NO.
I moved outta NY for school a few years ago. With the exception of visits back to my old stomping grounds at the volunteer FD's and friends/family, never once looked back there for a career.

I moved outta NY a few years ago for schooling, and with the exception of visiting my old stomping grounds at my former volunteer FD and visiting family/friends I've never looked back since. No desire to go back to NY.

I will give them all that.. Mohawk has definitely stepped up their game recently. I just came across one of their former medics in an assessment center recently, and we were chatting about how much they've improved. Just no desire to live back in NY anymore. Thanks, It's time for my pasty white skin to get some sun down south somewhere :)

Yep, I'll shoot you a PM with my exact agencies, but for the rest of y'all its the North and South Carolinas. Definitely looking forward to not having to deal with 25 inches of snow.. my partner on Tuesday was quite annoyed with me that I missed the blizzards being down interviewing and not on the truck back up north!

i'd be livid :(
 
Love having medic students as partners, end up getting questions for stuff that makes me have to refresh my own memory. Past 3 months on my own have been the biggest learning/forgetting experience.

When I first got on the track unit myself and my Dr. partner spent about 3 hours organizing the ambulance and about another hours organizing the track bags.

I think your black cloud can be measured on the EF scale...

EF5 definitely. Lately at least.

Myself, I'd find someone to cover and head home at that point. Can only handle so much acute stress at once.

I thought about it and the crew I was relieving for the back half of my 48 (I moved stations back to my normal station) both offered to stay for me but my better half is working and I didn't want to go home and just sit around.

Your area have a CR team or someone you can contact? Those groups aren't just there only for the patients and customers, they are there for providers too, that's alot of stress for one person to take in two days

We did a diffusing session with fire after the 8 month old. Also, my agency has a peer support team with medics who have extra training that are automatically contacted and come by your station to check on you. So I got two checkups. One last night after the kiddo then one this morning after the 16 year old. They're a great bunch. Also my engine crew I'm housed with that's my normal crew are great and have been awesome today. They even let me control the remote... [emoji15][emoji13]

I think, in several cases, this group had served as a Critical stress team. We've all been through something similar, we're all good listeners and we don't judge our brothers and sisters. Okay, sometimes we do. But only when they ask noob questions.

Talk if you need us or want an ear.

This times a million. In my 8 or so years on here I've developed a lot of fantastic friendships.

Honestly what's bothering me the most is that I'm really not bothered by either call. Makes me wonder if I have any emotions left anymore and it scares me.

Thanks for all the kind words and jokes. Luckily today we've only run 2 calls and they were spaced out by 12 hours. Got a solid nap, a great dinner and an epic Netflix session. The Fall is a great show if anyone is looking for something good to watch on Netflix.

Y'all be safe tonight.

I love this scene:
I just wish Richard Pryor had been in Blazing Saddles, that would have been too good!

It would have been epic. It's still a classic, though. I'm a bit surprised Mel Brooks has surpassed both of them, but when his time comes he'll be missed nonetheless. I do love me some Mel Brooks movies.
 

Just keeping it going ;)
Lets all get fashnicket!!!!!

My two remain SCEMS (Delaware), and "thee" Wilco EMS, in that exact order. Enough to make me return to the ground FT if we ever decide to up and move.
