Rough shift?
Click to expand...

Just lots of pain management calls. Didn't have any fatalities and I felt like I actually made a difference in some people's lives, I'd say that's a pretty awesome shift personally! I'm big on prehospital pain management. It's one of the few things that we do that can make a difference in that person's life right this instant. Plus, if I ever hurt myself and called an ambulance I sure hope the medic would try to make me more comfortable. I'd be pretty heated if they didn't, too be honest.

I've run a lot more calls than 9 in 12 hours, just used a lot of narcs today. Actually was dispatched to 14 but was cancelled en route or diverted 5 times.

Maxed out my protocol on a dislocated shoulder, had a 80kg elderly women with a low thoracic to high lumbar fx secondary to a mechanical GLF that 50 of fent sent her to the moon, a very agitated gentleman on methamphetamine that got darted, recurrent seizure pt that got a fair amount of versed (wouldn't call them status but close), CVA transfer, a gentleman that tripped and for all intents and purposes scalped himself on a bar stool on the way down as well as a few other random ones. Also used all the zofran in the ambulance and in my bag.

7 out of 9 were mine.

Best part was we started off the day by sending an upstanding citizen to the drunk tank at 0930. Blew a .32.

Sounds like an interesting shift!
 
I've never been at a blackjack table that rewarded such ludicriously bad play. (Un)Fortunately, that included my terrible play.

Well this is my job for today. Free medical clinic. 90 dentist chairs doing everything from cleaning to extrications. White tents in the back is for medical and vision is in the next building.

(Not a HIPAA issue due to the fact it's a free clinic and I am just stand-by in case something happens).
 
Intoxicated male, parks new F-250, lifted, nice rims and wheels, tools and kit in the bed, in the ghetto at nightfall. Unconscious, responsive to pain, windows down, A/C running. Keys, new Iphone, $1k+ in cash. We arrive, find him before the locals approach. Once in the ambulance, I ask him who I can contact to secure his (expensive) property. So do the police. He becomes belligerent and talks to us like servants, with "pig", lots of profanity, and a "take me home, b-word".

His truck was left locked, with his most expensive tools in the cab, parked where we found it. Chances of it having made it through the night unmolested are slim.

I feel like a better person than I could have been, and I am glad for that. But what an ***!

Where might this truck be parked at? :ph34r:
 
If you had to pick one, cake or cannolis?

Both from nice bakery.

Don't worry a cannoli is pretty disgusting, it's like eating McDonald's mayonnaise.
