20. Patients seem to either love or hate having a "young" crew. Yesterday we didn't catch any flak from patients, or even staff...

I had an anxiety patient tell me I was an idiot when I told her she was going to pass out if she didn't stop breathing 100 times a minute. Then she did and when she woke up she actually gave me the time of day.

Like you said it can definitely go both ways. My partner and I yesterday had a combined age of 46 hah.

BBG she will come back, just tell her what you told me about her and she wont be able to leave!

We have a new frequent flyer who calls 911 2 or three times a day.

Ugh. The dispatchers keep sending medics, even though it's always a PT refusal. I've been to her house 9 times. Now, I go with a reduced response an make sure the cops are dispatched. :/

That's not a bad idea :)

I have, once again, managed to piss off one of the local volunteer fire medics...I suppose I'll be heading to medical directors office first thing Monday morning.

You realize I hope, that at this rate if your house ever burns down you're screwed right? Plus you know firefighters are probably really good at fighting fires in reverse, just something to think about.

I would be concerned if it weren't for the following reasons:

-my roommate is one of the more respected members of the FD
-this particular fire medic is hated by 99% of the department
-I pissed him off by simply denying him an IV start, I wasn't rude, condescending, or an :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:. I was simply running a call the way I wanted to.

Just sayin'

Ok Lifers I need a little help here.

Everybody who thinks my girlfriend (sorry ex girlfriend) should give me another chance say aye.

After she and I decided to break up (2nd dumbest thing I ever did) I kind of lost my mind and fired off a hurtful email (dumbest thing I ever did) so I'm trying to gather proof that I'm not a complete and total ***, at least not all of the time anyway.

BBG if she reads this, your goose is cooked!

(But she'll get a kick out of the responses.)

Could be good; could be bad.

A couple married for 75 years was recently asked "how they did it?"
They responded by saying "back in our day, when something was broke, we didn't grow it away, we fixed it"
Now if you just apply this (or atleast try) it may make you feel better!

She's agreed to a face to face tomorrow. Hopefully my groveling will be enough.

I really wish I could post a picture of the call we just had.

Ocular displacement of the left eye after a ground level fall...I guess that's the only way I can describe it.
