top notch interaction I had with the ambulance crew after my accident a couple years back:
paramedic: hi, I'm Allan
me: you told me. and your colleague is Jim, and the man who found me is Peter. guess my short-term memory is okay
Allan: ..are you doing a cognitive function test on yourself
Allan, two minutes later, putting a third blanket around me: okay, how's that feeling now
me: well my feet are still freezing but it's okay, I know you need to focus on getting my core temperature up first
Allan: how many times has this happened to you
noteworthy that they literally had a mask on me hooked up to a tank pumping narcotics into my lungs through all this, and my body temperature was like 34°. I would have been doing well to just have both eyes pointed in the same direction
"This is great. I'm going to get a good grade in post-accident cognition."
