No, its true, and humans have a circulating blood volume of 20,000 gallons....Well, OK...that would be about 42 liters, but still.....

It’s when you use metric that it gets screwed up.

Hmm... turns out our PSAP wants to direct car crashes to EMS Dispatch...
Didn't see the crash itself, but the immediate aftermath, called 911 and actually asked for our Fire Dispatch lol, they asked if I was reporting an actual fire (which I guess makes sense from their point of view), said it was for a car crash, and they sent me to the EMSD instead (where I was on hold for like a min, and then they asked if I was calling for the accident at XYZ Intersection (I was.. guess I wasn't the first caller) and they just said yup, unit is on its way, and that was it. Couple min later, the ambulance showed up, they must be doing plenty of training cuz 4 guys hopped out, and at that point me and my friend were like "Wellp, we're just looky loos now, time to head off" (I didn't see the accident itself, so didn't have anything particular to report beyond what they were already getting from the drivers)
Interesting being on this side of the call...

Ended up accepting a lateral position to work at this “busier” place. A fat raise and cutting my commute from an hour to 15 minutes did it. Culturally they seem to get it and the department seems a bit more developed and professional. They have 24/7 EMS supervisor positions to aspire to as well.
Sucks to be a probie again with no vacation, but no academy at least. I’m thinking this was the good choice. I’ll miss my crew though.

Surprised @Jim37F didn’t beat me to this. Still the most admirable generation in our Country. Resilience and endurance were not optional.

Good afternoon everyone! I just wanted to wish everyone (in absolutely ZERO particular order) a Merry/Happy:
- Christmas
- Hanukkah
- Kwanzaa
- Any other concurrent holidays that I'm unaware of
For those of you on duty today, I hope y'all have safe shifts filled with joy and happiness. For those of you off duty, I hope your specific festivities are also filled with joy and happiness.
And regardless of which specific holiday it is you're celebrating, I hope that all y'all who were Santa Claus remembered to include yourselves in your Santa plans even though I forgot to
