Sometimes I have to laugh at the notes the dispatchers enter into the CAD. Today we had "64yoF...slurred speech...previous TIAs....confussed" and "2 cars still breathing."

I'm really glad those 2 cars were still breathing. I am not sure how to ventilate a KIA or a Caddy.

Now if I could only figure out what confussed is...

 

[chaz90]

How about "rectal breathing," or "pt. does not appear to be breathing but is alert"?

A convict throwing a hissy fit?

Day 2 of 911 is going just as well as day 1 went. Today had a hot return with a 3YOF auto vs ped and then a cardiac arrest with orders to stop resuscitation. So in 2 days 3 hot returns and 2 cardiac arrest, I think I am a black cloud. Time for a beer and bed.

Ended up throwing a no hitter last night. There was a fatal close to our district line that I thought we would have been sent on, but I learned that after a solid night's sleep. The station I usually work out of ran seven calls (a lot for us when transport is 40 minutes minimum), I felt kinda bad.

And then somehow I managed to nothing with my day until I had to go do EMT skills testing, which of course took almost six hours. Now I am sitting here taking another stoopid ICS course for a job interview at a place that I would rather die working at while my girlfriend kindly reminds me that we haven't seen each other in a few days.

Yup, it's a Monday.

The worst part of these overnight shifts is not having anyone to talk to

Good for you!

Brute force memorization is the only thing that got me through that class.

 

[Anjel]

Ya tons of memorization. My brain feels full.

But I now have ACLS, PHTLS, and PALS. I just need that measly EMT-P and I shall be complete.

Well, that was the first field delivery I've been a part of. It was really less gross and more rewarding than I expected.

To this day, my favorite call ever is the one field delivery I've experienced. Absolutely awesome and something I'll always remember.
