Almost missed the HoG reference.

The delivery of good medical care is to do as much nothing as possible.

He isn't the yellow man unless he resits all attempts to kill him and proceeds to live for another several months.

I've decided the only sure fire way to get over my ex is to take a job in the most dangerous EMS system I can find. That's right folks I'm moving to Detroit :)

In ages past, people like BBG joined the French Foreign Legion and surrounded themselves with other male broken hearts and camels!

I suppose this is progress.

All's quiet on Thursday night. We'll see how long this lasts.

Reading about Sgarbossa's criteria is giving me a headache.

Pretty sure i am about to have a stroke. At my college we use the newest book, newest AHA standards, and newest NREMT standards but the students have to get and use a workbook that was written up in 2005 (it lists NG tube placement as a BLS skil...)

The EMT book wants the students to do an assessment differently then NREMT. The workbook wants them to do a different assessment from what NREMT and the new EMT book want.

Going in tomorrow to talk to the director of the program to hopefully get the old workbooks thrown out.

So what about medic class then, BBG? Are you going to get into a class up there, once you are all settled in?

In the car this morning, with my son:

Son: Mom, do you know how to tell a fish is still ok to eat?
Me: Eat it as soon as you catch it?
S: Well.....yes, but what do you look at?
M: The gills
S: But what color should they be if the fish is still ok to eat?
M: Pink or red
S: Right! If they are blue, then the fish is sick. It probably has heart disease.

This was only part of the conversation, which consisted of various other fishing and hunting questions. He is going deer hunting for the first time this weekend, and is just a little bit excited.

Sorry the Detroit thing was just a joke I'm not really moving.....yet :) I'm still in medic school here in Texas. Although the reason for doing it seems to have escaped me at the moment :/

I do think there is a move in my future though. I've been stationary too long. I'm getting bored and when I get bored I find trouble to get into.

Not a single tone today.

I am hoping tonight isn't going to be the "big one"....we are due for the seemingly annual multi car pile up on the interstate.

Oh well... I start at 1800 and am on until 0600.
