the 100% directionless thread

So I was transporting a patient tonight, basic code 2 als call, when we were involved in a head on mva at highway speeds. Patient was fine, seat belted and sitting up on the gurney. My partner was fine in the front wearing his seatbelt. And me, being the guy that never wears a seatbelt in the back, decided that tonight would be a good night to wear a seatbelt sitting on the bench seat. If I wasn't wearing that, I have no doubt I'd have ping ponged around the box enough to be a step 1 trauma. Wear. ****ing. Seatbelts. That is all.
 
Glad to know you're OK!

Wow, that's terrifying. Glad you're okay though, and wore your seatbelt!
 
Need to start an exercise program...want to keep it science-based - Any recommendations?

Game of Thrones last night...woof. My search for historical parallels for the events failed quite quickly...
 
Gun shots is always an interesting sound to arrive on scene to. Fortunately it was just PD vs dog, not quite how I expected call #1 of the day to go. :p
 
Lifehack: TV antenna --> 30 channels! Who knew!?
 
Anyone on here from the Tempe, AZ area? I have to go there in November for an FP-C review course, and decided to drag the clan along for the trip.

Is there anything (that time of year) for the family to do while I get to sit in class? Also, any good eateries? I'm a bit of a foodie.
 
If anyone is planning on taking IA MED’s 4 day FP-C review course, I may have a $100 discount code...
