There is one other group that is not represented in that pie chart: the Troll Mod. I am, of course, allowing for the possibility that the Troll Mod may very well be the EMT Life equivalent of a unicorn.

First day of medic school in the books. Weird to sit behind a desk again after a two year break, but I'm excited. I think.

Getting my disaster bag ready again. Instead of a huge duffle bag, this time I decided to use my hiking backpack. May need a bigger bag..

Hurricane season is coming. Also CA may get hit with some very bad storms this year (worse than last year which was pretty bad). Since I'm on my companies state and federal/national team I may get sent out if anything happens.

Ah got it. I signed up for CA's volunteer disaster team as well,so I've been preparing as well by organizing my bags and personal stuff.
Yeah, curious as to what you have? Trying to figure out what's good to have and what should I know?

This is what the company wants/requests us to have. Based on previous experience with a deployment and other training I add on somethings.
Aside from personal medications we do not carry anything medical related (aside from a stethoscope if we want). The team I'm on is thru my company and not volunteer at all. Everything medical including ambulances are provided to us.

Agreed.
Ugh, I didn't realize that it was so hard to sign up for a PHTLS or ITLS class. They don't seem to happen frequently. I tried to sign up for one at the beginning of the month, but it was cancelled after I found someone to cover my shift for it. I decided to sign up for one at the end of the month, when my card expires, without finding cover first. I'm two days away from the class and I haven't found cover still. I also cannot call out sick because there is too much evidence that I am trying to get this day off. I had paid time off, but used it for my paramedic testing. I have accrued 11.93 hours and I need 12 hours to get the day off, lol. I won't have that until the week after the class. I am so frustrated. I am probably going to take the first day of the class, but I expect that I won't be able to take the second day. I am gonna have to consider going out of state to sign up for an ITLS class soon (next one open to the public in California after this one is on 10/23 and I don't want to wait that long) or look for a PHTLS class (I haven't looked too much at it). Next time I am gonna look at classes much earlier. I thought they happened as frequently as ACLS and PALS, but I guess not.
