329 Entries for “stretcher”

  1. I was on a stretcher. Why on earth was I on a stretcher?! All I remember is driving…and there was a big crash…what happened?
    “Why am I here?” I ask the paramedic.

  2. I always wanted to be carried somewhere on a stretcher. I think that would be fun and an interesting view to see clouds and trees as I moved horizontally through my day. If I could, I would want to experience wheeling myself around on a stretcher for a day. That would mean I would need people to push it around. I will work on that. Interesting.

    This word might refer to someone who stretches. In that case, I was a little off target. I don’t want to stretch.

  3. When my mom passed away of cancer, these gentlemen came to the house to take her away. They moved her out of the room like a piece of furniture, handling her awkwardly. THen they laid her on the stretcher. She was cocooned in what looked like white gauze. The gentlemen said..”This is it” and we all realized we would never see her again. I don’t know how long we stood there…

  4. Thing used to make taffy. Salt water taffy from Tennessee is the best. When I go down there with my family me and my dad go and watch them make it through the window. We have been doing that since I was only a few months old. Memories make me want to go back there :)

  5. someone died in a carcrash! The ambulance showed up and took the body away on a stretcher! His name was Giorgiano Ramonez. He was a famous artist and fashion designer. Officials think it was a head on collision while he was in his limo a semi came speeding along and ran into the front end of his car. It is a tragic day for all who loved the fashion industry.

  6. casualties are really tragic. However, stretchers do not need to bring bad news. They might bring such happiness that you cant take it.

  7. The stretcher rolled across the driveway, and I purposefully avoided eye contact. I didn’t want to see him because I couldn’t lie and the guilt would show red across my face. It was easier to just look away, pretend I was distracted.

  8. I am a stretcher. I like to stretch before i exercise and or eat salads. Salad is a funny word but i like to put dressing on it. The salad not the word. And whats the deal with hot pockets anyway? Burned my mouth bad on one the other day. i think I should sue. But theyre delicious, cant stop eating them. its a curse I tell you.

  9. the thing, activity or object that pushes you to your limits, stretches you to reech for your goal. your motivator, the driver of your determination.

  10. It started out as what I thought would be a normal day. It was supposed to be a good day. However, on my walk, a drunk driver hit me on the sidewalk. The impact made my head spin with the pain. I was blacking out but the world seemed to light up too. It seemed so confusing, yet I could make sense as to what was going on. I was dying. There was no doubt. What I didn’t expect, was what happens AFTER you die. That’s something nobody knows. I still don’t. And I’m the dead one.

  11. To see your loved ones rolled away on a bed of white with four wheels knowing they may never hug you again. . .

  12. He lies on the once pale white stretcher.
    Gasping for each breathe….
    Paramedics run around but nobody seems to notice him.
    He is but another victim.

  13. laid out. In the same place. Same pisition. All is stagnant. Including the thick air that becomes increasingly hard to breathe because it hurts my cilia. The pressure of it in my lungs, the unpleasant smell. Like mold and old forgotten hopes. Like a lost sense of direction being strapped down and told that now its time to start over and make your own way

  14. the stretcher was cold, hard against my skin, i ddint know what was happening my eyes were tight shut half because i couldnt open them half because i didnt want to. what was going on pain everywhere. i cant breath i can move a muscle. get me out, set me free, let me out of this vile world.

  15. He lay on the stretcher – splayed out in all directions and surrounded by family. “Why has this happened?”, his mother, Maria cried out. The ambulance attendants were trying to infiltrate the large group of family members standing around Jim’s body.

  16. hospital,people hurt,ambulance,people going to the hospital, hurt people.

  17. there was a man who was taken away on a stretcher as he was ill and had fallen down the stairs, no one knows how this happened but it it did. i miss my cat because he was stretched out over a fire and is now a big rug like those ones that rich famous people have. you can stretch so many things like animals but that’s mean and so we shouldn’t do it. dont you think ambulances look better with green on the side of them? like flowers frozen in the winter they release a kind of unexpected beauty.

  18. They walked solemnly with the stretcher suspended between them. The woman knelt cautiously beside the road in prayer that she had been spared, but asking the Lord to protect her dear child that she wouldn’t see on Earth again.

  19. I am a gymnastic teacher. Well I dont really teach as much as I stretch. Thats right. I am a professinal stretcher. If a girl is ingured or even if the girl isnt injured. After a hard workout. She gets a free quality stretch..did I mention free of charge ;D

  20. Her latest infatuation, online dating, could her on a stretcher. It could lead to a heart attack…peptic ulcers… Though the latter would not need paramedics. Better management is needed. Go easy, sassy sistah. And lay off the saturated fats.

    Online dating and its eventual outcome will never, however, replace her main addiction.

  21. I am a go doer
    A 10 mile a day runner
    A morning stretcher
    A don’t stop until it’s doner
    I am not a quitter
    I am a winner
    And all the time I am getting stronger

  22. his body lies on the silver stretcher
    he had an inch for his life
    we could see it all unfold
    his eyes were blinking slower
    and slower with every close.
    the silver stretcher
    rolled almost
    in slow motion towards the red
    lights.
    he was going towards the lights
    the inch of life he held so desperatly too
    shortened with every
    single
    breath.

  23. I’ve read alot about stretchers
    Never seen one in person
    Only heard of in stories
    I never thought they were real
    Until my friend dies on one
    He is alright now
    He was saved
    But everyone thought he was gone
    Just gone
    Left the world by way of a stretcher
    He was knocked unconscience by a seizure while driving
    He is a living miracle
    It was like God reached down and said
    “you are too young, you still have things to do
    You cannot die yet you mortal fool”

    Emma Blankenship
  24. When I think of a stretcher I think of someone being hurt and being put onto a stretcher to go in an ambulance. I have never been on a stretcher or in an ambulance, but I can imagine it would be a scary experience. Hopefully it’s not one I ever have to go through for myself or my children.

  25. I saw the man dead on the floor and was too stunned to move. It wasn’t fair, he tried to save my life but he was killed instead. When the ambulance came and put him on the stretcher I immediately got on too and went to the hospital as well. They checked me for any injuries and only found some minor bruises and cuts. In less than an hour the doctor came and told me that the man that saved my life was, officially dead. There was no possible way that he would ever hear me say thank you, that he would ever get to be thankful for his life, that his family would ever be thankful for this accident.

  26. The stretcher reeked of old blood. A dying man’s last heartbeat, crusted by days of burning sun.

    Les Welch
  27. The hospital stretcher was long white and full of menace. Elis imagined that at any moment the thing would turn into a coffin. That it would twist up and engulf her father, swallow him whole and bury him in the ground. ‘Wait,’ she wanted to cry.

    Heather
  28. It wasn’t hard getting you onto the stretcher, but convincing you to stay on it, to take the ride to the hospital, that was a feat worthy of legend. I still have the scars, pale against my tan skin, now that it’s July and you’re so far away I’m not even sure you remember who I am at this point. But that doesn’t matter.

    Nicole
  29. The stretcher whizzed through the dreary hallways of the hospital. The man was dying. Not likely to last the night, conceded by the mouths of many of the staff.

    Kelly
  30. I heard my cousin had to be on a stretcher because he had an accident while playing soccer. They described the stretcher to be so fragile because his body was so big.

  31. wishing on the strecher
    sighing while i help her
    what do i do while i live in this hell
    sing loud o Lord is how ill be
    what am i do to without you with me
    nothing to do but wait for your Mercy
    help her o Lord
    save this beautiful life

    Amanda Flynn
  32. A man lies mangled and bloody, one arm hanging limp off the side while they load him into the ambulance. He looks dead, but the EMTs can see that he is still clinging onto this world with a slippery, yet persistent grasp.

  33. Clint is no stranger to medical procedure. he finds himself often in the medbay hooked up to top dosage painkillers that could probably knock out a horse. Sometimes he wonders how he got into this position – what the hell happened that he’d become a top assassin, a top fighter… This was never how he imagined his life to be when he was a kid.
    But in a way, he was glad it did.

  34. smith ambulance. someone is hurt or someoneis dying. people better act quickly and get that person help. im scared and im praying i get nervous. i hope everything is okay

  35. The scene was remarkable. All of us stood outside staring in disbelief. The old man from next door with the sweet face and absurd amounts of grocery products had died. “It was yesterday,” the coroner told us, loading him onto the stretcher. “Wow,” my roommate marveled. “I just saw him the other day–he was entering his apartment with bananas and plums.”

  36. It was more comfortable here than the bed she left him naked in.

  37. Stretcher

    Life is short
    and life is long,
    life is one big
    sad, sad song.
    Life ends so quick
    and goes so slow,
    why does death
    feel like an obstruction to the flow?

  38. Stretcher, a mobile bed used to carry the injured to safety and help. A stretcher is terrifying and reassuring at the same time.

    Terra Pfaff
  39. a stretcher is a device used to carry injured persons, sometimes people fall off and are injured worse but sometimes they rided it like chariots carrying them home with their fist raised in salute to the fans that cheer them on emphatically.

  40. (to be sung in the tune of a late night drinking song:)

    She lay there in the minefield
    her body strewn apart
    it was hard to get the stretcher in
    everything was torn apart
    blood was oozing everywhere
    lives were torn apart
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for her heart

    (Chorus)
    singing yo-ho-ho and a bottle of gin
    ye-ha-ha you say this is a sin
    but I don’t have much use for sin these days
    life is a work of art
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for my heart

    Her mind saw the whole scene from above
    but there was nothing it could do
    her heart was cut in pieces
    beyond the healing touch of glue
    as many looked upon the scene
    just quite not sure to do
    the mind just shook it’s head and said
    I wish I were there too

    (chorus)

    It watched as she was wheeled away
    that sunny afternoon
    thrilled they got all the pieces
    and they’d know what to do
    the surgery was tricky
    as it was so darn brand new
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for my heart
    (chorus)

    The surgeon we very confused
    never seen a case like this before
    as the mind tried to follow
    it ran into a closed door
    the pieces of her body were strewn across the floor
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for her heart

    (chorus)

    it took great time and patience
    to sew up the big mess
    the mind waited patiently
    thinking it was a test
    I will emerge stronger
    I will finally get some rest
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for her heart
    (chorus)

    After hours and hours of surgery
    the heart was all fixed up
    except for one small piece
    that they got all mixed up
    it landed in the trash can
    amidst the gloves and waste
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for her heart

    (chorus)

    Finally the door opened
    and she emerged anew
    peaceful and contented
    she seemed almost brand new
    the mind rejoined the body
    life could go on new
    but something was now missing
    in the dump it would live now
    yo-ho-ho grab a stretcher for her heart

    (chorus)

    They saw that hearts are
    the trickiest organi to mend
    even with surgical tools
    and plenty of money to spend
    but people go on living
    joy can still be found
    so pass me the bottle
    and we’ll go another round

    singing…
    yo-ho-ho and a bottle of gin
    ye-ha-ha
    and you say this is a sin
    but I don’t have much use for sin these days
    life is a work of art
    yo-ho-ho…bring a stretcher for my heart
