If your gonna go hiking in the desert, during the summer time, and when there is 50% humidity 1 bottle of water is not going to be enough. Add in the fact that your not an avid hiker and this makes a nice recipe for a rescue.
Then the patient says "I thought I would be fine. I walked a couple parks in LA." A park and a desert mountain are just a little different, however I did give him credit for walking a couple parks in LA without getting shot

One of our units got into an accident this morning while transporting a CVA patient code 3. Thankfully no injuries and everyone is okay. Crappy part, drive did EVERYTHING by the book, stopped at the light, cleared every lane, then proceeded to turn right when they were struck.
Edit: Accidenitly an intersection.

Interview went well today. I got there, took a test, and then interviewed with the HR person. The test took about an hour and the interview was about 30 minutes. Once that was over, I was sent to the main station for the ambulance service and interviewed with the head of that department and 3 other supervisors. That took about an hour. Over all, I think all of it went really well. Supposedly, I will know something in about 2 weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Just did an ALS intercept for a BLS company. "SOB" patient. Their report started off good until they forgot to do lung sounds and placed the patient on a NRB at 15lpm with a O2 sat at 98% on room air.
