Lies Told by Paramedics to Patients

I would always advocate honesty first for any paramedic. But at times… paramedics are known to lie to patients (and other paramedics).

This page pays tribute to the worst and most common lies told by paramedics to their patients and colleagues:

1. Oh, this… yeah, I see this sort of stuff every day
2. I know where I’m going
3. Yes, I re-stocked and checked the truck
4. Its only a little wound
5. Its okay, I’ll cut along the seems
6. We wear these gloves, gowns and masks for every patient, to protect you, not us
7. This will only hurt a little
8. I’ve done this procedure before
