Story of the day............
I use to love watching war movies (like Black Hawk Down) and seeing the Medic all covered in dirt and stuff, hearing that someone was in trouble and running to the patient in their time of need
Today was that day for me
........................now for the back story to the situation
Every time I hear someone making fun of the Canadian Miliitary for not having enough money for proper equipment and stuff, I always try to defend our Nations Armed Forces...............until I found myself washing our ambulance with a garden hose! today
Deciding to make the most of the situation, my partner and I got a little carried away with the soap and water causing it to rain muddy water all over the wash bay we were in. As we were doing this I said to her :
"Wouldn't it be funny if the crash bell went off right now?"
and before she even had a chance to respond to my stupid comment........
"BEEP...............BEEP!"
Ah shit! A 2 bell, meaning an air born emergency
Now usually with these all we have to do is park the ambulance at the base of the Air Traffic Control Tower until the jet lands safely.....but not today 
Of course it had to be a Physioloigical incident (Smoke in the cockpit) meaning that we had to drive like a bat out of hell (bubbles flying off of the ambulance leaving a soapy trail behind us) out to the air craft and retrieve not one, but 2 pilots!!!! 
I felt so silly running out to them all decked out in my emergency gear with bubbles in my hair and mud on my face 
The pilots were ok but they noticed my car wash camo All they could do was giggle at me cause they realized what we were in the middle of when the were escorted to an ambulance covered in bubbles
Thinking that it couldn't get any worse than this...we made our way back to the hospital to find that everyone had left for the day which wouldn't have been so bad on a normal day. Unfortunately when these physiological incidents happen we have to take blood and urine samples from the pilots. When they give us the urine samples we have to (against their wishes) watch to make sure that we are getting their own urine. I don't really care so I went in with both pilots and made sure they went wee wee in the containers like good little boys After that, I took them to the lab to collect their blood samples. Now by this time one of the pilots was starting to feel a little ill (probably from all the excitement) and as I poked the needle into his skin, he jumped and yanked his arm back but when a person has a tourniquet on this causes the vein to gush bright red blood out (usually on me) and sure enough I was the target of choice 
So now I am covered in soap, mud AND blood .......................
Just like the Medic in the movies
Hope you all had a great day
