I Can Breath(R) – but I can’t spell, apparently.
Wow. I can’t believe all the snarkiness and naysaying about this.
In the end, we’re going to have another person out there who is trained in emergency medical procedures. The level of ignorance out there about even the most basic of first aid procedures is appalling. David Lee Roth is choosing to fight his own ignorance. And in this case, his decision may save your life.
Dispatcher: Unit two, unit two, please respond with status of report of body in park.
Roth: I ain’t got no body! No body, no body, no body…
True (despite my previous remark). It just seems such an odd thing for someone like Diamond Dave. Given his image, you would never think for a second he would have this desire to help others. He’s always struck me at the party-hearty, let’s get drunk and screw type who is only interested in his own pleasure (and that of a few dozen groupies).
If he is serious and can do the job, more power to him.
I hear he has changed his mind. His seat in the EMT course has been taken by Sammy Hagar.
Everybody wants some! (morphine)
Shhh. Gary Sherone might hear you.
You gotta love Dave. Just one of those refreshing, upbeat, live-loving eccentrics.
Showed the story to a friend, and he thought perhaps Dave was trying to get inspiration for his next album. Some suggested song titles are:
runnin’ to the car crash
you really got hurt
jamie’s bleeding
enema
hot for seizures
Hey, I’d be looking around for Ashton Kutcher, too. I wasn’t commenting more on the folks that seem to be saying he shouldn’t do it at all. It would be truly bizarre to have DLR show up wielding a set of defibrillators.
::wanders off singing Enema…Enema-a…::
Oh great. Now I won’t be able to get that out of my head all day.
*Enemaa …
Enema-a …
Enemaa …
Enema-a-a-a-oh-oh!!*
I’m just an EMT, and everywhere I be…
Dave rawks!!
My friends have a band called The Fuglees and they have a great song called “David Lee Roth.” It’s friggin’ hilarious.
Click on the MP3 link, and then click on “David Lee Roth.” It’s worth a listen, I promise. Their other stuff is pretty good too.
Allow to add to your pain, then:
Yeah, we’re a litte stopped up tonight
fwoosh!
I can really feel the load buildin’ up
fwoosh!
Reach down, between my legs
fwoosh!
Ease the tube in.
fwoosh!
I bet
How’d that happen?
Anyway, I was going to say something about expecting David Lee Roth to show up in a “Third Watch” cameo, possibly for December sweeps.
While the concept of a rock star EMT is funny, I think it’s very admirable that he’s doing this. Being an EMT is a difficult, stressful, and sometimes dangerous job. I have major respect for anyone who goes into that line of work, especially when it’s a labor of love like in his case. …although in most locales EMTs get crappy compensation anyway. 
Painfully true. The local Paramedic response company I used to do per diem work for paid EMT’s 8.15 an hour. Starting pay for Paramedics was 14.00 an hour.
For $ 8.15 an hour I risked exposure to biohazards, both natural and man-made, all communicable diseases both bloodborne and not, injury, death from accident or becoming involved in a dangerous call ( gunshots, weapons involved in an EMS call, etc. ), chronic heavy lifting in danger situations, etc.
Of course, the non-financial remunerations were priceless beyond imagination, so it was a fine course of employ.

Hehe, this is one hilarious thread! You guys are great!
I guess I should add one:
Oh, no, no… Jamie’s dying!

Are you sure? Any number of Jewish volunteer EMTs (with the Hatzoloh service) who I know personally (my uncle is one) have beards.
