I wouldn't waste a minute's sleep watching "House". That guy is an egotistical moron. Now "Bones", well....gives thought to jumping something. That woman is HOT!!!!

That's really crazy. In my class, we had people who deliberately screwed other people over on the waiting times so that they could get everything done early, but that was the worst. We tested solo, though, so we couldn't really sabotage each other. Come to think of it, that might be the reason why they recently started doing things that way, because it requires more instructors and a lot more time.

We test individually on PT assessment/medical/trauma and then at the end of the class we go into teams and have to test medical/trauma in teams on scenarios. My trauma was a tree branch to the head with battles sign, blood from the ear and an unresponsive PT. I was team lead. The other two in my team had just failed the final and they were both beyond upset. So when I started calling for them to do their jobs they did them as slowly and poorly as possible. Then I get chewed out afterwards for having an "attitude" by my psycho instructor.

Well lets see, I called for oxygen the second my size up was finished and it didn't go on til 2 minutes later. Yeah, I'm going to be kind of ticked off.

Eh, I'm just super glad its over.
And hopefully my friend doesn't get the only spot at that company?

I'll probably mope and cry about it for a few days, its the only private based 911 in the area.

I happen to enjoy Houses attitude, but Bones is a whole different story.. I could stare at Agent Booth for hours.

This day just keeps getting worse. One of my favorite bands broke up. Now I'm definately going to find that corner to sulk in.

We did all not only alone, but in closed and separate rooms, with instructors we'd never seen before. It took forever, but there was no possibility of interference with the actual testing from anyone who knew us. In retrospect, there was probably some kind of history that convinced them to do it that way.

And I dislike House because I know way too many jerky premeds who honestly think he's a great role model. I'd be entertained otherwise.

I haven't had a fire OR a medical call in over a week. Am I the only one that when the tones have not dropped in the longest time begins to expect them only at the most inopportune times?

"Lets see I'm watching TV so the tones will not drop right now. But I really need to take a shower, the moment I step in someone will probably code. Is it worth the risk?"

Michael Sykes · 11-22-2009, 03:48 PM

Of COURSE it will happen at the most inopportune time. Whether you're in the shower, feeling frisky with momma, or sitting down to Christmas dinner, the tones are bound to drop. I've been caught during all of the above, along with at least one birthday party for each of our kids, and spending one entire Easter Sunday and Monday fighting one field fire after another.

It's an accepted fact of life for a volunteer; just go with the flow, and take your shower.

I'm just saying I never think about them coming at inopportune times unless I haven't had one in a long time.
