Paramedics

As paramedics, my partner and I were dispatched to check on a 92-year-old man who had become disoriented. We decided to take him to the hospital for evaluation. En route, with the siren going, I questioned the man to determine his level of awareness.

Leaning close I asked, "Sir, do you know what we're doing right now?"

He slowly looked up at me, then gazed out the ambulance window.

"Oh," he replied, "I'd say about 50, maybe 55."
