I am sitting here trying everything to get a call....I have said it was a quiet day....I ate....I have done everything but another sacrifice to dispatch.

Start cleaning something, anything.

 

[StCEMT]

I have cleaned my dishes....twice....

Take your boots off and sit on the couch.

 

[NomadicMedic]

Polish your boots or change into your PT stuff.

We had 12 dispatches, 7 transports and endless post moves last night... We were trying everything to catch a break.

You look suspiciously like you're planning on jumping out of that perfectly good C-130 in the background. That would be silly though.

haha pretty much. Only one exit today though, but I was in the 5th pass so I got to sit inside and watch (almost) everyone else jump before my turn

 

[triemal04]

It's supposed to be easy. Keep up the CE and AHA cards and I can just get it back when I need it. I'm so busy that working even the occasional weekend shift is almost unmanageable. I hate to give it up though.

Yeah. I get a Telestaff call everyday and I always feel guilty. Also, I think my skills have degraded a bit, not working every day.

Good luck. It's a good character trait to have; knowing when it is time to move on and do something else, versus refusing to acknowledge that and lingering on and on. It can be very unpleasant to watch someone who, over decades, has built up a solid and lasting reputation for excellence and a legacy of the same destroy that by refusing to stop when it's time. Many times all people will remember is the final years of someones career, and not all they good things they may have done in the past.

I've lost 50 lbs, but still don't feel like I look like I have really lost anything. Sucks. At least the scale shows it.

80 more to go.

Second shift with the new agency is tomorrow. Should be fun. Heres hoping for an interesting shift

 

[Jim37F]

perfectly good C-130

Perfectly good plane? It's an Air Force plane, it might've been safer to land under canopy Considering I've no joke personally witnessed the AF crash an airplane on landing (and then on top of that crashed the PJs HH60 at our outpost that night AFTER picking up the crew....)

I was never that good of a medic.

I have a question. Can anyone read the writing on the sign of my avatar? Its there for the comical aspect of the message. If no one can read it, I'm going to change it.

Nope

Nope. But +100 internets to whoever knows who my avatar is.

Have you tried using the bathroom?

Nope. But +100 internets to whoever knows who my avatar is.

You?

 

[MS Medic]

Thanks

Pull your stuff off the ambulance. Make your bed and get into it. Start watching the TV show your into. Get in the shower with your uniform scattered about eight places in the station. Or my personal favorite, go for a run and end up somewhere about a quarter mile away.

I should be studying for my medic midterm. Instead I find myself in debate with a union organizer who does not have a clue. There might be a place for unions in parts of EMS, but the way they go about it is so off-putting it's hard to want to get onboard. Unions can be the answer to some of our issues but they are not the answer and it would be nice if the organizers could figure that out.

 

[MS Medic]

Paying someone for the "right" to work somewhere doesn't really sound like a great solution to problems

 

[SeeNoMore]

I'm watching Emergency! Isn't there an awful lot of high angle rescue? I have not watched the show in order but every episode there's someone hanging from something....
