"Come on, you can do it, lots of room."
"Alright, out of the way, miscreants."
"Come on kids, I'm not a skinny bitch."
These are some of the reactions local paramedics have had to drivers on Vancouver streets as they race to medical calls with lights flashing and sirens blaring.
In a recent trailer for the Knowledge Network show Paramedics: Life on the Line, which captures the real-world experiences of paramedics in Vancouver, there's a compilation of reactions from those behind the wheel of an ambulance.
They range from outright anger to dry sarcasm, but all are directed to those slowing them from an emergency.
Among the mistakes caught on camera are cars stopping in the middle of the road, not stopping, crossing an intersection in front of an ambulance, turning in front of an ambulance and causing chaos in general for those on the way to an emergency.
They also remind everyone what to do if you do see the red-and-white lights flashing in your mirror.
"When we're driving (with) lights and sirens the best thing is for people just to pull to the right," says one paramedic in the clip.
Otherwise, you'll get a different reaction, like, "Incorrect," or "I can see this is going to be chaos," or "Oh, come on dude!"
Or "Jesus f**k!"
