We can think better

Who can think better than you? The government! The EU has apparently banned the claim that drinking water can prevent dehydration - El linko: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8897662/EU-bans-claim-that-water-can-prevent-dehydration.html

hy·drate

[hahy-dreyt] Show IPA noun, verb, -drat·ed, -drat·ing.
noun
1.any of a class of compounds containing chemically combined water. In the case of some hydrates, as washing soda, Na 2 CO 3 ⋅10H 2 O, the water is loosely held and is easily lost on heating; in others, as sulfuric acid, SO 3 ⋅H 2 O, or H 2 SO 4 , it is strongly held as water of constitution.
This is hand in hand with my claim that we should be allowed to consume alcohol on duty as it prevents stress. I see a shift towards my way of thinking. Bravo EU!

Tele-pycho

The suspect insisted to investigators that Pierce had been "telepathically threatening" himself and his wife, and claimed his neighbor "had telepathically raped his wife on many occasions," police told The Tribune.
Read the rest of the story on this jackass. Dude is a baby raper too! Things like this really do deserve a death penalty or some island where these maniacs can hash it out. Just get them out of society

Acuity

It's a unique view...night paints the world into discontinuance and only the flashing lights bring you into focus. You're standing at the edge of cold pavement, your arms drawn up as you try and keep yourself from bursting. You're watching a slide show of the one that brought it all to you. Knowing you are losing something that cannot be replaced. Even if you tried it would just make you want it back even more. The wound is being cut... you are realizing that it is lost.

Snatched this from youtube. Know you have heard this before but give it another listen. GB is one of my all time favorite artists.


Finger nails

Anyone else hate finger nails? I hate how they grow ten times faster than toe nails. I prefer toe nails over finger nails. Less maintenance ..... I hate sneezing as well. What a waste of my time!

Paramedic

I don't know where I left off and I really don't care to read hundreds of my own blog posts to find out. I got hired on to the Fire Department ( I think that part was obvious) and within the last couple of months I finished paramedic school and passed my test. I am now a Fire Fighter / Paramedic or FireMedic.

School was a major drain. It was intense and very stressful. I had no life for well over a year and it feels like all I did was read medical books and take test every other day.

Here I am now, blogging before your very eyes, a FireMedic. It's done! I've come out the other side with the "red patch" and a new found respect for Amiodarone

To the drunk driver

Darkness pushed away by the red and white lights of my ambulance emergency strobe. The quite country side called to attention by with the ambulance siren. "Medic 21, launch med-evac and have P.D. close down the intersection". I had just fallen asleep to Pawn Stars 5 minutes earlier. I was dead tired as well as my partner. We had been running since 1100 hrs and here it is 0250 the next day. The only time I have had to rest is between runs while enroute to the next 911 call.

"Med-evac accepted and ETA 17 minutes" the radio called as it snapped my attention back to the call and away from the recliner that was sitting empty back at the station. "Received dispatch, Medic 21 is 5 minutes out". "Received" droned dispatch.

"What do you think?" Asked my partner. "Drunk, female, small car, and out in this part of the county....most likely a meth head. My partner, the paramedic, trusts my intuition. My partner is also the best damn mentor I have ever had. She begins to draw out an action plan for the "unconscious person in the road" call we just received.

"I want you to get initial impression and I'll get the back setup. If the local F.D. is there, establish vitals and make sure they stay on the airway maintenance." She says as she looks over at me and smiles. "Yeah, yeah, yeah....big dumb fire fighter. Me distracted by bright lights". It's good for a early morning laugh.

When we roll up on scene we are no loner laughing. Flipped on its top is a small car off the road side with a female pt. impaled on a fence post. Beer cans litter the grassy road side. The pt. is drunk, pissed, high on something (suspect meth), and fighting us like a coked out spider monkey. The only time we can subdue her is when she stops breathing and we can finally cut her down.

We have to entubate her and manage her respirations for her. As I am working this scene, a police officer come over and hand me some of her medication.

"While using this medication, do not consume alcohol and
operate a motor vehicle results may cause harm or injury"

You know, I bet if she had read this then none of this would have happened.

First in

I love being first in to a fire. Maybe its the rookie in me or maybe this excitement never goes away. crawling on my hands and knees dragging 100+ of charged hose line with the walls and ceiling on fire and shit exploding around me.

To think that just a few years ago I was just another office rat sitting being a computer dying slowly.

Mr. Bad A


I kind of like John Travolta. He's not a bad actor and some of the sly cool type movies he plays in are some of my favorites. But...uh...was any one else creeped out when they saw this magazine cover at the grocery store.

He went from Mr. Cool to creep dude. Like L. Ron Hubberd creepy.

Paramedic

Did I mention that I was in paramedic school? Yeah, I am about half way in the school... well maybe 1/4. It's a long and very detailed career. Almost like drinking from a fire hydrant. You'll get the water, just not the way you wanted it. Same with school.

Holy guacamole! Just the drugs alone are mind numbing. I have to recall several dozen drugs, their class, actions, indications, contraindications, precautions, side effects, dosage, onset, peak effects, route, pediatric dosage, and other special notes. I have to know all of this and recall it all like it is second nature or I get knocked points.

So I mention all this so you folks now why I am not posting very much.

BTW, January Jones is a mega-babe!

Being watched?

In my last post I discussed how I am done with New Years resolutions. Now everywhere I turn the media is talking about it. On the radio they are talking about it. In the Newspapers there are articles about people not doing it.

Am I Trend setter? I like to think so..... :P
