David Lee Roth to become a Paramedic!

[Antikigirl]

So it seems David Lee Roth, formally the lead singer from Van Halen (when they were great by the way...little personal bias there..LOL!) is going to school to become a paramedic!

And I couldn't help but come up with some funny things to say about that one. My brother was a HUGE Van Halen fan..so it was easy for me to come up with some stuff!!!!!!

Top reasons for David Lee Roth to be a paramedic:

10. Can diagnose what drug a patient was on at 50 paces.

9. Will come up with several new songs like "I'm your paramedic maam, stop me when I passing by", "I'm hot for Nurses", and rewrite Sammy's song for vengence "I don't have to go 55!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

8. Will be funny when he forgets his parteners name and just starts calling everyone Eddie, Anthony, or Alex.

7. Will get a new guitar riff idea from watching EKG's!

6. Is old enough to really sympathize with the geriatric patients, yet childish enough for pediatric patients!

5. Can fashion his hair with ky jelly and some normal saline!

4. Can easily do report by using only song titles from the 70's and 80's!?

3. He would be the ONLY paramedic to make those uniforms tight in the a*s, and look pretty good too (he still has a fine tooshie!)!

2. Has been familiar with all the equipment and drugs used on ambulances anyway from his many frequent flyer miles on them!

1. Will thrill in the delight of defib while saying "watch this.....Go'head and JUMP *shock* "

David Lee Roth Theme song: (just a gigalo theme)

Oh I am just an EMT, and never get a chance to pee, and people don't know what I'm saying...

Ooooh, Randy Mantooth! Homina, homina. He's still quite hot. He was in the SciFi series "Farscape" recently as the hero's (one of them anyway) father. Gosh, really cute!

Oh when I was 7 or 8 I swore I was going to marry that man!!!!! LOL! Get this...I guess there was a lingering feeling after all...I did marry a paramedic! LOL! I never thought about that till now..wonder if I should tell my hubby...or go find Mantooth? LOL!!!!!!!!!!

Things I learned from Emergency:

1. If a larger lady is complaining of SOB, check her girdle first (oh that was hillarious).:chuckle

2. Open all syringe caps or vials with a flick of the thumbs then do a freeze frame...you will look so cool! LOL!

3. A rock hit by a lawn mower can kill (so don't get near the lawn mower..pay someone else and get back in the house! LOL!).:chair:

4. Paramedics are sexy!

and 5. I actually got turned on by a man (Mantooth) at the tender age of 7 or 8!!!!!!! I proably didn't know what those feelings were till I was older..but it must have started there! LOL!!!!!!! :rotfl: :chuckle :rotfl:

LOL, great thread!

All joking aside: you know I really thought there wasn't much to DLR but dried-up, used-up, former rock star.

You gotta give the man CREDIT for having the b*lls to begin a new career so totally removed from his former one, at his point in life.

I'm impressed. He knew it would make the news but he did it anyway. I just hope "they" don't make it too hard on him, if you know what I mean.

This may have been a life-long, buried little-boy-dream of his, just now coming to fruition. I totally discounted the man before, but I have a new respect for him.

Any guy who wants to be a paramedic can't be all bad! :)

I always thought David Lee was hot back when he was in Van Halen. Loved his banter in "Panama"--(something about it being hot tonight; my aging brain can't remember the rest).

Argh--that's Frankie Avalon! Frankie was a heartthrob in the 50's--'56 was his heyday, I think. Bobby Sherman, OTOH, (swoooooooooon) was a big teen star in the late 60's. You know, with the Monkees* and the Partridge Family.

*I was going to marry Mike Nesmith when I grew up.

**I should have... He's rich as Croesus now.

I was going to marry Davy Jones...it broke my young heart that he would never know of my love... (sniff)

It would be nice if Bobby Sherman's Wikipedia article would be updated. Yes, he WAS with LA County Sheriff Department as a Reserve Deputy, and has been and is, currently a Reserve Officer with LAPD. He has NEVER been a Paramedic, and is (I don't want to say it this way) only an EMT. I say that with reverence, having been an EMT myself, for 20 years. I'll have to look into the DLR connection as I haven't heard a thing about it.

[linearthinker, DNP, RN]

So, did DLR ever become a Paramedic? Somehow I doubt it. Orderly, I'd believe.

[Skips, MSN, RN]

He became one in 2004, but I don't know if he is still a paramedic or not. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,783462,00.html

[KB6KGX]

OK, so supposedly he DID become a Paramedic in 2004. Although some reporters may not know the difference between EMT and Paramedic, the "People" article mentions his use of a defibrillator, which basic EMTs are not trained/authorized to use. It could have been an AED, which EMTs ARE allowed to use, but the article is not clear. Nothing I've found in my searches indicates whether or not he still is one, or if that was just a "let's try this out" thing and he gave it up. Don't know.
