No. Be bold and take reasonable chances. Never live constrained by avoiding things that will upset those who already judge others. That is how we achieve great things. And, sometimes, the HOA will be upset and we have a bit of 'splaining to do to the paramedics.

You know what? A crazy story really makes our day, tbh. And we aren't there to judge. Please tell us the truth.

Exactly yes. In real emergencies, be forthright and compete. And they make for great stories too.

Oh what’s the fun in that???!?

I feel bad for the one person in the world who really lives the extremely unlikely excuses people give. Somewhere, there's a dude who genuinely slipped in the shower and got a shampoo bottle stuck somewhere very uncomfortable, and literally no one (including me) will ever believe him

I imagine a baffled nurse saying: “Yes, medical science is a bit puzzled there. Sometimes we come across cucumbers there, and even gummy penises from sex shops aren’t a rarity. Anyway, I pulled the shampoo bottle out. And congratulations, it's a boy.”

My last interaction with paramedics was me saying “I gave them Narcan” and them saying “that was a waste.” It was an overdose. The person survived because of it. There was zero interest in helping.

So many people go into health fields with no interest in helping others, just a paycheck.

But please. Tell the cops nothing. Tell the Paramedics everything.

I know nothing about this hamster. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying about this hamster and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. I have nothing to do with this hamster.

Richard, we've already moved on from this.

David Sedaris does a very funny routine about this

There is no way humanly possible to argue with this. There are however, a lot of stories I've read. Or I'm glad I'm not the one that had to do the explaining.

They’ve seen it all before or will politely say they have.

I think the English guy who walked to the emergencies with a WWII artillery shell up his arse was a huge novelty.

Been there. Done that. They didn't even believe me.

Extra points if you shock the Paramedics

That is not as limiting as you might think.

If they want answers they better revive

Also consider that some injuries are required to be reported to the authorities.*
