I think if Hooters sold chicken wing shaped cardboard cut outs, they would still make a killing. I don't think half of their customers would notice!
 
Haha probably not, as long as the girls and beer stayed, they'd do just fine. ^_^
 
Oh beer. Is there anything that it can't do? :rolleyes:
 
I hate seeing obituaries of patients. Hate it. The newspaper for my county prints obituaries on the page opposite from the comics, and every now and then, it slips my mind and I accidentally keep from tearing it out of the paper so I can't look.

So I saw the obituary of a patient we transported IFT from her home to hospice. The poor lady was in such denial of her condition (spinal cancer so bad she was paraplegic) and kept asking us if there really was anything wrong with her. She kept trying to get us to promise to visit her. Between those moments, she liked to talk to me about how she was a related to a famous historical figure and for me to look him up and read all the books I could about him.

*sigh* I'm not so affected that it's going to make me very upset, but I'm still new enough to this business to not be jaded by the deaths of people I meet and connect on various levels with in transport. Let this be a lesson, above all, that I need to subscribe to a different newspaper.

At least now she isn't suffering... Hmm.

/rant.
 
Aww I'm sorry gillycakes. :[

That's what you gotta remember and let that keep you from feeling sad. After all that's what hospice is for. For people to die as comfortably as the law allows.

She sounds like such a cute old lady :] What kind of whack job puts obituaries next to the comics? Madness!

Maybe the paper is going for a sort of zen yin/yang balance in the universe kind of thing.

Uh oh.. did my inner hippy escape again????

Another test today, another 'A' for me. More b5ing from the 'gimmies' in the class. Cant wait untill we start clinicals. Hopefully some of them will drop out then.

On a different note, the local amateur baloon crew is planning a launch this weekend. Predictions so far are calling for a ~150 mile flight. Chase teams are going to be hauling butt all over creation. Ive almost got my mobile tracking system up and running, just need one more piece to the interface, and its supposedly on the brown truck as I type. Hope it gets here in time.
 
Pool is so much fun, but I hate the blue cue chalk that inevitably gets all over my hand.
 
One of our firefighters passed away last night. He was at home, and had been complaining of chest pain/not feeling well for a couple days. He was such a stubborn ole goat. He was talking when crews arrived, arrested before leaving the house. They got him back twice, but he ultimately didn't make it. Sure did make things quiet around the firehouse the rest of the shift....
 
Well that's no good...
 
Something I find highly amusing.

A contraindication for a couple of the "arrest" drugs is hypotension. You can't get much more hypotensive then "0" can you? Haha :]
