Nice short 8 hour shift, half an hour till I'm supposed to get off, holding the wall with our 5th transport (7th call overall), think we've spent maybe 20 min at post total today? Everytime we've cleared, gotten a post move and then a call while enroute.

One more year until I can promote. I am so done with 5 calls after midnight during a 24hr shift.

Is that a promotion back to suppression or some kind of field supervisor?

Initially it'll be back to suppression, but I've been told an EMS Lieutenant spot is mine if I want it.

lol yeah...it would be better if Centinela didn't believe EMTs were a vital structural component of their ER haha
No EMTs in Centinela -> walls collapse. Think of the walls !

8 years ago it was much worse. But ya centinella, st francis, and Gardena memorial were the worst at bed delays.
That is until you make it to San Bernardino county and have to wait at st Mary's or Redlands community. I'm just glad I'm not on a box anymore

Our student for the past few weeks seems interested in backboarding anyone that holds still long enough.
I swear on my stethoscope that I will break her of this habit before she leaves us...

Does just one student get assigned to you?

My partner is the FTO. I'm just the lowly driver. We get one student or new hire "candidate" at a time for several weeks or a couple months before moving on to a new student while that student goes to a different crew. It builds some consistency and rapport.
Ooooh ok, gotcha. I was thinking EMT/Medic student. That makes more sense.
