To be completely accurate, add state troopers and subtract their stomach contents. Sounds like you got the gist of it though.

You know, in 3 years of EMS I've never had a raunchy code 50...
crap I probably shouldn't have said that. at least I won't be back to work until late fall, early winter so they'll be cold rather than cooking in the high desert heat.

You just came on for the day shift, so it's early but it's hot and humid already. Been really hot for a few days.
As you finish your rig check and coffee, you get banged out for a teenager attempted suicide.
Address is only a minute away. It's a tall, narrow guest house behind the main house in a dense urban area.
Enter the house and you can tell immediately, the suicide "attempt" was successful......
The cops wave you to the back of the house, where you climb up the narrow, pull-down attic stairs, and the stench becomes overwhelming. It must be 120 degrees up here.
Turn around at the top of the stairs to see a 17 year old kid hanging by his neck from a nylon rope tied to the rafters. The room is dark aside from the sun shining through the small slat window right onto the body. Looks exactly like a scene from a movie. Smells worse than you can even imagine.
Every time I hear people talk about rotted corpses I see the whole thing like it was yesterday.

You've lucked out. I've seen more than my fair share, and like Halothane's, most are still very vivid. For instance, I can no longer eat jello. Have fun trying to envision what that corpse looked like.
I had a call for unknown medical aid and walked into a very small trailer on a hot day to find a large man that had been dead for a couple days. Those smells are hard to get rid of sometime especially when something makes you remember it.
One medic was telling me he went to a apartment complex on a call and could smell the odor of a dead body from the parking lot, I guess it was so bad that before they even got into the room his partner started to throw up and couldn't go any further. When he walked in the body was completely covered with maggots.

Finally was able to take a shower. That was amazing. Never realized how much I'd miss showering until I wasn't allowed to lol. Found out I've got 5 separate incisions rather than the 2-3 they had originally said. She protected my tattoo pretty damn well though!

Thanks DE. Hoping to get in. Just trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for school...
Yeah for showers! And looks like they did a great job working with the tattoo.
Cool pictures... Wonder if the bird is salvageable?

Is that duct tape holding the paneling on the nose?
PHI put duct tape over the ID numbers on one side, and the logos on both sides and under the nose.
