Blah...this is ruining this thread for me.

I GOT THANKSGIVING OFF WORK! Yay!

I had the distinct privelege of calling around looking to give someone Thanksgiving off because I had no childcare for my shift Wednesday. It was so nice saying "Hey, wanna work for me Wednesday and I'll take your shift on Thanksgiving?"

The winner said he's going to make his mom so happy, he hasn't been at home for Thanksgiving in the 3 years he's been working as a medic. So cute.
 
Trying to calm down an engine company of firefighters on the scene of an uncontrolled hemorrhage isn't easy. I was debating doing intranasal versed for all the firefighters.

The only person more calm than me on scene was my FTO with 35 years of experience.

That reminds me of a call they had recently (I wasn't there): A lol sliced open a varicose vein shaving her legs and nearly bled to death from it. She apparently walked around the entire house bleeding everywhere, then collapsed on the couch, with her leg hanging down. They arrived to find her unconscious, with a spouting fountain of blood from the front of her shin. They controlled it with just a bandaid and getting her leg back level with her body.

Some firefighters can be weird like that. Give them a mangled body to extricate, no problem. Spurting blood...Run away!
 
Here's the best part: they had 3 tourniquets, quik-clot, and a crap load of bandages and it was still bleeding. We whip out the bp cuff and they look at us like we just punched a baby.

Took the patient to my truck, put the bp cuff on, and bleeding stopped. Imagine that.


They asked if I wanted a rider to come with. I was like "Nope!" and we drove off non l&S.

Typical...people don't put tourniquets on nearly tight enough most of the time.
