I was one exit away when you guys cancelled us :(

It would have been pointless to have you guys take any of the patients. All 3 of them should have gone POV instead of the ambulance. But instead are going to have to pay for a 70 mile transport.
 
That's why our protocol in bold states. Do Not Backboard for Mechanism alone. Lol no matter the speed of the TC if they don't meet Step 1 or Step 2 trauma criteria they get transported to any of the local.hospitals

We took our time getting back so we hit PS right at 1930. Stopped, at the summit, grabbed a drink, and checked out one of the signs off an exit. Did you know you can ride quads and dirtbikes back there? There's a bunch of trails.
 
Today my ambulance has had an OD arrest with successful resus (purposeful movement on way to helicopter prior to sedation), a degloving dune buggy accident, a peds dirtbike versus tree with a 50 mile transport, a refusal, four other random cancels, and 250 miles in driving. Enough please.

And to top it all off I left the window down when the last helicopter took off and now there is dirt everywhere.

So... in other words I'm lucky I'm neither on nights nor trauma right now?
 
So my hospital had cupcakes on the 4th of July with little American Flags in it. I casually made the remark that "I guess we should really burn these instead of throwing them away." He was rather aghast to hear that, and then stated that he had never heard of the US Flag Code.

Do people really not know these things?

I would say 50% of the population doesn't see the light of day on a regular basis. Never mind know what the flag code is. Love the U.S. but everyday I seem to find a reason to be ashamed of the society in one way or another!

Same for us. We pretty much use the NEXUS criteria.

Yeah I heard that. We were passing Washington when you guys said you were down the hill. I was wondering what took you guys soo long haha.

And I honestly have no clue about riding there.

Figured you'd enjoy a day trip out there during the winter time on your bike. Apparently, there's a trail that goes down to a canal or something too. You can camp out there as well as long as it's within 100 feet of the road / trail.

Our spots are ocotillo wells (right by the salton sea) and Johnson valley up in the 29 palms area.

I want to say we have gone riding off of red cloud road but it was so long ago I don't remember it.
 
A month of vacation officially done. Now to start a month and a half of FMLA. I'm going to go crazy [emoji52]
 
Sounds like your having fun!
 
Started my A&P class today. From the time we left lab to walk to the lecture classroom... 3 people dropped the class lol

If I was able to go out and do vacation-like stuff, I would be. Once this new baby is able to go outdoors and do :censored::censored::censored::censored:, it'll be much more fun. Luckily I've got a couple of classes coming up to help this month and a half go by quicker.
 
scheduled a test date with remsa...:ph34r:
uncertainty is at an all time high
 
Good luck!!

Saw my ortho for my 90 day follow up today. Sounds like October 1st is gonna be the tentative cleared back to duty date.

The end is in sight!!
 
Just got notification that boundtree was sending my company some backordered supplies, but I didn't remember having anything still out on backorder.

Called them up and it was 2 250ml bags of NS, from an order I placed back in January.

Thus continues the most ridiculous med shortage.
 
Price to fix my truck went from $1,650 when I got an estimate done at the body shop to $2,100 after my insurance adjuster went to the shop. Guess I'll figure out why the price jumped so much in a week to 10 days.
