"PRECIOUS CARGO"

This photo is real. Our last patient for the shift. The story, sad for most reasons; happy for others. Nonetheless, important...to show people not EVERY PATIENT we see in our Sick Bus is just another *Shaking Head Moment* kind of patient....SOME- out of necessity. But this one...THIS one- with a purpose for the greater good.

Somethings just don't expire...Stupid being one of them...

*****Firstly- I will point out that this one is a doozy in length...but shortened, just doesn't quite express the level of "DUH" I am looking to get across ;-) ENJOY!!*****

We all learn how/what to use 9-1-1 for growing up. Right around the same time when learning your phone number and address was a homework assignment. When you were told to *STERN MOTHERLY VOICE*, "Don't answer the door for strangers!"...Right?! Yes...in the before time- when you could count your age on ONE hand! I remember being told how to use 9-1-1 as clearly as having my tonsils out...airway obstructing, pain caused necessity. NOT just for the treat of unlimited fruity flavored Popsicle's. *SIGH*

"Man Down"- The Finale!

Miracles can happen. Believe that to your very core! Not naively...with hope but understanding that it might not be time for your miracle, but elsewhere- it IS time for someone else's.

"Man Down"...Part Two

"WOOOOOOOOooooooo.....", The ALS siren dies out as they jolt to a stop on-scene. Every movement appearing delayed and mechanical from the Rave effect produced by the Strobes; the Red & Amber's flashing like the pounding of a deep, heavy base.

Hello, 9-1-1?? Yes, I'm too lazy to walk to my car....


It's unfortunate that it seems every year, the age of those using 9-1-1: routinely, as if using a phone version of Goolge, gets younger and younger. Since entering in to the world of EMS, I transport more people younger than me than traumatic injuries. AND- for things that, for lack of a better term- are seeking attention as a child would while throwing a temper tantrum. This one, barely a few years in to their 20's, already plays the system and wins...expect tonight.
