An elderly woman fell and dislocated her hip. My paramedic drew up a dosage of Versed (a drug not within the scope of practice for LA County; one of the benefits of not being in LA County). The woman asked if the drug would help with the pain.
"Nope."
"Then what's it for?"
"To make you forget the pain you're about to feel."
He then pulled while Brian popped the hip back into place and they transported her to the hospital.
