I woke up the other night to my partner lifting my chin up to stop my snoring. Lol
 
Well I just found the paramedic program I will hopefully be taking, I start the application/testing process this summer and then the program starts in January of next year!
 
And it was a slow night, one call at 6am, CANCELLED by a closer medic unit. BOOM! Perfect night of sleep.

So, you ate them all at once while sleeping (my wife does that with cheese)? What time is "between last night and this morning"? hahaha I imagine you going to bed with a pack of HDs in the fridge and waking up with the empty package under your pillow.

I had a roommate like that in the past, but with Oatmeal Creme Pies. Multiple packages utterly decimated with wrappers littering his floor in the morning and no memory of the incident except a terrible stomachache.

It's been a while, but I just did my first "fixin' to die" IFT at the new job. Kinda like riding a bike.

So my 24 hour shift morphed into a 30 hour shift when my relief got into a traffic collision on her way into work and needed to go to the ER :-/ I did briefly consider staying the entire shift and turn it into a 48...but after 15 calls the previous day (including 3 after midnight), on top of having only one day off in the last 7 days and having used my last clean uniform I was (am) exhausted, and since my partner isn't allowed to drive due to lack of EVOC, I if I tried to stay I would have quickly reached the point where I would've been simply unsafe to operate the ambulance to and from calls. Very fortunately, the guy working tomorrow was able to come in early to relieve me before we had to take what's typically our busiest ambulance out of service. Since it was the headquarters station I managed to get some brownie points from the fire captains and battalion chief (station houses the BC, Ambulance, Engine, and a Truck company) for willing to stay late
 
"Patient states she did a handful of cocaine yesterday and did 5 beer bongs. Patient states she did 4 lines of cocaine today and lost a game of beer pong". Yep, Coachella fest is in full swing.
 
Learned the three rules of dermatology in the OR.
1: If it is wet, make it dry.
2: If it is dry, make it wet.
3: If you can't do either use steroids.

Oh also got to intubate! They were really nice and willing to teach a lot.
 
Offer in on a house...
 
7000 vertical ski/hike descent of pikes peak? Excellent.

Picking up an extra shift in the city that starts at 630? That's gonna be a bad time.
