Whew, so the other guy on my crew just came back from vacation (interestingly enough, he was on nearly the exact same cruise, same Ship, just on the northern Japan route instead of the southern route I did). He was (lightly) complaining of being a bit of a white cloud (the first shift he was off, we had two working structure fires). Wasn't quite that black of a cloud, but his first shift back we did have a small (~2ish hour) brush fire, and a structure fire (where all we got to do was stage until released) but we had a couple interesting medicals... from the homeless guy sleeping on the sidewalk we kicked awake (who then proceeded to threaten us with his cane... apparently after we managed to diffuse the situation and he walked off, EMS was called back a second time for the same thing and he did attack them with his cane and got taken away by PD while we were playing with the brush), and a little old lady (80ish years old) found passed out in the driveway, in the sun, with an ear probe temperature of 107.1*F (holy Heat Stroke Batman). Probably one of the sickest medical patients not actively in cardiac arrest I've had in quite a long while. Cue active cooling measures and we got the temp reading down to 104* by time ALS arrived... and speaking of CPR, we had a Pt who seemed struggling to breath when we walked... and as we're working to get an initial set of vitals realize it was agonal and that he did indeed just Code on us.... but had a valid DNR posted on the door... Round out with a motorcycle vs auto (thankfully mild road rash where the rider declined transport) and our Capt was like "We ended up wearing pretty much every bit of different PPEs we have for every bit of different call" (almost, no Hazmat calls lol)
Guess we'll find out tomorrow if he found his black cloud or if it just stormed everything out he missed in one shift and blew through lol
