EMS week is coming up. Prepare yourselves for all the EMT/Medic memes and the always famous "what do you do for a living? ooh well I keep people from dying" posts on facebook.

Oh stars, UMBRELLA-GATE. All over FB and Huffington for the last four days.

Sometimes, Marines and Soldiers hold umbrellas. For the President. Sometimes they might even help him open jars. It's the end of the world.

You mean a subordinate soldier might be assigned to do things for a commanding officer? Like, in this case, the commander in chief? What's next... outrage that the President's children gets a special protection detail?


What I'm really looking forward to is the IRS-Gate derp. However, I do agree that if Obama had any idea that that shenanigans was going on that impeachment is justified.

What is your sister posting on FB about all of this? :rofl:
 
Know what? You guys can stuff it in your ear. EMS week means that I get (have) to stand up and be recognized at church on Sunday, and then the Deacons give me and the other EMS personnel King sized Snickers as a gift. KING SIZE SNICKERS.
 
Random drug test. After all this coffee I may be screwed.

"Sir, you've tested positive for hazelnut coffee-mate".
 
It's a day off, 710 and I am awake. And wearing a tie. Must be time to finally walk and get my diploma!
 
"Ma'am, have you ever been on CPAP?"

"What's that?"

"That mask with the wind in your face."

"Give. Me. That. Mask."

Nope. Just drew the short straw today.

I worked as a medic at a water park, and I was frequently selected for the "random" drug test, along with the food service manager, aquatic services manager and a few others. While waiting in line to pee, I remerked one day, 'Its kinda funny how they keep testing us, isn't it?" One of the other guys said, "If we tested the ride ops, we'd never be able to open the park."

True story.

III Corps requires 500% urinalysis testing every quarter, the easiest way to get it us test every day for a week straight.
 
Day shift is awesome, off today, ot 0700-1900 tomorrow in Yukon, then 4.5 hours 0900 to 1330 at a kid's fair with OT and a $20/hr bonus for $43.04/hour...Im ok with that.
 
Well I'm excited. At our monthly con-ed meeting we were just told that we're going to continuous compression CPR, effective immediately. We're doing some bizarre thing where we're supposed to ventilate with a BVM during compressions rather than passive oxygenation with a NRB, but it's still definitely a step in the right direction. The only strange thing is they only mentioned it at this last con-ed for only one of the four shifts and the others will hear about it after the summer is over. Progress is progress though!

About time. We've got a "pit crew" training plan for the BLS people put together, but politics are slowing the roll.
