Been there, done that. Have gotten clothes caught before, too. Always fun when your T-shirt flies across the room. <_<

Never thought it was possible to miss a freeway before. Damn traffic, made me late. Left about the same time before my shift as I normally did, instead of having a cushion getting to east la, clocked in 5 min late to Glendale -_- Damn you 210/134! I want the 605/60 back lol
Thanks! It'll be several months before I get to pick a station, since a transfer list just ended a few weeks ago. It'll most likely be the one off bandera inside 410, the one off Vance Jackson near huebner, or one of the units downtown.
If truck work was more frequent, I would miss it moreBreaking stuff is always fun
Nice..
I didnt think yall did any truck work lol

Pfft! Busiest truck and house in the city, guy!
If that has any similarities to the trucks we have here it still doesn't mean much

I'd say I average 10-12 runs per 24hr shift. Busy shifts can get 18-20. Not crazy, but not too bad either
Still don't get to break near enough stuff :sad: :lol: So you, sir, can suck it

Just had a great call! Paced someone for the first time and ended up RSIing the patient as well. Sounds like it has a pretty good chance at a good outcome too.

Y'all run about the same as us, well the FD here. On the box it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to do 10-12 in a 12. There are just rarely actual fires that get past the initial response knocking it down.

Yeah, our box is the same, but they do 24hr shifts. Our busy boxes can knock out 20-24 per shift, sometimes more on busy days. Hopefully I don't get stuck at one of those :unsure: Luckily it's 24/72 on the box, so you get an extra day to recoup.

That's brutal! Double medic right? I really like working with an Intermediate Asa a partner but on those days where all 12 calls are ALS that 12 turns into a 15 real quick trying to catch up on charts but if it were split 50/50 it'd be a breeze.
All I ask for is time to eat, pee, get coffee and get my paperwork done throughout the day and I'm a happy camper.
Still thinking about what you told me about down there. Knowing my luck if I got on I'd draw you as an FTO.... :wacko:
I saw another company that I've been interested in is hiring down there. I'd probably draw Linuss as an FTO and it'd have the same results though... Haha! Still quite haven't figured out how there level system works though. There's like 3 levels of medics...then crash airway permits and what not. Sounds complicated but really interesting.

Yeah, we run dual medic here.
Well come on down here! We pay better! Lol I'll teach you all the good trolling routes down here. Haha
Linuss' would definitely be a good option though! I'd like to do a ride-out with the to see how they do things up there. Apparently DrB has really turned them around from what they used to be. I've got a couple buddy's down here who worked for them about 10-12 years ago. From what I hear, they were a decidedly different company...

I have got one better, sliding out of the back of the ambulance. My new pants get caught on the grated bumper and almost rip clean off. This all happen right in front of an ER with lots of people. My partner fell over laughing and was not much help, even though it was very funny.
One of the ER Tech came and rescued me and brought me hospital scrubs. Even he couldn't help but laugh since I had a sheet wrapped around me. I was so embraced to this day I go out through the side door of the ambulance. lol

I do not miss anything about the 210/134, 210/605, and the 210/57.

At one time, those were my local freeways....until I saw the light and now I deal only with the 15 freeway. It's truly heavenly to commute 30 miles and have it only take you about 20-25 minutes each way

A better commute is my 3 mile commute. Hop on the freeway and the next sign shows my exit at 2 miles.At one time, those were my local freeways....until I saw the light and now I deal only with the 15 freeway.

Well, the hospital I'm doing most of my rotations at (Arrowhead). Going to the actual school is like 30 minutes away. Thankfully, I can pretty much count on one hand the number of times I'll have to step foot on campus again.

Cool man, hopefully it's going good. Also, My sister has been shadowing at Arrowhead for the past couple of weeks, she's part of the Future Physician Leaders group. She's been in the ER and OR. And hoepfully you have good things to say about Western because that's where she wants to go for DO.
