Chest pain.

Sons of Anarchy season finale.... Wow!

I transported a man earlier whose complaint was numbness to his lower lip after chewing on it. That was my excitement for the night.

I love all of these ideas! I'm going to ask my boss if we can do something like this at this year's party.

I did. I worked 72+ hours a week, had class 3 days a week, and did clinicals as well. It's very possible, but you can say goodbye to your social life. The last few months of school I had maybe 1 or 2 days to myself. I wouldn't change a thing, though. Time management, motivation, and dedication...

Our units are governed at 82, but we're only allowed to do 10 over the posted speed limit.

Oh I agree! That's one thing I'm not gonna budge on haha.

I just got engaged! Woohoo!

We work 48s and 72s. It sucks, but I like the money. 168 hours every paycheck.

My partner slammed on the brakes, and I (nicely) asked her to be more careful. She got pissed off and once we got to the hospital, she said, "Was that a smoother ride for you, master? It wasn't my fault!" .....Really?

That's actually pretty cool. I'd want to work on Viking lol.

The company I work for operates in 4 states. One state has trucks in the 100s, the next is 200s, and so forth. I know that at least for the state I'm in, each county's trucks are separated by 400s, 410s, and 430s. Each county has 3-4 trucks, so for example, 410, 411, 412, etc.

When I first started in EMS 3 years ago vomit and the sound of someone vomiting totally freaked me out and make my stomach turn. As gross as it was, I forced myself to look at it and the person as they got sick. Over time it got better and really doesn't bother me that much anymore.

Yep. There is a trailer park we go to that has a gate like that. I always feel a bit guilty about having to do it at 3am..

Totally not looking forward to my 72 this weekend. We have 3 units that stay pretty busy to cover our county that has a population of about 11,000. This weekend we're expecting 40,000-50,000 bikers for a bike rally. We're adding 2 extra units... but still. We've been told that at last year's...
