When the doctor looks at you shambling along to the treatment room and says "Wow! You do not look good at all!" You know you're getting admitted.

Me too. She's pretty tough. We were joking about my starting the line after the nurse missed.
Shes in ultrasound now... And frankly, I'm more upset about this than she is. Of course, the Ativan she got may have something to do with that.

I hope everything turns out ok!
In other news I had a realization today: 16 hour shifts in a busy system are way too long. Day started off as me being a cab driver with a bunch of ALS runs out of the gate, then ended with a bunch of BLS/ILS stuff and writing 8 RMAs for the same accident :wacko:
Also: my feet + duty boots +16 hours of go go go = a wonderfully interesting smell that rivals a few of my patients from earlier

Have a meeting tomorrow morning with someone who wants my help in revisiting a previously failed attempt to setup a County Incident Management & Mapping Team. I tried once to get the powers that be to support the intergration of GIS into Emergency Management and build an organization that could provide command, GIS, and logistical support for any local incident... but I was before my time in this backwards county. Never mind that it is a fact of life in many other areas... Now it seems that losing grant money provided specifically for Public Safety GIS has them interested (use the grant or lose it)...
Now I can't sleep...

Couldnt reverse into the driveway, had to go down the very end and turn around
The neighbour called, seemed nice and genuine enough, had called but nobody answered the phone, said nobody seemed to be home for the last week, so in the window, coppers are handy for things like that
Tiny place, sparsely furnished, tidy enough but thats probably from lack of use more than anything; fridge pretty bare, no photos on the wall, no cards from the holidays, no sign that anybody auctually lives in the place
Found in bed, status zero, probably for at least that week the neighbour was on about. The place is cold, still, lifeless, in the bedroom is the same, no signs of personalisation, no photos, no nothing, cold, impersonal, dark, lifeless
Makes you wonder how somebody can live like that. There is life and there is death I suppose, makes you wonder if anybody will notice or really care. the mind boggles how somebody in this world can drop dead and nobody notices for over a week and the sad state that the lives of some of the people we meet take, how somebody can live like that.
No wine or dancing, no hard romancing ... since the new stryker came anyway, sure as hell better be not be any rockin on the truck only had two jobs all night, its just on five and I dont want to hear no rooster
I'm goin down til probably well after the sun comes up mmmk
It's a funny old world

I generally like movie reviews on The Escapist, and they gave it a good review.

Picture if you will, a 350+ lb patient going home to her second floor apartment.
Me: is she able to ambulate?
Nurse: no.
Me: are you able to walk up stairs?
Pt: no.
-10 minutes later-
Me: how far are you able to walk?
Pt: just a few steps
Me: are you able to climb stairs?
Pt: no.
Repeat variations of it three times. While waiting near an hour for FD for assist.
Douche Fire Medic: can you try walking sweetheart? You're heavy and those stairs are steep.
Pt: I can try...
Pt ambulates up stairs with no issue.
Me: ...............
Fire: you didn't need us. Next time ask if they can walk
Me: .................
Fire: really... Ambulate before carry.
Me: ......... *slinks off to ambulance*
Me: is she able to ambulate?
Nurse: no.
Me: are you able to walk up stairs?
Pt: no.

In the course of 1 semester of teaching EMT skills at the college I go from a volunteer instructor, to a paid substitute instructor, and I just learned that I am now a paid primary instructor. And still the youngest skills instructor that is at the college.
