FINALLY someone else thinks its funny!
How many times in your lifetime does somebody else's survival depend on your decision-making? How many times do you think you would regret making the wrong decision?
Last night a patient of mine died because I chose to divert to the nearest hospital when he went into full arrest, instead of continuing on to our primary destination. The Doctor at the hospital we diverted to...

That's rough man. You can't blame yourself, cuz it was totally out of your hands. You did your part. That's a tough job. I totally respect that.
As far as loaning CDs go, I learned my lesson a long time ago. I either misplaced it, or someone stole it. Probably misplaced it. I'm old. Good luck w/work!

Christ. I hope the family makes a stink and she loses her job.
Ok, well, now my mystery illness has isolated itself inside my nose. I guess that means I'll be all better just in time for work tomorrow, Yay! 
But for now I've got to get a lot of shit around the house done that I've been putting off the past two days like Laundry, Dishes, Vaccuming, Garbage, X-mas Decorating, and shoveling the rest of the snow...

yeah snow can be not fun. But it's better than earthquakes, tornados, floods, forest fires, anmd most of the other shit nature dishes out to other parts of the country.
mulhollanddrive:
DEAL! When I know something, you'll know something! 
I'm sick
Decided not to work Overtime this week. Hopefully I'll feel better by Saturday
I'll be curled up in bed for the next few days when I'm not in the bathroom
Well, I can't sleep, so maybe I'll be lurking around here all day
I doubt I'll have the energy to post much

I am sorry to hear you are sick. I am home today, because I am sick as well. It is no fun, at all.
thefuckoffkid:
No puking on the keyboard, 'K? Take care of yourself.
WOW! OK, so I feel a little bit like preaching today. I read Tigerlily's latest journal entry and it really got me going. So I wrote her a LONG reply and figured it would be a good journal entry of my own (with some editing, of course)....
Love is not only our true state of being, it is our soul. We are spiritual beings...

Your dog looks cute in glasses. He reminds me of the days when my ex would put sunglasses on his boxer dog's ass for giggles. That cropped tail looked just like a big, ugly honker!
OK, I know I said I loved the first big snow of the year, but this is ridiculous! 30+ inches and I spent the past 24 hours working in it! In between all of the 911 calls, we were shoveling the driveway and parking lot so we could get our ambulance in and out, digging/pulling out several of our BLS ambulances (vans) from snow banks,...

Oooohh! I slept so well yesterday and last night. I haven't slept like that in ages! I feel completely stress-free today! I going to enjoy this feeling until it starts all over tomorrow at 5:30am, after Wednesday I'm going to take it easy for a few weeks and only work the requisite 48 hours a week. I need a break before I get burned out....

Thank you for the offer, but he should have it already. I did not realize there was a shop in my town. I drove to it and was like, when did this get here?? But I sent them a week ago and he should have them both. Thank you for the offer.
hopefully I'll get the evening of the 0th off and we'll get a chance to hang out.

Oh Xanax, my loverly friend! After working 134 of the last 192 hours I'm ready for the blissful rest that you will provide. I hope to be sleeping for the next two days, with a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. Whatever you do, don't mess with a hibernating bear!

hey thanks!!
Sorry that I haven't been around lately, I've just worked 88 of the last 120 hours. This is quite legal in my business, in fact very commonplace. Another reason that our interventions/skills must be "muscle memory" so we can perform them in our sleep if we have to w/o thinking, as my instructors used to say. Because a lot of the time we are half-asleep...

A kid I knew years ago laid down in the bath tub and poured gas all over himself. He had third degree burns over 80-90% of his body and lived. I can't imagine how big a failure he must have felt after that, but he always seemed rather cheerful. I wonder what (if anything) he's doing now.
I jsut worked the worst 24 hours of my life. Too much fucked up shit to get into right now. I have to work forty hours starting tomorrow at 3pm.
But, I got a thank you card and a nice cinnnamon-apple bread from a patient's mother yesterday. I took care of her daughter last week when she had a seizure. I never expected that kind...
