Anyone interested in a quick 30-ish minute workout:

Jump rope in 1/4 increments (100, 125, 150, 175, 200 then back down the reverse 200, 175, 150, 125, 100). In between sets you do 50 pull ups/ chin ups/ dips/ leg lifts.

Bonus if you're in a muggy *** garage like me.
No cross fit for this aching back, but a great quick cardio session nonetheless.

I was too lazy to run my 5.5 today.

I prefer to sit on the couch and the kind of fitness I practice is fitting this pizza in my mouth.

Yeah, I don't have enough upper body strength to do even one pull up.

I suddenly feel even lazier for having debated going and running half of that.....

Lol, that's my short run (8 miles is as far as I can go without hurting). @STXmedic has my *** beat when it comes to endurance runs though.
 
Finished the eagles notes. I never thought hands on defibrillation would gain much traction but it just keeps coming up.

Well we just now moved up the next up for a bed, yay!....and there's still 4 crews in line behind us lol

Well then.....so we got a bed within a couple min of that post (yay), cleared, stopped and got chow (Waba Grill ftw lol) and enroute back to station, got called for a full arrest....DOA, decomposing in packrat conditions.....cleared, enroute to station again called for a person choking, got on scene, they spat up the chunk of potato and were fine now, cleared, finally got back to station and started eating. I had just enough time to ascertain that my laptop opened up the file I'm trying to open on my phone perfectly fine when we got called out again. This time for a reported diabetic who hadn't eaten all day and had collapsed. Well it was in the far south end of our district, so while we didn't dilly dally (still made the ETA) we didn't exactly fly out through traffic either expecting ALS fire to have given them some D50 and signed AMA before we got there....how little we knew..

Arrived at the supermarked, found fire and the patient who was sprawled supine on the ground, walked up just in time to hear fire say "did he just code? He just coded....put him on the pads....yup start CPR". Well then. so we work the arrest, got ROSC after a few minutes (less than 20 min to calling on scene to calling transporting per pager), transported 5 min to the nearby hospital that's a STEMI and Level 1. Story from fire is that they were talking to the guy on scene, he was supposedly A&Ox3, GCS 15 when he had a seizure in front of them, was postictal, and then they noticed he started going agonal on the breathing, and thats when we walked up when he had just gone into arrest. He re-arrested enroute, did transfer of care with CPR still ongoing......as driver I cleaned and redressed the gurney and back of the ambulance, went back and found my partner in the resucitation room, Pt had ROSC again, basically they had asked her to keep a continuous carotid check while the Doc was getting in some sort of femoral line involving a wire (I'm sure y'all ALS peeps know what I'm talking about better than I do on that lol) I took over the carotid check so my partner could start our paperwork....and they guy went into V-Tach, they shocked and we helped out the EMT Techs cycling through CPR for what felt like 45 more min while the hospital worked the code, pt was in persistant V-Tach...shocked him at least 6 times...they finally called it so we finished cleaning up and went back out to the rig, had just gone available over the radio when one of the techs knocked on our window, they were working the guy again, went back inside, and he had ROSC!

And I'm only 12 hours into a 48 this weekend....
 
Update to my jump rope fiasco:

I ended up banging out a 4-5 minute continuous session after said set due to a remarkably addictive cardio-friendly song making its way onto my "thumb print" Pandora station. Now it's time to enjoy having St. Patty's Day off. Happy St. Patty's Day from one very non-Irish beer swigging gent. @TransportJockey and @gotbeerz001 where y'all at?

Admittedly, the shift I've been moved to has some killer cherry days off, aside from Christmas Day, which I am sure I can get one of the other medics to work at least enough of to let me see the toads open up "Santa's" gifts.

My condolences, BTW; I'll tip one back for 'ya. I'm a huge Bob Marley fan, hate green beer, and hope a local ale will suffice.

My normal 72 is T/W/Th (off weekends all year). I was on weekends this past month due to staffing shortages.

As an Irishman I'm offended... just kidding... I'm Irish. But seriously you drink a stout on St. Patrick's day.

Sorry, CAL I hate stouts. WE can still be pals, right? If it earns me any "cool points" back Willie is currently blaring something to the effect of wanting get "on the road again". Damn you Bakersfield, and your country sound!

Well, that patient is nothing if not persistent! Persistently going into VT and ROSC simply, well, because...
