Nothing like ice cold sweet tea on a hot day.

Hmm.. they've been calling me to interview for a medic spot down there, maybe I should finally call them back so I can bug you :P

That would be interesting. Do it! Medic on a 911 rig...
 
So... I failed the PAT today... was told the most likely reason (HR jumped too high for the standards) is cause I've essentially been traveling on and off the last three days and am severely exhausted and dehydrated. Gonna rest and down water today and have a retest tomorrow at 1030 before I head out of town.
 
Or maybe you're out of shape :( Lazy bum, get to work and get in shape!

I was dumb and ran 4 miles today instead of drinking nice ice cold sweet tea. Don't even have any for afterward so I ended up drinking warm water. :(

Throw a little ginger in the water and it will taste really good and not give side cramps after being hot. Of course, something tasting good is all in your perspective. B)

The best water I have ever had was about 80 degrees. I swear. I had just hiked almost 60 miles in 23.5 hours and let me tell you, that water tasted soooooooo good.

Speaking of dumb though, I'm running my first triathlon on Saturday. 1000 meter swim, 40 k bike, 8 k run. I've been running 6 miles a day, in almost 80 degree wtx. At first I was miserable, but now I'm used to it. I'd rather run at 80 than at 30.

Just so y'all know:

One ton truck with amb box on back + four miles of a four wheeler trail + after dark + a fully c spined pt = one heck of a fun call.

Nuff said.
 
...Is now a dispatcher....
 
Hey, as long as they don't tell me how to do patient care, I'm fine.

I already had to put one dispatcher in her place.
 
Freaking dispatchers... :-/
 
Dispatcher suck! Especially those named Ste.... JK!!

I'm excited, it's a pay raise, and it looks fun. And more reliable hours for medic school.
 
Dispatching pays more than EMT... I don't understand why, because I'm not out their risking my life to save others...


I like doing it. I don't like doing it more than being on a truck.
