We can't repay what has been given.

Tonight has been a funny night, possibly something to do with the Lunar eclipse. In the first hours of the shift there were two people who I wanted to give a good slapping.
The first was a woman who had overdosed on tablets and whiskey, when I first arrived she was crying and looked upset. However, as soon as her (understandably) upset mother entered, the woman started laughing and taking the piss out of her mum. This puts her in the category of suicide attempts that I wish had succeeded.
The second was a young woman who had been hitting her father, when her brother (defending the father) had stepped in and broke the tooth of the woman. This woman was inconsolable over the broken tooth, and would not believe that modern dentistry can make teeth look as good as new (I should know my uncle once had his teeth knocked out with a baseball bat.
The thing is, I always start off being nice to people, but every-so-often you just want to slap them...

...except she had already been slapped.

I get called to a lot of RTA's (that is, for the uninformed "Road Traffic accident"). I'd say that 90% of these are diagnosed as "whiplash" (which is a muscular sprain of the neck - ultimately a minor injury that is treated with painkillers).
I'd suggest that over half of these are in order to gain insurance money, in the trade we call this the "Payment Point", referring to the point in the neck that is painful, and pays out the money.
Tonight I saw the most blatant attempt to get money from an "accident".
I was called to a flyover where two cars had been in a near collision, that's right near collision. There was no damage to either vehicle, nor were there even any skidmarks left on the road. The "patient" was the passenger of the car, and complained of pain on the right side of his neck. He was desperate to go to hospital, for what reason I do not know, as there is obviously no injury.
This was made even more evident when he forgot what side of his neck the pain was on. When I called him on this he pretended not to know what I was talking about. Even the police were not above making fun of this idiot.
It probably didn't help that he is 10 years younger than me an driving around in a red sports car.
