We really weren't out that far East, just at the coves 32 station.
Yuppp, there's no policy saying you cant go in like there is in PS5 yet. And with the way the heat is, I'm sure management would be okay with it as long as you meet your chute times.

Don't get too excited...
39 closed, 32 is open.
And what are you guys doing out east?! We always stayed in PS! So much more fun in PS.

We ran one call in PS and the patient wanted to go to EMC (guy still had electrodes on him from DRMC). Then we got pushed out east because of who is dispatching today.
Fire station 39 built a brand new station so we closed down our little deployment from there and moved it to the old fire station 32 (they also have a new station). There are also talks of having units deploy from our new Washington/10 comfort station.
Wayne is working on potentially getting a 24 in 32. Its going out on a bid though, so seniority is needed.

I'm part time so I can't bid. I honestly don't think I would bid on a 24 hour car there. The station is way too slow.
That's what makes it a good 24 hour car. You run a few calls, but you can hang out outside of an ambulance with a TV, video games, and internet. It's like a normal day off!

Lesson of the day. If you have liver disease from a lifetime of drinking, and the varices to go with it, don't drink. If the last time you drank, you vomited blood, don't drink again. Because of you do, you'll rupture those varices and dump 2 liters of blood on the sidewalk and cause yourself an overall bad day. Just saying.
I've not seen that much blood, spread out over such a large area that was not trauma related. The dude was small too and likely only had 5 or so liters of blood to begin with.

I hate slow shifts. I love running 8+ calls in 12 hours.

7-8 is the magic number. When you start getting in the 10-14 range in 12 hours it starts getting frustrating. Especially if they're all mine.
I have a tendency to be one psychoglycemic.
Apparently one of our ambulances was in an accident while transporting a patient, non-emergent, tonight. From what I hear everyone is ok. I sure hope so.

I just had a hypertensive patient who wasn't feeling well... and only spoke Greek.
I was half tempted to just spray her with windex and call it good.
