Humans never cease to amaze me (an not usually in a good way). When you think you have reached the depth of stupidity that is possible, there they go sinking to the challenge and making even more stupid ways to be, well ...... stupid!
The ER was radioing they needed a ring cutter. We were busy w/ a overdose (nearly od'ed to death, had to narcan him) so an extra medic took our ring cutter to the er. By the time we got our pt stable enough to take to the er, they were asking for pliers and other tools. Turns out they weren't trying to cut a ring, but a metal band, and it wasn't on this guy's finger. Now you would think the most stupid thing this guy could do is put a metal band w/o any release mechanism on any body part right????? Well see there you go making my same mistake of underestimating stupidity. .................................................. ........ It had been in place for .................................................. ............................. 3 days before he decided to go to the er. They did eventually get it off (the metal band) but it took full sized bolt cutters.
