Hi folks,
So last night some kid, (ok he was the same age as me, but children can be any age it depends on how they act) thought it would be a good idea to walk around a crime ridden city with 8 grand in his pockets and got himself stabbed. I just got on duty when he thought it would be a good idea to drive 10 minutes home and hide his drugs rather than drive himself around the block to the hospital. Needless to say he had bled everywhere so we had to cut his clothes off to find the wound. My partner managed to cut one pant leg before his cheap pair of "trauma shears" broke and we had to switch to my backup: an old red rescue blur. It cut through his jeans like butter, but had a little trouble getting through the waistband and belt.
I thought you guys (and gals) might like to see some evidence of one of these "lesser blurs" getting some real hard use.
//MILD BLOOD AHEAD//
First the shears. these are the things you see people cutting penny's in half with. It seems that's all they're good for as the blade snapped clean off while cutting light denim.
Here's the old blur nice and fresh:
and a close up of the blade:
By the way the guy was a complete dick to us and the cops, he fought everything we did, IV's, heart monitor, pads to control the (excessive) bleeding, we saved his life last night. He was on his cell phone the whole time, until the ER M.D. grabbed it out of his hands and threw it in the biohazard bin. :barf: He'll live, but his hand got sliced pretty deep, couldn't move or feel his fingers. His mom's going to be opening his ketchup bottles for a few months at least.
Another day another dollar.
