Oh my gosh. How did you not hurt yourself?! How many people did it take to get the pt. In the rig?
 
I lifted a leg....and there were 7 of us. And the bari truck has a wench to drag them in with. Really not that bad.

I just plain gave up dating. Emergency medicine is my lover. Because education and medicine doesn't walk out on you when the **** hits the fan.

Good luck with that. I'm only about 3 years in and halfway through AEMT-CC school and ems is really getting stale. Being in my 2nd year of pre-med, im probably going to quit ems entirely sometime during med school.

I can understand that. I'm talking about romantic personal relationships. Someone can walk out on you at anytime, but knowledge and medicine will always be there. I hope everything works out for you!

We use fire's tarp. The patients ALWAYS complain "this smells like smoke"... Oh, I'm sorry you have spent the last 30 years devouring Big Macs and my dew and require a tarp just to be moved....

Well mistake #1, you can't go into any relationship with the mindset it's doomed to fail, and expect it not to.

Right I agree! I didn't haveven that mind set. I set my boundaries in the beginning and I expect respect as a person as well as a woman. Some men don't do that and just walk out. Sucks for them. I'm sure there are wonderful respectful men out there, but I have yet to come across any. So education and medicine it is.

That's the only hospice pts I've been called to. The ones that are almost but just not quite on full hospice with no DNR or power of attorney. But tomorrow their paperwork will be good. According to family.

And when I was in the field it wasn't easy holding back some of the really interesting remarks (that might have gotten me fired if let loose) about this kind of thing. Usually I was quite firm but polite about it... and would usually say something along the lines of: "Well, without any sort of paperwork that directs me differently or grants you any authority over this, this is what I am required to do."

This was your typical bari IFT, so no fire folks to pawn it off on, but there was a hefty tarp used. I swear though, he had the nastiest feet I've seen in a while. I would periodically get a whiff of that smell for the rest of the shift and I am not sure if it was actual lingering smell that just wouldn't leave or just memories haunting me. So I call the smoke smelling tarp a balancing of the scales.
