The following is a guest post from the late great Hallway Four:
Middle-aged business man gets brought in by EMS. Patient is sopping wet and has scuba gear next to him on the stretcher. The story goes like this… The guy is at a pool party with other successful business-type people. He drinks too much. He decides to go scuba diving – in the hot tub. So, he puts on all his scuba gear and heads to the bottom of the hot tub, where he stays for TWO HOURS. After his oxygen runs out, he surfaces and starts walking around the party again. Party-goers (who apparently thought nothing of a drunk guy scuba-diving in a hot tub for hours) noted that he was “acting funny” and called EMS. On my exam, he’s fine – just really drunk. Later, when I asked him what happened, he has no recollection of the events and simply says, “I don’t know, I guess I drank a little too much.”

He was probably so annoyingly drunk that the rest of the partyeurs were completely satisfied with him being at the bottom of a hot tub where he couldn’t annoy anyone and only called EMS to be annoying-drunk bouncers after he resurfaced and started irking everyone again.
Hilarious post BTW.

Nurse K,
I demand an apology.
We are not annoying-drunk bouncers. We do not drink on duty. So there.
2 hours in relaxing hot water, with a bunch of alcohol on board? I’m guessing his suit is soiled.

I DO NOT want to go in that hot tub until it’s been drained and bleached.
