I want the MP3 of The Critique by EMS County Express. and I want the "Ringidy ding Ding Dow" Gieco ringtone

Oh nothing like that. They wont be putting up stuff or going through anything. I just want them to do a deep clean of the ceramic tile floors through out the house plus the black marble master bath, the upstairs bathroom that my parents use when in town and the kitchen. Basically I want to make sure my loving mother has very little to gripe about when she visits for 2 weeks around Easter/my sons Bday/my brother coming back from Iraq. At least this time when she gripes I can give her the # to file a complaint with instead of her nagging me.

very good plan.h34r:

Called to the house of a 70yo male when his neighbor found him collapsed at his front door. AOx4 on arrival complaining of feeling lighheaded, neck and back pain from fall, and "like crap"

been shut in own house for a week. Last time he ate was last night. BGL of 52. I opted to give oral glucose. He states he pays...PAYS, his cousins to check on him twice a day.

Bp of 77/52, heart rate of 100. He refuses transport to hospital stating "I don't want to die in a hospital".


Checked his fridge, made sure he had food, called his family and asked them to come out.



*sigh*

Fire walking
Rattlesnake handling
Trance dancing...

So many choices!

I've never firewalked, but I'd try it. Some of my friends survived the experience recently.

I did the snake-handling thing without meaning to. Caught some poisonous snakes as a little kid, played with them, and kept them as pets... I had no idea they were poisonous.

Been to raves, but they're not really my thing.

2 hours of sleep is not fun

You know you're in EMS when tones wake you up, then you look at the clock and think "Wow! I got two whole hours of sleep after that last call!"

I wasn't complaining that time. I had an exciting weekend so the 2 hours of sleep was worth it.

 

[lightsandsirens5]

Yup, I do.

Thank you thank you thank you!

"I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car."

A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.

Thanks Shuster. You managed to lose to CHINA in curling. You do realize that the object is not to just throw the stones across the house? They acutually need to sit in the house, block, or knock the Chinese stones out for your shots to be useful?

Another flying trip to Denver with all of my roommates stuff loaded in a trailer and my truck. As well as a few of my things, especially some of the ones that go boom.

And I work tonight for 12 hours. gonna be a long day tomorrow

I dont actually think that any vomit smells all that great but I do believe that Strawberry Milk vomit doesnt smell all that bad. The strawberry covers up the underlying stomach acid/bile smell.

Cranberry juice vomit is much the same way actually

 

[Medic744]

Cranberry juice vomit is much the same way actually

Either way it still ends up smelling up the back of the truck. And boots, and pants, and stretcher, and anything it ends up encountering.

Per the RT at our hospital: "The number one meal that gets puked or pumped out of OD pts is chicken pot pie."

I have no idea if it is true or not.....but I have brought in several ODs whose last meal was chicken pot pie.

And for those of you debating what kind of vomit smells best; My personal favorite was the drunk biker we picked up who said he drank a quart or more of Captain Morgan Coconut Rum and three or four beers in adition to eating a hot dog in the past hour or so. And by gosh, when he puked it up all over the back of the rig I found out he was right! That poor rig smelled like Captain Morgan for a few days!

But yes, I agree with the cranberry puke thing. Not as bad. I have not had Strawberry Milk puke yet, but it actually sounds horrible. But the smell of sour milk turns my stomach.

Little stray dog that one of our clients brought into work. Poor guy was a big ball of matted hair and has been living outside since atleast December. Had to be gassed down and took over an hour to clip him. Unfortunately he's also heartworm possitive.

And this one was spayed and had her declaws removed. She waddled like a penguin because of the bandages on her feet. It was cute.
