I was until I met my girlfriend, then I just kinda stopped. I used to go nuts on games like Forza Motorsport, any realistic racing games. I did pick up a controller to play a little Modern Warfare 2 when I spent the night visiting a college. Other than that I can't remember last time I played.

I went into the feild wanting to be able to help people. I still want to be able to help people, but now every call is a learning experience to me on my path towards medical school.

Last year I nearly broke my nose skiing. I had finally taken the jump and went up to a black diamond. Unfortunately, it was slushy and icy that day. About two thirds of the way down the hill, the snow just goes to crap and I lose control of my speed. Now at the bottom of the hill it flattens...

I'm a full time student but I manage to work on a volly

One call a night, man I wish we had that many

I'm afraid that might be my Thanksgiving :sad:. I don't know, but I refuse to wear decent clothes until this streak ends. Last three times our department went through streaks like this, they were broken by codes and someone got covered in vomit each time.

Dang, I wish I had half of the dancing ability of some of those people.

I'm wondering right now what the department's record is

Somehow I knew those would be brought up in this thread

I'm just saying I never think about them coming at inopportune times unless I haven't had one in a long time.

I haven't had a fire OR a medical call in over a week. Am I the only one that when the tones have not dropped in the longest time begins to expect them only at the most inopportune times? "Lets see I'm watching TV so the tones will not drop right now. But I really need to take a shower, the...

Now I have the opposite problem: I'm still in high school, so alot of the more experienced folks originally over looked what I saw in a patient. I had a medic tell me, in front of the patient, that I was going nuts: I was trying to take a pulse on a patient (no electronics for the trainee...

Hear Hear!!

Yeah I'm not gonna have a defined shift unless you pay me. No way! Only time our department ever takes count of okay who is avaliable when is holidays. Dont want to have all but 3 guys at their mom's house a state over then two of those guys not show up, leaving me the only medical left in our...

Hence the advantage of volly: "No! I dont wanna go on a call, I have a date in an hour. He he he, I think theyll survive without me this once ^_^."

I got grilled in front of the entie department once because I always somehow bump the air horn climbing in and out of the engines :blush:, not good coming back from a fire at 3 in the morning when everyone is asleep. But seriously in front of the entire county thats a load of BS. Ah well it will...

Its a close call, but Id have to say go with brain injury because in my honest opinion, in EMS the best way to treat serious infections is high flow gasoline. I just feel that there is more that can be done in the feild to prevent brain injury than treaing infections.

Im sorry

When I was still in training I was told by my instructor that this has actually killed FFs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1Qj75pbl8o

Well I can't tell you much about the actual EMS go because I am connected up with a fire service and rarely work with an EMS company. The last person we had injured on a medical call actually slammed their finger in the truck door. More realistically people will pull muscles moving heavy people...
