1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve got a good one. I was a volunteer firefighter/EMT and we got a call for someone having a seizure. We got there, and a couple of overweight stoners in their 20s were smoking pot and playing video games in their parents basement. One guy got so high he kind of freaked out and thought he was having a seizure. Long story short, his blood pressure was high so we took him to the ER. We just joked around with him and acted real friendly and goofy and he started laughing and calmed down. I kept chuckling and telling him to just relax. He was fine.
