Back to the Winning Ways

The Cougar game vs. Oregon was today. I was working Rescue today. Keith and Brian were on with me. We had a couple issues to deal with in the stands, but for the most part I was able to stay at the game and watch it. It was awesome. The Cougs were working on beating number sixteen Oregon. In fact they did beat Oregon pretty easily. The Cougs looked like the team that faced USC. They played really well and just kept scoring against the Ducks. They put Ryan Leaf’s brother in the game for Oregon. He drove the ball a couple times and got some scores, but we ended up beating the ducks.

Brian went to Beasley for the Monster Truck show and Keith worked Rescue with me for a couple hours while we did not have Brian. We got called out to an injured person at Daggy Hall. When we left there the Ambulance and Rescue went to Beasley for the Monster Truck show. We were there only a little bit when we got called to a small leaf fire. When we arrived Capt had us use the foam and water on Rescue to cover the ground and hot spots so it did not reignite. As we were leaving that scene we get toned back to nearly the same place for someone who was needing detox. The ambulance had left Beasley and was rolling through Greek Row on their way back to the station. I was behind them. We were only a couple blocks away so we went to the scene.

The guy was really drunk and needed to be retrained. Ofc. Bell and I rode back to the hospital in the ambulance. I helped keep the guy on the cot when he would try to get up.

Following that call Keith and I got the rescue filled with water. It was quiet for while. Brian and I were at the station watching some TV after he got back from the Monster Truck show when we got toned to go north of Pullman. We were the first rig on scene for someone who fell. A guy who was a nurse was on scene. He was being a huge pain in the rear. He was yelling that we were not doing things right. When the call was done he came up and said that our first thing that we need to worry about when we get on scene is that the patient and the people around the patient are comfortable. I was so mad but I did not say anything. I guess that is the difference between a hospital and the scene. Our first thing is ABC’s. This guy has no clue. Following that call I was fuming. I let it out on the way to the hospital.

The rest of the night we kept getting called out to places. I did not actually make it to bed until after five in the morning. With golf in the morning I know I will be very tired.
