"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

Found this on an emergency services humour page. Made me smile.
Our Rules...😘 🚑🚑🚑
1. People die, that's the circle of life
2. You can't always prevent number one no matter what you do
3. Blue is bad, so is purple.
4. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation of this is not good.
5. If you drop the baby, pick it up!
6. Remember when dealing with patients, families and the boss; if it felt good saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.
7. All bleeding stops....Eventually!!
8. Generally, it’s a BAD thing to use the term OH F**K in reference to the patient’s condition!!
9. Anyone on the scene drunker then the patient is the REAL problem.
10. All patients have a full stomach so be prepared.
11. A patient’s weight is directly proportional to the the flat they live in.
12. If you respond to a car accident after midnight and do not find someone drunk, keep looking, you are missing a patient.
13. The dead seldom get better; on the other hand, they never get worse.
14. Patients do not read the text books but they do watch the TV documentaries.
15. An unconscious patient is a co-operative patient.
16. Most of your patients will be healthier then you are.
17. If, during your journey, your driver yells HOLY ! do not look out of the front window... or the back
18. If it’s stupid but it works, it’s not stupid.
19. Approximately 60% of people who get punched in the face deserve it!!!
20. Training is learning the rules: experience is learning the exceptions.
21.Patients who fall or get injured outside will always move inside to the top floor bedroom before calling you because they can no longer walk.
22. To figure out the true amount of drinks a drunk has had, take the number they say and multiply it by 2 and add 3.
23. In apartments your patient will always be at the last room at the end of the hallway.
24. Common sense...is NOT common.
25. Think of your shift as a game. Survivor, the 12 hour version.
26. There are only 3 kinds of patients; 1) Ill 2)Injured 3) Ignorant...3 usually leads to 1 or 2
We had something similar when I was in the military.
Only ours didn't much go past five rules to remember!!
Our lives were a bit more simple, especially when on ops!!2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey (UK)

There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don’t.
