SOB and chest pain and you know, add some obesity on top of that since I only got 5 hours of sleep.

It was a guy stung by a swarm of bees. Unconscious when the wife called 911. Neighbor had an epi pen and jammed him with it. Alert and talking when we got there. Bleeding from big hole in leg.

It was nothing. Pulled a weekend daytime no hitter during the summer at a resort-ish station.

Sounds like a trip. My record for a heroin OD flophouse remains 3. Every room we went into revealed a new respiratory/cardiac arrest.

Do you really run dialysis that often?

We only have a few dialysis patients, and unless you're :censored::censored::censored::censored:listed by dispatch, you won't get em.

Gotta love punitive dispatching.

From what I know we only have a handful of dialysis patients, I just happen to get them

That's no fun. Sounds like a similar situation to my company. I find dialysis centers can be a total emotional drain. Though as long as the ambulance necessity is truly there, they are easy calls where you are absolutely making a difference in someone's life.

Don't you budget for donuts for dispatch?

Every three months or so, take an appropriate amount in. Your life improves immensely.
