LAUGHING GAS

Have you ever thought you were going to laugh so much that you would end up dead? well...these people did. On April 16, 1999 in Washington D.C. two paramedics by the names Carol and Mark were wearing respiratory masks that were attached to an empty canister of nitrous oxide or laughing gas when they died. Nitrous oxide, like other gases have to be mixed with something. Needless to say Carol and Mark didn't do that. Carol was studying to become an emergency medical technician. Mark was a 10 year veteran paramedic.

I picked this one because one time I was in an ambulance and I had two paramedics. Now that I have read this I am very glad that I made it to the hospital alive. You never know what your paramedics might do to you. So if you ever have to have laughing gas make sure it's mixed. If you don't you will die laughing. At least you will be happy...for a little while.
