the 100% directionless thread

Geez, nearly twelve hours have elapsed since someone posted to this thread; I believe that may well be a record... :P
 
a week later after I was bit, it's uglier in person. It's bigger than a golf ball lol

Passed my NREMT-I written and my medic practicals finally got transferred over to the application! Should get all the paperwork in by the end of the week, then it's time to apply for CO EMS licensure
 
Sounds like everyone else is having just as much fun as I have been
having. Over the past 90 hours I have had about 9 hours of sleep.
And twice I have been covered pretty much all down my front in someone
elses stomach contents, worked a full arrest on a 30 year old guy, had
to remove said guy from the second story of his apartment via a
staircase with three 90* turns nesscetating the removal of the
banaster by the PD and had to wash out the back of the amb with a
garden hose before being washed down myself. Travelled probably 400
miles, got a cold, got an infection in my gum that hurts like heck
right now and focrcing me into the dentist this afternoon, I am on
shift tonight, tomarrow and tomarrow night. I was supposed to go
skiing Thursday, but the hill is getting rain right now, etc, etc,
etc...........

But I guess I am still breathing so I can't really complain since
several of my most recent patients couldn't even say that.
 
Jt: congrats!

I'm prone to those. I've learned that I can keep them stabilized pretty much indefinitely with a half and half mix of peroxide and water as mouthwash, along with occasionally rinsing them with saltwater. They really suck.

sounds like your no call stent is starting to compete with the one i had about a month or so ago....18.5 days NO calls. but the tone Gods have more than made up for it ;)
 
Working for a volly has its downsides. Going on 2 weeks for medical, going on a month for a fire.
 
yeah...
 
I'm liking tonight. Time and a half for a regularly scheduled shift. Gotta love being put on call and then called about 5 minutes later to come on in. And I'm working ER tonight instead of floor, so I'm even happier :D
 
GGrr... Almost as soon as I posted that last post, I got told to follow a pt up to the medsurg floor. Apparently getting him meant we pushed the floor over it's census for techs, so I was floating to fill in

WOW! What is with all the people inside the hot zone without being packed up?!?!? I mean, one guy dosen't even have full turnouts on and he is sticking his head in the doorway! Then there is that gal who looks like she might be a cop holding the hoseline right outside the door, no PPE whatsoever!

Apparently they have never been teached about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQWNCeCBvQ
