Hey everyone, Paramedic stopping in to say hi.

It looks like highway 75. We had a whole rash of motorcycle deaths in this area in 1999/2000. There was a group of kids that liked to push their crotch rockets to 150+ mph. Unfortunately 75 has a long straight stretch that is semi rural and TPD/OHP doesn't spend alot of time out there.

I once worked with a Basic with 18 yrs experience. Every time a patient would start to vomit she would bail. So don't feel too bad. I am sorry I do not know a quick fix, like someone has already said we all have our triggers. Mine is the smell of a GI bleed. :wacko:
