Fixed it for you.
 
That moment when you get back to station at 0100 from an 8 hour round trip LDT, you take your pants off for bed, and a run comes out in your district.........and the dispatcher uses common sense and sends another unit. Winning!

This is one of those mornings when I woke up an hour and a half earlier than I had to and after only 3 1/2 hours of sleep only to finally fall back to sleep 5 minutes before the alarm goes off. o_O

I remember that feeling. It's why I work a 12-hour peak truck and refused to go to 24.
 
I thought the great thing about living on the islands was not needing a vehicle anyway?
 
Has anyone ever farted in the ER, while holding the wall, and point at the patient when you see someone who notices the smell???

Nah, that's when you wink at the nurse and own it. Mark your territory.
 
Last night was a beatin.' No sooner crawl into bed, at 2230 and the siren on the phone goes off. Ambulance coming to the POE from Mexico with 78 yo F with SVT. We haven't even left the POE with the patient and there's another call 16 miles downriver. No second units available, so the ambulance from up north drives down about thirty five miles and meets the second Pt on the highway. Pt had missed her dialysis appointment and was in tough shape. Meanwhile we get to the hospital, haven't even finished turning over the Pt to the ER and there's another call with a 58 yo F, this time that's tachycardic. Ask ER doc if he wants us to bring her or fly her? Use your disgression says he. My EMR knows the Pt since he took her to the hospital last Friday. They were able to arrange an appointment for her on July the 27th. So, 90 miles and a fuel stop later we are back at the POE to pick up Pt #2 with the tackycardia, but managed to find a plane to come get her and fly her to Odessa. Got home at 0630. At least she gets to see a cardiologist before the end of July.

Had a refusal that took over an hour, at noon today. Can't wait to see what happens tonight.
 
@Old Tracker, geez! Quite a night. What's your nearest ALS?
 
The guys from the town up north who will only come about 30 miles down. If they are busy and we are busy, the all volunteer dept. from the town 90 miles away will come down to help out.

We do have one AEMT and one Paramedic who also works down around Big Bend National Park, so she's not always available. The good news is that there will be an AEMT class starting for us at the end of July. Because of the distance for us to the hospital, we as basics get to do quite a bit of stuff most basics don't get to do as part of our scope of practice.
