Knott..I have a bitch with title of your post. You make it sound like it was taken directly from a Yosar rescuer thus, misleading people into thinking it might be true. It might be dialog between rescue worker...yes it happens and if it was it should have stayed there. After a few bodies you use "black humor" to cope. The situations you deal with on a regular basis is difficult, dealing with family members, and so on. Not to mention your own mortality. There are times I felt I could not get my hands clean enough from the "stuff" they were in. Sometimes the smell death stays with you for so long you think it is you. So improper humor dehumanizes the situation somewhat and keeps things at arms length.. and to remind yourself....it is just a job.

@froodish: AWESOME, thanks!! I'm definitely going to use that. Although, I have to say... I'm no republican, but fatty is hardly the worst offender on here in terms of rude/insane/OT posts.

Doesn't really matter what someone in Yosar says or comments, its what they do that is important.

I heard one of them YOSAR guys kept a human eye and 3 fingernails in YooHoo sippy box under his bed for a decade and then sold it on Ebay for 6K. Weird set of guys.

"Doesn't really matter what someone in Yosar says or comments, its what they do that is important. Thank goodness for them and their efforts. Maybe we should try to keep the demaning(sic) posts related to Yosar to a minimum"
No Sir- If we are tasked in dealing with end of life situations - in the field or in an Acute Care setting - what we do and how we carry it out always requires professionalism and the two should not be separated. Mr. Braun has it exactly right

Thus why SAR has radio protocols, and either has personnel designated to liaise with family members and press or defers those duries to law-enforcement. The sh#t that happens or is said in the field isn't for public consumption.

It's a bit early to be swigging from that whiskey bottle. Even for a Canadian winter Friday.

Cragman- we don't think you are nuts, not for that anyway.
Time heals all wounds, in this case, some friends and I had a good sick laugh about something similar recently. Every situation is unique.
The trick is to keep the nasty humor in house and never yell something truly tasteless at a family having a BBQ. You never know when the victim's family is around, and in this day and age of instant internet publication, you don't know where your words will end up.

What people say working in the operation room, ER, or during a rescue should not be repeated.
In fact I really deeply don't want to know what comments were said about me when I was prepped for surgery. Damn, it's hard watching things go south, getting old...
