I got good news too! They are reopening the paramedic position!

Well. Apparently the scaphoid wasn't as healed as I thought.
Felt a pop in my hand a few days back at work. Extremely painful since then. Finally called in today to my surgeon. Dr thinks I displaced it, or at the very least I caused one of the pins to back out of position
I'm shocked that I would even be able to do that at 5 months post op. Either option means another surgery. xrays next week to confirm.
Well... All I can say is damn. Ha
I never thought the scaphoid would be the nuisance compared to the complete detachment of a femoral head. So far it has been.

CA's water problem is starting to get on my nerves. This drought water restriction stuff just seems ridiculous. Idc how much we conserve, the water will still decrease and disappear; so what are they doing to fix it? Sounds like nothing

What they will do is turn the area to a desert and then tell the people there is still no water and force everyone to move so the growers can still grow food and the fish in the delta will live

I think there is a surgical PA here in the forum if you have any questions.

*cough cough*

I don't have a cough and I thought that treating cough wasn't normally part of that specialty...

Now then, I've got this cyst...

spied this...thing today. Walked out of the barber shop, got into my pickup and looked up and it facing me and though "What on earth is a Hall Ambulance doing slumming it down here in Covina?" Then I saw it wasn't a mod and no lights so I figured it was a utility van at a supplier, then I drove around the parking lot and saw it.....somehow I don't think that cab belongs to Medic Van 71 anymore lol

 

[Jim37F]

argh.....ok how do I fix the orientation so the pic isn't sideways??? (I uploaded it from my phone)

While both have pretty tenuous blood supply, I think the scaphoid has the worst blood supply of any bone in the body whereas the femoral head has decent supply as long as the circumflex artwries are intact.

What a huge pile garbage. I want to drive it so bad!

Wow. So those "7 series models only about 5" were the only ones bought from aev (all are leader) and we're recently remounted at aev with new chassis. I guess that's what aev does with the old stuff? I wonder if hall knows.

 

[Handsome Robb]

Wow...just wow.

If I were the owner of Hall and I found out about this Id be having a very serious conversation with the company I went through to purchase ambulances.

I've avoided AVN so far.
I got another call today, he talked to his PA (the one that's actually been following me since the surgery. I haven't seen the surgeon since the actual operation), the PA informed him of my progress so far and he had time to look at the progression of xrays. after looking at the fx line, it seems more likely that I backed the retaining pin out. which should be a whole lot simpler to fix. The actual fx looks like it was healed too far along to displaced, especially while doing something menial like texting (yep. Thats what I was doing when this happened).
Either way. Xrays should tell all. Just gonna be a long weekend.

Having a critical trauma patient and having to ground transport them to the trauma center because it's too windy for the airship is not as fun as it sounds. Would have given TXA if it was in our system this month and not next.

They should have started to be more conservative on water years ago. Rumor has it that they want to build pipelines and take water from the great lakes.

If that doesn't perfectly sum up all that is wrong with CA politics, I don't know what does.

 

[ViolynEMT]

I go back to the Dr. today for my arm. I'm hoping I get cleared so I can get back out there!

While working 80 hour work weeks has been fun, it's time for a real vacation (EMS on the Hill Day was a work trip, I swear!).

Denver->Dublin->London->Boston->Home

I've heard rumors that we may not be getting it, just fire... Not from CES though, from another medic.

Our medics have required training on it that is due by next month.

Huh. That's weird. lol. I wonder why she thought this then.
