So....have I been in EMS too long? When I close my folding knife on my finger, slicing the side of my fingertip clean off, and the very first thing I think is:
DANG it is going to be hard to chart for a week or two!

90mph indicated equals one mile marker every 35 seconds or so

So good news. Sled is only gonna be easy to fix and relatively cheap at ~$500. Unfortunately no news on the shoulder. It doesn't hurt nearly as bad but every now and again if I'm a dummy and don't wear the immobilizer I forget I'm broken and will reach for something...bad juju.
90 MPH is 150% of 60 (which would be 1 per min). That extra 50% subtracted from 60 is 30...Every 40 seconds even
Or am I just stupid (most likely answer :rofl

Not saying you're stupid, but you're ever so slightly mistaken this time. You don't subtract percentages quite like you did in your example. You're picturing 120 MPH, since it is exactly twice the speed and would thus take half the time. This is basically a units conversion problem like in General Chemistry. Since 90 MPH is 3/2 (150%) of 60 MPH, it will take 2/3 the time to go a given distance. In 60 seconds at 60 MPH, one mile is traveled. Keeping a constant distance of one mile and varying the speed alone means 2/3 of 60 seconds is 40 seconds.
Who knew EMTLife on Christmas could also provide fun with math?
You don't have to, I'll feel free to say it myself
Gotcha. Been a while since I've had to take a math class, haha.

Two words that don't belong in the same sentence. I don't mind doing or teaching math, but I don't think I've ever called it fun.<_<

Sometime in 2014 (probably March) we can start using CPAP for asthma and are adding Fent to our drugs! We are slowly catching up to the rest of the US haha.

Most legit nosebleed ever. Guy filled an entire emesis bag with blood. 4 neosynephrine packed sponges, ice, and a plug all had zero effect. Hypertension and Coumadin combined to make the poor guy look like a shooing victim.
Also the ambulance has a phantom airhorn (a real one, not the siren). Some awkward moments have ensued as a result.
