Around here the pee test and paperwork would have taken a whole shift. You got to go back in service and save lives? Awesome!

Let's not visit Princess' side of Florida when we get together for the EMTLife Gathering okay?

 

[FFEMT1764]

Sounds to me like Princess is working far to far away from a Level 1 rauma center...and/or they really like to call the helicopter...as some of my co-workers like to do on a DAILY basis...(fly as a CVA, turn out to be a low bgl, etc)

Unless we're in Ragnat's ambulance and body armor...

Princess, you're the only person I know who could find a bright side if you were trapped in a dungoen filled with :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: .

Anyone heard from Jon today...???? I'm just wondering if he's got a splitting headache... :lol:

 

[Jon]

I'm fine.. thanks.

So... Princess - Do they issue you guys body armor? 'cause you sound like you need it...

 

[Jon]

Kip? Time for a "scene safety" lecture

 

[MedicPrincess]

So... Princess - Do they issue you guys body armor?

Naa...things aren't normally bad. That was just a bad night in then north end of the county.

Sounds to me like Princess is working far to far away from a Level 1 rauma center

There are no Level 1's anywhere near us. There are 2 Level 2's 2 counties away. At least an hour by ground. So most bad traumas fly.

Around here the pee test and paperwork would have taken a whole shift

Yea, we were out of service for the pee test and truck swap for about an hour. The paperwork is done as we have time. Our shift commander catches up with us as they can. Gotta have trucks up ya know.

Unless we're in Ragnat's ambulance and body armor...

Or unless Luno and DT4EMS are our personal security force...
