Just got to work and the others crews informed us the crew we are relieving will be at least 1-2 hours due to going on an emergency transfer. There are no spare trucks tonight. Awesomeness.

I live close to Colton in San Bernardino. The parts of Colton that are closer to Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, and Riverside are nicer than the parts that are closer to Rialto and Fontana. Plus there's good mini-golf at Fiesta Village in Colton.

I am not ashamed to say it... I just yelled at the radio...
When dispatching units to a vehicle accident, there is no need to end the dispatch with the words, "There are children involved." Who cares!?!? Is that supposed to make you respond faster? Abandon proper code 3 driving techniques? Are we saying that this call should be treated differently than if the involved parties were elderly and were therefore expendable? Do dispatchers feel that certain people are more deserving of care? Does the standard of care change with age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or tax bracket? "70 year old involved... nay, lets finish our pasta first..." "7 year old involved... OH MY GOD... MOVE MOVE MOVE..."
Rant finished...

In the ED doing clinicals.
I was watching them set a kids arm.
It took 140mg of propofol to daze him enough that he wasn't screaming.
13 y.o and 90 pounds. It was interesting.

My city gets a decent amount of shooting, I just somehow never get dispatched to them. No, when there are multiple 5 car MVCs dispatched within minutes of each other, I get sent on the abd pain x 4 days.
Our dispatch is fond of saying "This might upgrade to priority 1". Don't tell me what it MIGHT do, tell me what it is. Really, the only difference between 1 and 2 is an extra 2 minutes of response time before being 'late'.

It is, or it was. There were versions for multiple platforms. However they pulled the app a few months ago for a redesign. I got an e-mail today saying the new website was up and there were apps for your computer and mobile device. Problem is, I can't find ANYTHING for a mobile device. I'm trying to figure out if I'm blind or there are no apps for phones.
