I love my Chevy. Little 2007 Chevy Aveo 5 in cherry red. She's my little trooper!

No, I don't. I chalk it up to being a college student, though, more than I blame it on EMS. Though EMS definitely doesn't help. My diet consists mostly of Fruit Loops and pizza from Little Ceasar's. I try not to drink coffee or go out to fast food more than twice a week, but my willpower is...

I thought I was hallucinating when I saw the little white dots floating on my screen... Nope! Turns out it's even snowing in EMTLife!

We don't have Publix, Winn Dixie, Dunkin Donuts, Timmy Horton's, or liquor in grocery stores/gas stations in Colorado. We did, however, get our no-liquor-on-Sundays laws lifted on July 6th of this year! Woo! Nebraska has liquor in it's gas stations and grocery stores. I think I spent a good 30...

Wal-Mart adventure in Omaha? You betcha!

Happy Hanukkah to everyone! And of course, a very merry Christmas :)

I didn't go to Wal-Mart for the first time until I was 16, and I'd been living in the states for over 10 years! They don't have one where I grew up because everyone would picket and boycott due to the "gross human rights violations." I felt pretty guilty the first time I went... Then I...

Speaking of our "lives"... Photos from a recent Wally World adventure! (Clearly we can see here which one of us is worth the most! Haha I'm on the right...) Um... No explanation needed.

^ You and me both, Aidan! Let me know how the paramedic to medical school thing works for you, because I hear it's harder than just busting through those 4 years of undergrad and the MCAT with no patient contact experience. But that also may be the nay-sayers in my area, too :P I didn't want...

Further proof we all need a life :P

I gots me a holter monitor! Had it for an hour, hate it already...

I've learned that B leads to projectile vomiting like putting a finger over a loaded garden hose. No thanks. A all the way. (And I am a BLS provider, but basics in my area can push Narcan IN with IV certification.)

Not really anything cool. Just a very minor MVA, a bunch of verbal disturbances, and one arrest. It was fascinating to see how the system works and to hang out with the officers, but they advised me to come back on a weekend if I wanted to see anything worth while. Have fun!

Did an LEO ride tonight. At the beginning of the night, the cop wouldn't even talk to me. By the end, he was telling his partner I was "hella cool." Even though it was a slow night, I consider it successful. I love having fun people to ride with.

We've cleared c-spine in the field. I checked off "ALS only" because all of the trucks are mixed paramedic and basic or double paramedic, so they always have the last say. I have to say, I've seen a few injured patients come into the ER with cleared c-spines and thought, "really?" Like the...

Sasha... What's a pickle pouch? I googled it and only got pickle-in-a-pouch. Are they good? I've never had a pouched pickle! In my front pocket (of my jacket)... 2 Chapsticks (cherry and strawberry), cell phone, $16 in 2 dollar bills!

I have my best friend's house key, my mail key, my car key, my dad's house key. I don't have my OWN house key yet because we're moving! Yay! (No, not yay, I hate moving.) As for baubles, I have the "whacker-ish" CPR face shield. I swear, it's the only piece of EMS gear I carry off-duty! My...

I hate you, Sahsa. And I mean that in the most jealous way possible, as it is -10 degrees here. Grrr. Here's the deal. I'm going to fly down to Florida until March and just stay with you. Lay out a sleeping bag... You're going to take me on ride-alongs and we're going on adventures to...

Haha Sapphyre, I'm most definitely a night person. I was on 0600 to 1800 this past semester on the weekends, and I about passed out on most of my partners if they didn't pump me full of caffeine first :P. Are you on shift? I have a house showing at 10:30 this morning... I really should make...

That's the last time I ever take a nap! It's 3:30 am and I'm pretty darn awake. Whoever thinks Gilly is lying and will most definitely be taking a nap tomorrow, raise your hand. *raises hand* ...Grumble grumble...
