Naked and Afraid… of the EMT

Dispatched & Dysfunctional

🎙️ Episode Title: Naked and Afraid… of the EMT

🪓 Tagline: He was naked. He had a broomstick. I had a concussion.

🚨 Episode  Description:

What do you get when PD watches from the sidelines, a naked man starts pulling civilians out of cars, and I decide today’s the day I chase a psych patient in the middle of traffic?

You get a concussion, a viral video, and an HR policy with your name on it.

In this episode, I relive the time I got knocked out by a naked dude with a metal broom handle, chased him anyway, helped take him down, and still patched him up in the back of the rig — with a cop riding shotgun just in case.

Oh — and yes, this one made it all the way to Tosh.0.

EMS doesn’t come with hazard pay for nudity, but it does come with damn good stories.

🧠 Why It Matters:

Sometimes we get hurt. Sometimes we go viral.

But what sticks with you isn’t the hit — it’s the decision not to press charges… because the guy needed help more than handcuffs.
