It's been absolutely horrific!
Well, as I've today I'm enrolled in a medic class. Still got quite a lot of down time before the new class starts though (starts in Oct, finishes in July)... Still needa hurry up and get a damn job, though. 19 apps filled out in the past 2 days, yet to have a call, though. Sucks being jobless. lol

You'll get over it. Get acclimated to the quiet side of EMS. Theoretically available for calls, just not frequently called upon.

I'm also known as a white cloud. Want some rest, just have me as a partner. While we usually run as many calls as others, often mine end up being relatively easy ones, so we're done pretty quickly, sometimes with enough time left over for a quick nap or food or... whatever. Window shopping was often a result of sheer boredom.

Someone backed into my ambulance today while we were in the house on a call...then blamed us cause we didn't put cones out...the giant red engine, red BC truck and white ambulance all with blinking lights weren't seen...how do you plan on seeing an 18 inch tall orange cone?
Luckily it wasn't my normal rig

You know your hospital has issues when your patients would rather jump out of an 8th floor window than stay there any longer... h34r:

Had some good times at that place. A person got shot and killed by police while on a gurney in the ER after he tried to take one of their guns.

If you ever want to be entertained, read the reviews of several Los Angeles area hospitals, not the prestigious ones, but the hole-in-the-wall crapholes that exist solely because those prestigious hospitals wouldn't take certain insurances and transferred patients accordingly.

We have a lady that's been picketing our trauma center for the last week with a sign that says "Stop patient dumping".
She's a frequent flyer that's transported nearly daily. I thought it was pretty amusing. She lives cussing us out as we leave the ambulance bay. So I may or may not say hello back with the phaser and airhorn.

I had a patient who used to be an ER nurse, you should've seen the look on his face when he found out his new insurance plan was having him transferred to LA Community Hospital
