Medics and ffs, worst calls?!


Question:

Medics and ffs, worst calls?

just wondering what my fellow medics and firefighters around the country and the world see. what are the worst calls that you have run, the ones that left a permanent imprint on you and how you do the job.
personally one of my worst calls was to a child locked in the car with the windows rolled up. it was well into the 90's outside, well the inside of a car with black leather interior got much, much hotter, in fact so hot that the 3 year old twin boys died before anyone even noticed that they were in the car. this occured in a shopping place parking lot, the mother apparently did not want to wake the sleeping boys when she and her older daughter went to the grocery store and the than popped by the toy store. from what witnesses say the car had been in the parking lot for almost an hour when we came and the mother didnt come around for another 1/2 hour.
it was a particularly bad call for me because my son was 3 at that time and these little boys reminded me so much of my own kid.


Answers:

i had a call like yours once. it was a 6 month old left unattended in a car. we were removing the child from the seat when part of his arm just sloughed off in my partners hands. there were a lot of other nasty details that i'm going to leave out. in the last 10 years i've seen all manner of injury and death to the point where nothing really bothers me anymore.
