On a Scrubs kick again... Damn you Netflix for bringing it back.

This is dangerous information. I'm winning two out of the bajillion battles associated with p-school...not getting fat (the opposite is happening?) and not ever turning on Netflix.

As for the sanity one...
 
Congratulations Broncos!! Well deserved win! Now Peyton Manning can retire.

In other Super Bowl related news, all went well security wise. Had a bunch of sheriffs come to my work to fuel up on coffee before heading out and everything went smoothly. Glad it's over though.

Had this awesome thing pull up to my work yesterday morning! All my coworkers and I got to check it out and it's huge.
 
Two more heroin ODs last night. I finally looked up my stats for 2016. I have officially given Narcan more than any other drug this year. I have had more respiratory/cardiac arrests secondary to opiate ODs than any other call type. I've used a BVM on ODs 3x more often than I've even been in a nursing home this year!

With the exception of one, each resuscitated patient has gurgled their way back to life only to almost immediately begin complaining about whose fault this is (besides their own) and why they are the victims in almost leaving behind their wives, husbands, parents, and in three occasions, their young children who were in the house unsupervised by anyone else. I'm still trying to counsel them and be as non judgmental as I can be, but the veneer is starting to crack. One patient last night asked why I looked so exasperated. I was watching the monitor and thinking how the local drug dealers are only able to remain in business because we're efficiently saving their most loyal repeat customers.

I'm glad to have four days off coming up.
 
Slumming it on the BLS transfer ambulance today...city is busy and we just here.
 
Starting to realize that when I think I know something in medic school, I don't. Finish test and feel meh=92. Finish test and feel pretty good=83. o_O

I do live a sheltered life. Not much happens when I work.
 
I work as a network engineer and volunteer as a Basic. I haven't been on a call in probably a month. Well we did have a CO alarm I was on, but I was there with both the EMS and Fire, we changed out his batteries in his smoke alarms and found a pretty old CO alarm not happy we unplugged and advised him to ge ta new one.
 
Words cannot describe the excitement of discovering that I can get the outdoor channel at school. This will be my new motivation hahaha.
 
hehe I've got a buddy with a slingbox, And we have a pair of 46" LED TV's on the wall we use for monitoring our environment. We can get TV anywhere.
 
I went to Milwaukee for WEMSA (state EMS conference), spent 4 days (first time there) having an absolute blast. Went to go home, found out I had no brakes on my truck, and I'm on the 5th floor of the parking garage.

Ride the parking brake down and get a tow, they want like $700 to fix the brakes. That's like half the price of my hoopty, so I start car shopping. Mind you I'm 6'9" 300lb, I don't fit in most cars. Car buying sucks. I think for the $700 I'll just fix the yukon, and buy a motorcycle to drive when the weather is nice so I keep the miles off the beast.
