Good work, lights!
 
We got our new toughbooks today. Now we have 2 in the rig, one for MDT and one for the PCR. By the end if next week, our wifi should be up and running in all the rigs :)

Congrats man!!

Ya'll are making me jealous being able to test so soon. I'm still waiting for my director to review all my paperwork and authorize me for the National Registry written. Practicals are on 7/13.

Ooh no... How is it working out so far?

And dang. We just found out yesterday that YouTube wasn't blocked on our computer. That probably changed.
 
:cool: And since three of our four instructors are SWAT team medics, we did a two days of TCCC this past month. So much fun. And they did this "combat challenge for us too. We started off with sprinting 50 yards, jumping through the bed of a pickup truck and then sprint another 50 feet. There we had to grab a 200 pound rescue randy, pick him up and carry him 25 yards. Then another 50 yard sprint. Then we had to establish a patent IV and secure it, draw up and administer 2 ccs from a 4 cc vial. Then a low crawl behind some short cover to the airway dummy, place a king airway and ventilate him for 30 seconds. Low crawl to another rescue randy, apply a CAT tourniquet and drag him 10 meters to good cover at the finish line. All while the instructors painted us with automatic airsoft guns if part of us came above the cover. The whole thing was done in boots and wearing a full weight vest.

It was pretty fun. Then we spent the afternoon learning basic (very basic) room clearing and hostage rescue.

Lots of fun.
 
I got another stork pin today :) Me and my partner are now the proud owners of pink storks :)
 
47 hours. I have worked 47 hours so far this week at church, preparing for our Vacation Bible School. We expect about 250 kids next week and we have decorated the place from top to bottom.

We should be out by mid afternoon tomorrow and I am taking my kids to the pool.

Now I can go back to my easy job at work.

4 outriggers on that lift, I repositioned it about 40 times, which means I rolled those feet up and down 320 times.

Ish. :)
 
Skyjackes are fun to shake back and forth at 40' up :D

Right up until the point they put your eye out.

Happened to my uncle, an electrician, that had one tip over on him. Lost his eye, had a stoma placed for a while, and he spent about 4 months in the hospital.

And 2 weeks later, it will be locked. Because someone will look at too much porn.

We had one at the high school. It was common practice for stage crew to have 1 guy up, and loosen the outriggers, then move the jack a few feet, and put them back down.

Then again, I did most of my tech work in the TV studio. I used a rigging cart w/ a 6' ladder, and only had to get something bigger a couple of times.

I'm gonna come and ride with you. You've seen more stuff than I have... and you've been a medic for what, a month? NOT FAIR.






congrats, though!

They have to keep the wifi on. If we don't have wifi then the whole MDT system would be a waste of money (a lot of money 25+ toughbooks). And we also have to do mandatory training that has to be able to be done while we are on duty.
 
Who in their right mind thinks it is a good idea to raise and lower the tail board of the ambulance with their bare hand? Ugh.

It's not porn... it's investigating anatomical variety.
