A New Type of STEMI Alert

One commenter on my last post pointed out what it would be like if we triaged STEMI patients using the same criteria we use for trauma patients. Silverback Medic's comment is funny enough that it deserves a post of its own:

Hey, I'm likin' this concept… STEMI Mechanism… 

"Dispatch, I have a 55 year old male involved in a BLT with obvious incursion. Patient was unrestrained with notable mayo to the face and upper torso. Patient was also found to have several Camels, 2 lighters, and pack of chewing tobacco in the left rear pocket. Patient needs to be transported to a level 1 cardiac center based on history, mechanism and bad breath."

I ROFL'ed.
