the 100% directionless thread

I'm sick. And in class until Saturday. With physical fitness testing this afternoon. Ugh.

So you failed in parenting rule number 1. When the kids move out you move away leaving no forwarding address. :rofl:

Rule two. Change the locks and turn their room into a studio or fill it with cement :)

First major Trauma of my ride outs.

ATV rollover, 1.5 hours to a level one trauma center, no birds available. I had a hard time telling if it was me or my patient that pooped.

Oooh, ATV rollovers are always fun
 
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Happy Memorial Day everyone, may we all remember its real meaning.
 
I just got dispatched for a pt complaining of gingivitis.

This is why I couldn't do EMS. I would be tempted to give the pt a piece of my mind.

"Sir/Ma'am. It's a good thing you called us. We're flying in a helicopter for you. Local PD are closing the streets around your neighborhood now. This transport will only cost you ten grand."
 
She was transported for it yesterday also. Lady is nutty, and there was no reasoning with her. She ended up in triage, which was packed.
 
Why is it that the people stroking out have to give me the most grief? Depending on this outcome, I just might be able to have a night that didn't include someone dying. I left work yesterday to have a grim reaper doll sitting on top of my car, courtesy of my. Co workers. My nickname as of yet has been the angel of death. Haven't had many calls, but the few legitimate I have had all ended up passing inside of 24 hours after I "interacted" with them.
 
Darn. We had a B-25 plane fly over the airport dropping 3,000 red and white flowers in honor of the military troops that have passed away. I of course had to be out of town when that happened <_<

Unfortunately most of the "real calls" we get are going to be pretty bad off when we get there. Truly sick people tend to wait till the last possible moment to call 911.

I ran a call like that a few years ago, but it came in as unknown problem. Asked the patient why he called for an ambulance and his response was, "I don't want an ambulance. I wanted the coroner and they sent you instead!" He was a hospice patient that died a couple of days later.
 
Disneyland tomorrow, erhm, today?
 
My face is getting sore from the threads lately causing facepalms.
 
Who's got a sunburn? I've got a sunburn. Ouch. With that said, I'd rather spend today the exact way I did than be at work.

No complaints, plus it fixed my trucker tan from working so damn much.
