All this for nothing!

Last night my crew and I got dispatched to a 22 year old female that was having severe abdominal pain. This woman lived in our fourth due response area which means we had an extremely long response time. When we marked en-route we had no idea how far out this call really was. We drove for over 30 minutes on gravel roads, and wound around hairpin curves that were most often times single lane roads. When you are driving around in your personal vehicle on roads like these it is bad enough, but doing so in the back of a bouncy ambulance and not being able to see in front of you is ten times worse!The entire crew (even the ones not normally affected by motion sickness) began getting really sick. By the time we got to the woman's house all of us were sick! It was a terrible feeling knowing that you had to suck it up and go out there and take care of your patient when you felt sick yourself. So after getting her inside we began the horrible ride back out of the "woods" and to the hospital. I almost passed out on the way there and both of the guys in the back with me were sick as well. It was a miserable ride. Finally, we got to the hospital and got the patient transferred to the nurse. I was feeling terrible, but knew the woman was in a lot of pain so I was glad we took the call and was able to help her. As I was walking back to the EMS room to begin the paperwork the nurse asked me for the woman's last name. When I told her she just looked at me, smiled, and said..."Oh, her again. Yeah she was in here two days ago for the same thing. Frequent flyer." With disgust I walked back to the EMS room to inform the rest of my crew that we were missing sleep and were all feeling sick for someone who was just faking it!
