thanks. i just think that if the volunteer says they wanna run they should stay the whole shift. i just wanna chug some nightquill ok a crap load and go to bed and something to make me stop throwing up would be stellar.

Too bad there's no -I or Medic around to maybe hit you with a little phenergan

I was thinking Zofran but same principle, 500cc fluid and some Zofran, maybe even throw in some valium to help you sleep like a baby. No reason to buy Nyquil when we can make our own :p

Are you still on now?

I felt like that the other day, couldn't find anyone to cover for me either. I just tried to waste time to make it go by faster.

Of course watching House made me feel a little better! I know it sounds easier than it is, but just try not to think about it.

Good luck!

With my service if there is only one member on duty then the rig doesn't leave the bay regardless of any calls that come in. If there is only 1 then the hospital is told the ambulance service is shut down until a second member shows up.
