Recently started working apart of a dual medic crew, my steady partner [Age 62] seems to get worked up when I refer to "out of the norm" calls as "good calls." Recent Ex: 11y/o with a bow impaled in his arm. To me, it was a good call. I had to think outside the box a little, step up my...

No, I do not like my job. I absolutely love it; the good; the bad; the ugly.
