Slow 1st day. Fall, chest pain, and head pain (minor trauma).

The meat and potatoes of EMS. Get used to those days.

He's still missing a difficulty breathing call. Add that one to the mix and it pretty much sums it up though.

Oh, and those calls with "Positive Suitcase Sign"...

I finally found the "mark all read" button for the forum! Now all blue crosses actually mean something! And 44 days till I have no life but the medic student life.

Hmm....so Shark Week opens up with a mockumentary? A show about a man eating 38 foot shark off South Africa, yet Discovery's own website says Great Whites don't get bigger than 20 foot or so http://news.discovery.com/animals/sharks/submarine-any-truth-to-the-legend-140714.htm

Why? Lots of great real life stuff on sharks, why make up a "Jaws" like fiction?

(Oh, is anyone else having trouble opening up the new site on the Tapatalk app?)

Discovery is really starting to hurt their rep. This isn't the first time. They did one on the Russian Yeti a while back. While it was super entertaining and had me pumped to grab some guns, a crew and go yeti hunting in the Russian Wilderness, it really hurt their credibility. The whole story mixed fact and fiction...to the point where I had to conduct some outside research to discern the fact from fiction.

While I understand the importance of TV rating and keeping people entertained, I think Discovery is going about it all wrong. Lets face it...when we watch Discovery we're looking for facts and to learn some cool things. If I want an intense/scary yeti story, I'll tune into a channel like Chiller or something.

I really need to be done with medic school. I have been wanting to hop on my bike and go riding soo bad since the start of the year but I don't want to risk crashing and being out of the program.

Wait. I thought 911 meant we'd only do cardiac arrests and traumas?

Last night made me despise my city and lose faith in humanity. I have not seen such a level of immoral, selfish, idiotic behavior in my life.

 

[PotatoMedic]

What happened?

 

[NomadicMedic]

Riot following a police shooting.

 

[MrJones]

 

[TransportJockey]

I'm surprised that hasn't happened in ABQ, given the amount of LEO involved shootings we've had...


And on a happier note... I start my CCP class this week And afterwards the company will pay for my CCP-C exam and C-NPT exam. Plus the one we get out of the class.

That was my first call today and a TIA after that. Feels like another slow day. 3 1/2 hours to go and only 2 calls.

CCEMTP starts late September.

Gotta get back into the school mode.
