ekat... two something an hour reminded me of a funny story...
Years ago, and I mean YEARS,, there was a meeting held with all the different transporting agencies in southern california. It was some sort of big deal to organize everyone for the next big earhtquake. If you can imagine some large auditorium in Los angeles filled with EMS providers. The person hosting the meeting asked everyone to stand and say their name and what agency they represented. One by one people stood and "Peter Smith, Paramedic from Ontario fire" It was going on like this for ever and then a paramedic I knew who worked for Joshua tree ambulance stood and said "Rick Smith, paramedic and I work for PEANUTS!" The whole place erupted in laughter.
Those were the days

OK, I'll be the devil's advocate here,
GET THE F OUT BEFORE YOU'RE F'ED UP IN THE HEAD FROM ALL THAT YOU'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS IN EMS.
or; use it as a stepping stone to a more livable art such as LN, or PA, etc.

Create places for them... I like that. Sounds like solid advice eKat.
Thanks for sharing that call S.Powers, sounds like a mess alright. Thinking about you guys doing your job well is inspiring and something to draw on when I'm on a bad call (wow, that's pretty hoaky sounding isn't it... ) I probably won't be able to do any more ride-alongs for another week or two, but when I do, if anything dramatic happens I'll post up.
I have an autopsy viewing scheduled for april 3rd... I'm really looking forward to it. I think checking out all the anatomy in a non-emergency situation will be a tremendous learning opportunity.
