ETOH

ETOH stands for ethanol. More specifically, in medical notes, drinks containing ethanol. So pretty much when the EHS crew brings you in on a stretcher and in their Chief Complaint section it says ETOH, it means you are drunk off your ass, or have done something remarkably stupid while drunk off your ass.

It seems in the past week, that all of our Medivac chopper flights have been bringing people in with ETOH related complaints.

There was the one guy who got really housed, then decided to climb a ridiculously high tree and fell off; of the guy who imbibed a little too much Jack Daniel's and then went for a ride on his off-roader which inevitably crashed, the one who fell down the stairs and broke his back...and the list goes on.

I'm just going to put it out there that this is not a ringing endorsement for people from the city to move to the country. It makes us think that it must be so boring that there is nothing else to do but get drunk, do incredibly stupid things and get flown down to the big city for treatment.
