Let me just say, that I am GLAD I am not working today.

I could just hear the radio "Yeah I know there is a tornado in the area but you've got a discharge off the floor, patient's ready."

Same company that sent us to a hospital that was on Code Black.

I love that kind of thinking. Like the world will stop turning if we wait 2 hours for the storm to pass before we start bringing the people out into it.

As if they care about you getting off late...
 
Asimurk felt nauseous, feels nauseous. Then he looked at a BAC calculator from last night and wondered how much sambuca he drank to possibly have a BAC of 0.17234.

"Oh sure, get the drunk guy to do it." Love you too, Tomm.

Who the hell did I ban last night?

Oh yeah, stay safe Sasha.

What are you talking about?! Machines ARE always accurate!! I almost treated a "chest pain" when the machine told me the patient was in asystole! What a waste of time that would have been! (Philips fail...)

This month has been completely insane. It's bad when you lose count of the SWAT calls and officer-involved-shootings.

Agreed. Those calls are way too familiar in my area as well.

We've lost 3 officers in two separate incidents in a 3 month span.

That's really sad. Fortunately we haven't lost any of our officers... just 3 injured.

A couple months ago we had a firefighter get shot and passed away. The week after an officer was hit by a passing car and passed away. And then the week after that a medic or EMT committed suicide. All of those hit this area hard.

Are we talking STEMI, or are we talking rhythm? For STEMIs they're actually fairly sensitive and specific, it's just the other stuff it's not great at doing.

Nine days.
 
After the medic I worked with last nigt I was tempted. I may or may not have threatened to push her out the back of the box while driving down the interstate... And I only have 8 days left of work here... nine days till I get to Western NM

It surprises me how low the pay is in NM. Been tempted a time or to myself.

It is. I make more here as an I than I will in NM... but NM has other benefits :) Pay for techs is actually decent though on the other hand.
