Interesting work stories

[Doc Holiday]

Got them? Post them!

I currently work in detention and a guy that was in my custody for about 4 months this past year just murder suicided himself last night, kinda wild feeling, you hear about this stuff but you never think you'll be in a situation of "oh I know that guy". So it got me thing about how weird my work situation is, and how it differs from anything you might consider normal.

I've seen someone going through detox so bad that they covers themselves with poo because they were hallucinating. 2 people are still walking today because I physically stopped them from commuting suicide. And I have thrown a person across a room in the middle of a fight.

I've had poo water thrown on me.

Right now I have a guy that's been in my custody for about a year on psycho murder poo, and he's the most well behaved and normal acting of everyone I have in custody. So yeah I know a psycho murderer too!

I used to work with fresh human donor tissue - liver, kidney, lungs, intestines, etc.  The son of the founder of that company was on America's Got Talent the other night for his trapeze duo.

Found 3 dead bodies at work (so far), including one old man who died in a naugahyde recliner, and stayed there for 2 months in an apartment with no electricity in summer heat. He literally melted into the chair.

After stories about murderers and respiratory therapist, any story I might tell would seem boring.  

 

Well, when I was in the Navy serving on board the Iowa, they were getting ready to fire the main battery and I forgot to latch down the door of one of our topside offices.  When the 16inch battery fired, it blew the door off the hinges, and into a glass table that we used for photo examination.  Got my but chewed for that.

I once threw a going away party for my best friend at work and hired a donkey show.

Last summer while working a security internship at the Barclays Center I was allowed to work closely with and shadow Katy Perry's tour security manager for her show that evening. Hours before the show her head of security and I were waiting for her arrival...he had informed me that she was biking to the arena from Manhattan with some of her friends rather than being driven in. Two SUVs followed closely behind and in front of her while she and three friends made the trip over the bridge and into Brooklyn. 

The Barclays Center has a massive freight elevator meant for large trucks, busses, and any other vehicles so they can get down to the event level of the arena and unload because parking is nonexistent surrounding the venue. The first SUV   pulls in and heads to the front of the elevator. Katy and her friends on bikes follow, and the final SUV pulls in behind them. Her security manager and I step in and begin our descent. In the meantime, one of Katy's friends has taken Katy's dog from one of the SUVs, placed the dog in the basket attached to the front of his bike, and tied the leash to the basket. 

There is a rather large gap between the elevator and concrete floor at ground level. Not to mention the concrete is several inches higher than the elevator at its lowest point. The first SUV pulls forward and parks, and Katy and her friends begin pedaling fast towards her changing room. As the final biker with Katy's dog in his basket hits that gap and concrete floor exiting the elevator, the dog (leashed) falls out of the basket and begins being strangled and dragged by its neck while the biker struggles to slow down. I hear Katy scream out "She's choking!" Immediately I ran to the dog from behind and scooped her up to stop its suffering. The biker unties the leash and I hand the puppy over. Katy has circled back at this point on her bike and next thing I know I am being hugged by and thanked generously from Katy Perry. I hugged Katy Perry. It was awesome.
