So I worked back-to-back 12 hour shifts, only ran 4 calls in that 24 hour period and I still managed to get off late...

Got my first intubation as a medic since internship tonight, GCS of 3 from an intentional ativan OD, and the call went as well as I could have hoped for.

So if anyone has any good whiskey, rum, scotch, etc. suggestions...well....I am gonna need something to get through the month, so pass them along.
I've always been a big craft beer guy, but just recently started drinking a lot less beer and have been experimenting with different bourbons. So far my favorites are Jefferson's, Woodford Reserve, and Four Roses. But there are tons of good ones out there. I pretty much only drink whiskey neat.
The 90 proof SoCo is decent (the regular stuff is too sweet and weak), as is Crown Royal. Both go good in Coke.
In the summer I also like Cruzan Black Strap Rum and any good quality 100% agave tequila.

I'll second Woodford and Four Roses. Makers 46 is good (or even just standard Makers- Makers and Coke is my go to at restaraunts with ****ty selection). One of my favorites is from a local distillery, Ranger Creek. Buffalo Trace is pretty good too.
Non-bourbon, I really like Redbreast 12 and 15. Jameson Gold Reserve is pretty damn good. I'm not a huge fan of the heavily peated Scotches.
Also seconded on drinking them neat.
And now I think I want a drink.

Outstanding picture. That was quite the storm yesterday. I watched a bit from the beach and was impressed.

I just went on a chicken house fire in the pouring rain. I feel like a hen crawled up my nose and somehow crapped directly on my brain. My truck and I are covered in what is likely 20% mud and 80% chicken feces.
Ahh, this paramedicine thing 'tis a glamorous and high speed/low drag career.

I got the feathers/feces mix that's spit out of a chicken house fan blown all over me when I was in the process there. It's a scent that you never forget. (I don't miss the chicken house stuff!)

Four Roses is also good, and a little "softer", I think, so maybe a little easier for the new bourbon drinker to enjoy. It's also a fair amount less expensive, at least in my neck of the woods.
But yeah, Woodford is probably my all-around favorite so far.

Pet peeve- when someone asks for feedback, but can't accept criticism.

Hahah. Another WA medic making the trek to the slower lower. If you do wind up there, you'd be the 5th.
It's a great place. Except for the chicken Houses.

I have often thought about Sussex, but sadly I can't get the wife to be to move out of the crap hole of MD.

You mean Eastern New Jersey? lol
Any career departments on the east coast people know of? Have been looking into Wake County and Mecklenburg a little bit. Heard Meck starts medics off at 32k a year though, which would be a 20k pay cut going from a basic to medic, so thats out lol.
Boston EMS won't work since they require you to live in the city, so no thanks.
I am probably stuck here until (if) I get my medic or find a new job other than EMS. Just exploring options.
