Ugh, being nice to my favorite sup and staying late lost me precious sleep. On the bright side....Got a student to ward off dispatch's sillyness and an awesome partner who will crank up five finger death punch to keep me going.

I'm 12 into a 36hr shift. Feel free to call ha

Definitely a possibility. Winds are a little high for SLU's pad today.
Psh you rotor guys are spoiled lol. A cloud in the sky and you stay down for weather while us fixed wing medics still go out [emoji14]

I wouldn't mind fixed-wing, but I really don't like helicopters. Too small, too cramped, too loud, too hot. Plus I'm over the whole "can't really glide well" thing lol. At least a King or a Pilatus or a Cessna can glide a little if the engines (x2) stop...

Look for a twin-engine program? The 145's are nice. I don't know that a FW could "glide" a whole lot better in any sort of engine failure scenario.

With all the stuff available online (Netflix, etc.) I've never had a good reason to have cable TV these days.

Agreed. I have netflix, and amazon prime currently, and stealing hulu from my old roommate. That's plenty enough to keep me entertained. Only time I need cable is football season, but then I usually go to a buddy's house or a bar to watch the game.

I really wanna fly 145 or 429 when I lose the weight. I liked fixed wing, but rotor sounds fun too. We were in an area of country that we did fixed wing scene flights too lol

I'm a little too husky to fit comfortably onto most single-engine helicopters and I despise jumpsuits.

My dream would be an H-60, but those usually come with other uniforms beyond the flight suit lol....maybe HH65? I could fly around in a day-glo orange and white bird, but in any case all them peeps probably want a degree, but they'll take you off the street..... xD

Every FW program I've interacted with wears flight suits.

Also, if you're towing a 5th wheel you're going to want a diesel. You can do it with gas but it's going to wear the crap out of your engine.

The new diesel motors are plenty reliable. Just like anything, if you take care of it it will run forever. Also, has motors get awful mileage towing and fuel is expensive.

I'm surprise that more people haven't figured that one out yet. There's also a reason why I posted those two pictures...

Started the day off with a traffic collision with extraction. It was in the middle of no where with a extended response (about an hour or so). While scanning fire we hear a eta for Mercy, ok cool. Arrived on scene and saw the two patients. 1 sitting on the concrete k-rail and the other fully immobilized. Wondering to myself why one patient is fully immobilized, the car doesn't look all that damaged. Driver fell asleep, hit the guard rail and the suv landed on top on a water barrier. Nothing too crazy, driver self extricated and the passenger was helped out by fire. Couldn't really hear the story on the passenger but visually there's no trauma, couldn't hear any assessment findings from fire. Driver has a cc of shoulder pain (from the seatbelt). Anyway, passenger is flown and enjoy route blood pressure drops and the flight crew administers txa. When we arrive at the hospital (72 miles later) we find out that the passenger has a lacerated liver. Real cool call, wish I could've heard the pass down on the passenger all I know is no one suspected an internal injury and that fire was basing it off the mechanism and that the passenger was sleeping in the back "restrained".
