So Russ was on the foot end of the cot me pushing and 2 CO'S with a lot of gold, not reg constables, step out with theyre note pads and say "hold on a min fellas" We say sorry boys we will chat after this guy sees the doc. We come out and the co gos the normal, whars your name, wheres your base, what time.what happenened blah blah blah. Then he goes what did the bear look like, My partner Russ raises both his arms fingers outstretched and roooaar. NOT a crack of a smile from the two CO chaps. I almost pissed myself and a bunch of other paramedics in line for triage howeled. I stepped up to say we didn't see any bear. We picked him up in Bella Bella 2 hrs after the incident. That was one of the funnier times in 35 yrs
