It is amazing how you can meet someone for the first time, spend a total of a few hours together, then miss them like crazy when life takes them away, even if only for a time. How on earth does that work? Someone you didn't even know existed two weeks ago leaves you with an empty spot that feels impossible to fill. :sad:

Ok, enough of my nonsense. I am going to bed to try to sleep so I don't know I miss someone. Never works of course......

Yeah I know EXACTLY what you're saying. Know someone for a month and miss them for a lifetime :/ hardly seems fair huh.

Yea....not fair at all. There are few people you meet in life that just bypass all the superficial stuff and move strait into your heart. Sucks when they cant be there any more. Be that forever or just for a time, it still sucks.

Tonight I ran across a patient that remembered me transporting them a little over 18 months ago. Spent about 40mins with them that night going from an ER to inpatient psych.

They even quoted back the advice i gave and conversation we had. They said that talking helped alot.

Pretty neat.

That's awesome! It's always nice to see when we make a positive impact on a patient's life.

It was cool!
She fealt embarrassed at first to bring it up because she thought I didn't remember. Once she quoted the advice it clicked who she was.

The guys on Ladder 29 and maybe engine 22 are great. Ran a Bari call with them earlier and they were super helpful. More surprised looks at the Bari truck in action.

Borrowed from EMSworld. I think, may have been some other EMS Facebook page.
