Picked up this patient ten minutes before the end of my shift around 6:50AM and I was already weirded out by the call which came across as “heavily intoxicated woman requesting transport to the hospital.” Once we arrived on scene she was standing at the door very insistent she go to the hospital so we took her and I rode in the back since it was BLS. I did the usual rigamarole and took vitals and sat back for transport in the left seat where I usually sit so I can see the monitor and talk to the patient while I filled out paperwork. As I filled out the trip ticket she started touching my knee and I brushed her hand aside several times. Eventually she started feeling up the inside of my thigh saying “come on let’s go” and “you know you want this, come on let’s go”. I slapped her hand away but she put it right back reaching for my crotch so I just pushed her hand away and rode in the captains chair behind her. She didn’t seem to notice I’d moved and kept reaching for me and repeating herself.
Anyways once we dropped her off at our facility she was immediately combative and trespassed by law enforcement.
The whole situation makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable and I feel disgusting afterwards and I’m considering filing a report. Anyone else been in this situation with a patient?
