This Paramedic Is Sharing A Crazy Story About A Guy Who Would Get A Ride In The Ambulance Every Week Just So He Could Really Walk From The Hospital To His Friend’s House

Paramedics are some of the hardest frontline workers out there. They have to be ready for a major emergency at the drop of a hat.

It is a total shame when people take advantage of paramedics and EMTs, calling ambulances for unnecessary reasons.

One hilarious TikTok user recently recreated one of the wildest patient interactions he’s had while working as a paramedic in an ambulance.

Fire Department Chronicles (@firedepartmentchronicles) is a great TikTok page run by a man who is both a firefighter and a comedian.

He had multiple run-ins with a patient who would constantly call an ambulance to take him to the hospital because of knee pain.

In one of his videos, the firefighter acts out what happened when he discovered something sketchy about this patient.

The patient was complaining about his knee flaring up, citing that he has all sorts of pins in it after a major surgery.

“It seems like we bring you to the same hospital, on the same day, around the same time every single week,” says the paramedic to the nonchalant patient.

On top of having to pick the patient up all the time, the paramedic received word from the hospital they take him to that he usually walks right out the door after getting there.

“The second we leave, you walk right out the front door and go to your friend’s house around the corner,” says the paramedic. “That’s not true, right?”

The patient denied any allegations of leaving the hospital and continued his ride in the ambulance. However, later that day, the paramedic firsthand witnessed him walking right out of the emergency room. So this guy really must’ve just wanted a lift to his friend’s place!

The video generated over 330,000 likes and had viewers shocked.

“It’s all fun and games until you get the bill for the ambulance,” commented one TikTok user.

“There’s no way!” commented another user.

As astonishing as this story is, it is not an uncommon occurrence that paramedics witness all over the country. TikTok users in the comments shared similar stories. One person mentioned a man who would call an ambulance every day just so he could sit in the emergency room’s air conditioning over the summer!

We’d like to give a special shoutout to all frontline workers for having to put up with any nonsense while trying to do their jobs. We thank you!
