! And yes these sort of internal hemorrhage is the most dangerous because unlike external ones, you generally dont know something is going seriously wrong inside you.

You might feel sick, weak, dizzy, cold with a rising heartrate and often doctors might misinterpret these signs for something else altogether

I've had several similar GI bleeds. With the first one I wasn't even sure what was happening. I had quickly started feeling ill in the middle of the night & was camped out on the toilet shitting & feeling miserable. I suddenly had large amounts of black, tarry liquid shit coming out of my ass & simultaneously had explosive projectile vomiting of blood & quickly passed out & fell onto the floor. I somehow made it back to my bed after waking up & called my brother to let him know what was going on. Trying to be a tough guy, I decided to see if I could ride it out. I called my brother-in-law & had him drop some Gatorade off. I'm not sure how long I lasted but it was at least into the evening & possibly into the next day when I realized it wasn't going away & my condition was getting increasingly worse over time with continued blood loss. I refused my brother's idea of calling an ambulance & when he made it over to take me to the hospital he said that I looked like a corpse from blood loss. I had to stay in the hospital for at least a couple of days.
This happened to me probably about 6 times with a similar pattern of my hardheaded ass trying to ride it out & finally having to give in & get someone to take me to the hospital. One time I had tried to get a shower before going & my brother had to drag me out of the tub because I had to lie down & couldn't get up. I'm definitely lucky to be alive & it "only" took me 6 times to finally learn my lesson.
