Oh. My. God! That's beyond rediculous.
My longest wall time was at St. Francis. I was brand new and thought the staff was messing with us, until my partner informed me that this was business as usual in LA.

911 at a frequent flyers house. Get on scene to find him breaking windows with a metal bar. Probably the fastest we have ever backed out of a driveway

The fire engine backing up behind us has a back up camera, does that count?I hope you had a spotter sir.
It's a BHU and it's horrible. We had 5 relief crews with that same pt, plus made friends with the rest of the crews from other companies who held the wall there. Pizza was ordered

Got the offer to move to PDX today. Looks like I'll be changing my zip code. Again.

Aaaand, first 911 call as a medic, walk in to a grand mal seizure. Stops seizing a few seconds after we walk in, and now he's got a new onset of left sided weakness and facial droop.
I give up, paramedicking is harder than it looked...

Nice! Todd's paresis? Or were you leaning towards CVA causing the seizure?

Good luck on the job and the move. My wife had a melt down with a 20 mile move. Could not imagine moving her from one coast to another.

Thanks. She's a trouper. She said, "each time we move, we get better at it". Got to love that attitude. We're pretty excited. I really want my daughter to grow up in the PNW.

Well aren't you just that good. Todds didn't even cross my mind until we got back to station and I started doing some research. More than likely that's what it was. I was sold on the cva.

Don't be hating on my tacoma. Unlike some people I know, I use my truck for truck stuff. Besides when the truck is paid off and I get: ARB front/ rear air lockers, Iron Cross front/ rear bumper, All Pro Off Road skid plate, Warn winch, and rock sliders it'll be badass, not as badass as what I'd do with a jeep but still. Oh and incase if anyone is wondering the Bilstein 5100's will be going on my truck when I can find someone to do it for a reasonable price.

I sure love getting orders denied to terminate resuscitative efforts only to walk in to the ED 20 minutes later to have the doc walk in, do an ultrasound, and pronounce the patient 15 seconds later. It's truly magical to witness modern medicine in action.
Imagine my surprise to find that the asystolic patient with an unknown down time was actually deceased!
