Ran on an elderly man having a seizure, medic supervisor partner starts flight while we are responding. Get there, patient is postictal and has a history of seizures. Partner cancels flight, tells me to get him on the monitor and start a line. As soon as I go to start it, he seizes again, partner yells at me for taking too long to get line and then leaves to get some narcs (but I did still get it hooray!). Patient seized again on the 45 minute transport and maybe went briefly into Vtach. Then I get chastised for not knowing the "right" way to the hospital that I have already transported to five times.
Wish flight took him, we could hear them on approach to the next door fire station!
It is tough having to get used to the wants and needs of ten or so medics, everyone has their own nuances that make or break the call. Even when I ask their expectations on the way to the call I still struggle to be viewed as proficient, which is starting to bother me.

Sounds like your partner may have been letting out some of his frustrations about the call on you. It's not your fault the narcs were left in the truck on a seizure pt. I definitely know the feeling of attempting to get used to the nuances of various partners. It can be frustrating, especially when each believe they do it the "right" way and there is no other option.

I hope so. I asked him if I should grab the narcs and he said to leave them.
I'm off of the first round of probation but ran very few calls so that's a bit of a mixed blessing. I hate riding third because it's not an accurate representation of running a call and was happy to be done with that. That said I would have liked to make my rookie mistakes when there were extra hands around and just done some more learning in general. The IV stuff is tough, I've gotten three (not a typo) attempts total but am expected to get a line on every patient...

Well just got some cool news. I'm only scheduled to work on Sunday at our huge country music festival but I have to get a wristband that is good for the whole weekend. Looks like its going to be VIP treatment on Saturday if I go off duty.

Dear Dealer,
With a plus 6-7 true count, please don't follow up split aces with more aces. 2 $25 hands of 12 that I can't do anything with just costs me money. :-(

I thought this was going a totally different direction...
