Oh well, it was a good call. ATV accident at 60-65 mph...patient slid approximately 150 feet on his back. Massive road rash.
He was actually standing up when we arrived on scene. His biggest complaint was that the sweat was causing his injuries to sting. Oh yeah, he was also upset when we cut his clothes off of him as we did a standing backboard and collar.Originally posted by MMiz@Jun 21 2004, 11:29 PM
That sounds like a good call to me. I haven't really worked a full MVC code yet, it always seems I get cancelled by ALS if they already have enough people on-scene.
I wasn't aware ATVs could even go that fast. I'm learning new stuff all the time.

You were missed, but it sounds like you had a great time.Originally posted by Chimpie@Jul 6 2004, 08:06 AM
See, I go away for a couple of days and you all miss the 1000 mark. C'mon! :angry:
Just playin. I had a great 4th. We went to the beach to watch the 'big show'. It was great because before the show started everyone was doing their own 'little show'. I thought they would all stop once the 'big show' started. Oh no. They kept going and the entire beach sky was just covered by fireworks. It was so bright, so loud and so smokey... it was so cool.
It's great to be back. Only two more days of freedom and then it's off to the new job. Yep, I'm no longer working at the private retirement community. Instead I'm a corporate geek working accounting and payroll. Much better hours and this will allow me to go to EMT and FF school at night. WOO HOO!!

Congrats on that! It seems like an amazing opportunity! Do you need an assistant?Originally posted by Chimpie@Jul 6 2004, 11:09 AM
For the first time in seven years my job has absolutely nothing to do with security, fire or ems. I wanted to do something different and was basically recruited for this job. One of my old managers called me up a little over a month ago (we both got laid off after our company downsized) and said that there was an opening in their office and the first person he thought of was me. One month later they offered me a job paying more than I asked and more than they were advertising. How could I turn it down.
