Well you wouldn't let me correct "HIPPA", so I had to find something :D

I believe it is a HIPPA violation to post a patients picture :rofl

Both of you need to knock it off right now, or you will become the focus of my complete and undivided attention.

Debating wether to drive the 30 minutes home from work to come back in 3 hours or sleep in my car
 
Started my 24th birthday hauling a decent MI off of a country bar's dance floor surrounded by well-meaning but quite intoxicated patrons and a nurse who seemed to think that his colostomy bag was the root of all his troubles...4 rounds of nitro and 4mg morphine later on what turned out to be a 90% occlusion of the circumflex. Pain dropped from 10/10 to 2/10, pressure stabilized at normal...and I felt awesome because our friendly neighborhood fire medic tried two IVs (18s) and failed on Mr. No-veins, but I ended up with two good 22s while rolling over Oklahoma's high-quality roads. The best part? The manager was trying to invite my partner and I back for free beers, the band just kept playing this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zwq9RCeISY, and we got a standing ovation for showing up and looking busy (I just picked him up and retreated to the nice controlled truck outside, but I sure looked stylish doing it). Turns out the guy is a locally-famous Alan Jackson tribute singer, great guy. And the call made me feel awesome to get 24 started off right.

Also, I suspect that my partner's fluent Spanish is getting us calls triaged to our truck specifically...I'm OK with it.

Well done.

Especially following Fire/EMS rule #2, even if you aren't really doing anything or don't know what to do, make sure you look cool doing it.

(more great advice from my original EMT instructor)
 
Well thank you. It was fun- I haven't had a good cardiac case in a while.

If it were me, I'd sleep in the car, if there wasn't a way to take a nap inside the building itself.

Lol I went home, it's too hot outside to sit in my car, and gas is too expensive to leave it running for 2 and a half hours so i could sleep. Plus I needed a shower to kinda give me a second wind. x.x Leaving to go back soon... Time to pick up a heart attack in a can, hopefully it's slow like sundays usually are.
 
A free 21hr OT shift when it's not even my turn, AND you want to give me another one next shift? Why yes, don't mind if I do :cool: :D

Blew up my ambo's motor or transmission yesterday....so what do they do? Give me a brand spankin' new Chevy.

I can dig it, still not sure if I'm a fan of the way they laid the interior out though...or not being able to kick my feet up on the dash...the high idle being quieter than my old rigs regular idle is nice though, and its faster, and I got a hard post to start my day off.

Much better day than yesterday so far :p

Shhhh don't let tbe dispatch gods hear you
 
Was driving on one of the major east/west roads today, and got to spend about 10 minutes chasing a dog that was running across the road. By the time we caught the dog, there was the owner and her boyfriend, me and usaf, a guy on a bike, and another couple that stopped. We even had a girl driving by hand us dog treats to try to help catch it. That was my exercise for the month!

Just because I agreed with you ONCE, doesn't mean it's a requirement around here. :P:P:P
