Got two days off and I feel like learning something new. Anyone come across any good reads lately?

OMGSOMANY...of course, it depends on what you're interested in.

(Just one from me to post now: A fun "long read" on Baumol's cost disease.)

Is there an EMS equivalent of a critical access hospital?

Got my bag checked in, however I'm still on standby for the flight, I'm #3 in line, and currently there's only 1 open seat, however the guy said there's always openings on this flight, plane should arrive at the gate at 3:20, boarding is 4:15 which is when I should get a seat assigned (hopefully). So I think I'll go back to the USO (it's like almost directly across the way from Terminal 2 where I'm at) for a bit then head thru security and wait in the terminal (USO is comfy-er lol)

Some no good, rotten SOB broke a window in my truck last night. Nothing stolen, but now I've got a $300 window glass replacement on tap for this afternoon. The cops think it was some local kids.

I am not going to take time on this so I will say it was the local kids

The only hypnosis I am aware of that works is the stare of life (yes, you know, when you look at your a patient during a 20 min taxi ride and do nothing).

My neck is killing me after 3+ hrs of NVG flying last night. I need to invest in a good counter balance.

Never works for me. They still call back.

Some of the other crew members swear by these. Even on our LDT's I haven't found them to be incredibly heavy, yet.

Side note: we're getting new helmets (insert childish "tee hee" giggle).

I'm wondering if it'd be worth the investment before our next drill when we're undoubtedly gonna be meandering around the back hills of Pendleton under NODs (and 50lb rucks) again like last drill lol

Only thing I'd that I'd only ever use one 1 or 2 nights a month at most for the forseeable future so idk if one would be worth the money

Can you deduct it? Unreimbursed business expense

WooHoo, got a seat on the standby list, boarding my plane now for Honolulu!

I must have over paid on one of my payments for my wife's 10 year upgraded diamond because I got a $65 check in the mail. Happy V Day to me.

Now to grill up some steaks for my three Valentines.

I think I've given myself more meds this shift than we have any of our patients. I feel like I'm gonna die
