It finally happened, the fabled no hitter, spent the entire shift without a single call. Not even a cancellation en-route/on scene, simply didn't get a single call dispatched our way.
I've had a couple of days like that, they were awesome but I got really really tired because I was always waiting for the call… which never came! Honestly, those days were kind of worse than slow days.

I can't stand those days. They move along very slowly. I like to get ~5-7 calls in a 12 hour shift.

I used to hate slow days. Now I enjoy them when they happen, if I were working. I miss work.

Went over 12-lead with the EMT students today. Had a female student volunteer to have the 12-lead placed. She has regular occurring PVCs, that she wasn't aware of. She just felt her heart always skip a beat. Having to explain to the class why some of the squiggly lines were bigger and looked funny from the others was a little hard haha.

Female student wanting a 12 lead placed, risky!

Also a very good learning experience.

That's awesome though. Probably benign but proof in the pudding that the U.S. Doesn't do a very good job of screening people, especially young people.

We've got a 21 year old medic who's chronically in a 3AVB in the 40s. I was doing the equipment portion of his academy and he told me that so I handed him the cables and told him to put his money where his mouth was.

One of those "Oh snap!" Moments.

Every semester we will usually get 1-2 girls in each class (total of 4 classes) who volunteer for the 12-lead. The best part is seeing the guys faces when they realize they will be placing it on her and not me.

Reminds me of the time a dude in my basic class popped wood while a girl was practicing trauma assessment on him. He was laying on top of the desks too so there was no hiding it OTL

Wow.

Someone has never been with a girl before... lol

A trauma assessment is far from sensual... until you get to the TC and they check rectal tone and for frank blood...then it gets kinky ;)
