Does Imperial Co even have that many ambulances to transport everyone from that scene? Even here, that would pretty much tap us out, or as close to it (especially with the usual other ongoing calls)

Im kinda surprised our box didnt go since we border Imperial and transport to Brawley. We had a rollover yesterday with 6 people, 2 kids unrestrained, one ejection and the car caught fire. landed 4 airships on S-22.

Back in the day, when I was in the Border Patrol, I got 18 out of a Crown Victoria that we chased for several miles before the driver took to the fenceline. Good times. Most of them were shaken a little, but no fatalities. Pretty much an everyday event to overload a vehice.

I just finished the test like 10 minutes ago. Overall, I felt like it was easier than I expected, but inb4 I fail, haha! It's always the people who thought it was easier that failed.

Staring at paint squares on my wall is driving me insane.

Damn, 30 patients MCI, half of them black tagged... out of a single SUV?! Jeez that must've been a horrible scene....

For the love all that is good, people....please drive safely around semi-trucks. We can't stop immediately, and we don't do fender benders when we hit you.

It’s also advisable to not have all the seats removed from the vehicle and have 25 people inside a vehicle only designed for 7-8 people.

We had a similar incident up here a couple years ago, 9 in a van on wood benches. Only a couple fatalities that time.v

First night with CPAP. Feels weird as heck, but tolerable and I imagine as time goes on I'll start to barely notice it

What do you mean?

Hopefully you sleep better and then think it's amazing

I passed no problem. 66/70 or 94%. I needed a 52/70 or 75% to pass. I'm so excited! Next is clinical interviews!

When you paint your house you go to the hardware store and get paint squares to help decide what color to paint.

 

[Seirende]

I managed to remove the CPAP mask while asleep. Makes sense, it's a lot for the body to get used to all at once. Guess I'll do some more desensitization today and try again tonight... really motivated to make this work.

Oh the free samples for entertainment purposes.

Yes we'll, label 1-X number and do RNG. Done.

Great job. I'm sure you'll do great on an interview.

I just worked my first decent crash. 20 minute extrication on the driver.

I got to go to the 14 yom passenger who self extricated with two vet techs "helping".

Got him on the bench and to vitals and did an assessment on him. He was worked up, but fine. Very minor small abrasion on the arm. PERL, no pain, denies head trauma. Good vitals minus high pressure from the incident.

Shut down the whole road.

Troopers, FD, constaples, all of them were there helping. My (issued) beanie fell off my head at one point when I was helping the cop try and get ID on the driver from a bag and he offered to put it back on my head cause my hands were full

Getting babied by some nice Trooper.

Lady had broken femur/hip and wrist and was still recovering from a broken ankle. They could not get a line on her. IM Ketamine X2.

Very interesting stuff going on.

 

[GMCmedic]

There is a vaccine going to trials for Lyme. Interested.


Now if they could just so something about alpha-gal. I fear it more.

Worked a full code. Wife found him but was dementia. Unknown down time or how many times he fell or the cause 80+ YOM.

Worked him fully even though he was cold, wife was inconsolable..

Things moved fast. Bagging, helping get epi ready, all of it.

I wonder if this is a normal shift

It is not.

My FTO and his partner have discussed how I'm a black cloud.

Not really. These days are sprinkled in, but most are pretty mundane.
