I’m home with the boy and the wife today. Life is good. I love the new job and after the meeting with the medical director yesterday, I am cleared to start the FTO process.
This week I:
Delivered a baby
RSI’d a gonzo’d motorcycle driver
had Two cardiac arrests
coded a 9 day old baby
Provided lift assist to a 300 lb naked man in his shower. Ew.
made it home to see my family
Some good calls. Some bad calls. But, best of all… I’m running calls.
Godspeed, friends!

Coding a 9 year old must be one of the scariest things any paramedic might be faced with.
Sounds like one heck of a week!
Take care, and enjoy your time with the family
Strong work… For the record, though, I hate working kids. Always have.
THanks guys. Been great hanging with my family these few days.
I'm happy to see that your difficult choice turned out to be the right one! Keep up the good work, and the blogging.
