I have been in an Ambulance several times in my life and I for one really don't like to go on Ambulance rides. I much prefer that my family would transport me in the car and for this reason is that I fear Ambulances. I don't know why but I do, I'm sure that I'm not the only one that feels this way because I know that there are others out there that also fear Ambulances.
I know that my family would rather much transport me in an Ambulance especially when they see how ill I am, but if I am able to talk then of course I would say to them please do not call an Ambulance for me, I would rather they take me by car. And if I am not able to speak, or see, or hear, then by all means take me in an Ambulance but if not then a car ride for me will be just fine.
I don't hate Ambulances I fear them I don't know why I just do. I sometimes wonder if the fear could be that I am scared that the Paramedic will miss my arm when he is putting the IV`s or scared that while the Ambulance is moving, the bed might tip over while the Paramedic is working on me.
I just fear the Ambulance ride completely but never the less I will have my family transport me by car, unless there are no other options. |
