Agreed. Love 24/72s. Just hate that day 1 of 3 involves sleeping most of the day.
 
Meanwhile we ran our first call 6 min into shift....cleared, back to station, went over a full shop checkout with today's ride along and finished that, walking back into station, didn't even make it to the door when we got this call I'm now holding the wall on (when 3 other higher priority calls walked in thru the door within 5 min of each other)..
 
Worked last night for twelve... First call? A code at a busy local restaurant. Ugh.
At least tonight I'm sitting at a brewery with a cold beer and a pup laying at my feet.
 
Neighbors are shooting off fireworks that sound like mortar rounds. My dog went 5 feet straight up in the air.

We've run exactly one call since 0800. Demand truck that's out of our station just went EOS though so I'm probably going to eat my words pretty quickly.

Yep. We currently have the dogs dosed with 2mg of "Dogivan". Being married to a vet has big advantages. Everyone is chilling on the couch.
 
What is dogivan? Lol. Our vet recommended valerian root and benadryl to help calm our monsters down lol
 
I love fireworks. Fireworks on fireworks on fireworks. Helps when you have neighbors with similar ideals.
 
Dex... Buccal dex... Damn
 
Yep. You've got to be careful that they don't slobber on you after you give 'em a glurp.

But, it's keeping the dogs from trying to dig through the wall.

I somehow missed the earlier conversation about Cardizem. I honestly don't know how I functioned without it. Most places I saw in Colorado didn't carry it (with a few exceptions), and now I use it all the freaking time. Are places without it just not treating a-fib RVR, or are they using something else? I mean, besides a fluid bolus and crossed fingers.

We carry it at all my places of employment, including AMR. Fire does not have it and they always get real anxious when we give it despite its usual efficacy.

Also my understanding is that CCBs are much more effective than BBs for Afib as the atrial action potential is regulated more by calcium channels than anything else.
 
PD is getting hammered with Shots Fired calls right now

Admittedly I am guilty of adding to the late night shenanigans. We were blowing up a ton of stuff in the church parking lot til PD told us to stop lol. We had 9 of those small mortar ones and we were in a line lighting them at the same time. Made for a fun video.
