Our hospital system got attacked with the ransomware that is going around. What a mess. Being hospital based, we lost our EPCRs. I really miss them. Paper charting sucks.

I give it all to my wife and hope.;)

So very true. I am not a fan of it if we are transferring a pt. that has been on it for some time in an ICU. It takes a while to make the proper adjustment to keep them comfortable.

I found out quickly to learn the main players in the supply chain. The less people involved the better.

In our area a PCP is going to send them to the ER. Just as well avoid another stop.

The cops cleared the minute EMS left. They knew it was not a good place to stay. I would have treated it just like an active shooter scene. Go in get the pt. and move to a safer spot.

First day back to work since the riots in Minneapolis. Almost feels like we have become a war zone. Hennepin EMS pulls into the ER and two National Guard soldiers in full battle dress get out of the ambulance and stand guard.

They were requested Code 2 by PD will he was still conscious. When he went unconscious they were upgraded to Code 3.

The one week of the year that a manager is at the base to chat with staff.

Makes me think about going to the drive in. They have all disappeared in my area.

I'm headed down that road in the very near future. Today she said I had to do something with my hair. She came to the rescue with hair spray.

So true. My wife who is retired stays at home watching CNN non-stop with their damn death tickers. (she did the same thing with 911). Her anxiety level is increasing. Hoping for warmer weather so she will get outside and start interacting with the horses more.

I'm glad you are sticking around. I have always enjoyed your comments. When the COVID-19 started to rearing it's head outside of China, I was concerned but thought I would be ok even if I got it. I am 60 with no medical conditions. I was sure if I got it I would quickly be done with it. But...

Same thing is happening in Minnesota. Our ambulance calls have dropped 75%. The hospitals are cutting staff like crazy. Just wondering how many hospitals will go out of business?

Now the cops are told to avoid EMS in my area. There has only been one case in our county. One would would think we have been rolling around in Fentanyl. We have always had a very positive relationship with them. But that is quickly heading down the tubes.

Ohio and Illinois closing restaurants and bars. I don't thing there is any way the country can avoid recession with so many people not getting paid. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/487684-illinois-ohio-closing-all-bars-restaurants-in-response-to-coronavirus

The first thing that pops into my head are the scenes in Outbreak of the National Guard rolling in. I'm sure if travel gets restricted that will ramp up the anxiety level of people. Even if it is best for the population.

Looks like Minnesota is dumping all regulations on it's ambulances if things get bad. https://www.ems1.com/ems-products/personal-protective-equipment-ppe/articles/minnesota-issues-5-day-emergency-suspension-of-ambulance-services-memo-RVIilYFeqaqAyhmz/

Wondering when a TV station will start playing episodes of The Last Ship? It might have the same effect as Orson Well's War Of The Worlds.
