Covering B Shift

February 26th, 2006

I only got about five hours of sleep today. I got up and worked on getting stuff completed on the Thunder Website. I have all the newspaper articles posted. I have also added some new features including profiles and hometown’s. It has been a lot of work getting to the point I am at right now.

Around three in the afternoon a call came out for someone who had fallen from a horse. I went to the station, but Rescue did not roll. Jesse from B-shift was there and said Medic did not need us. So I just hung around a little bit talking to Dan. Jesse asked me if I would work tonight. I thought about it a few moments and said yes I would.

I went back to the office to work more on the Thunder website. Time was slipping away from me. It wasn’t until two minutes before six o’clock that I realized it was getting late. At the same time the tones were going off. It was for a roll over accident. I got going quickly and went to the station. I did not have a chance to put on my uniform. But I was going to wear my turn-outs so I was good to go. I was with Blanks going to the call. He was driving and I was working the siren.

The call was several miles out on the airport rode. A girl had put the car on its side in a ditch after rolling. She got herself out of the car. I helped get her on the backboard and get her strapped down. Myself and an EMT from District Twelve went to the hospital with the patient. I let the D-Twelve guy do most of the work as he does not get a chance to do as many things in the Ambulance. I did the HEAR report coming into the hospital, which is rare in Pullman for a reserve to do that.

We got out at the hospital and got the patient moved to the hospital bed. The D-Twelve guy wanted to ask some questions and I was giving him some pointers. He wanted to get better. While I was talking to him Blanks was getting restless and wanted to go. His girlfriend was waiting with dinner as they were just about going to eat when the call came in.

I told Blanks that I wanted one more minute. As I was finishing up my final statement to the guy the tones went off again. This time for someone in seizures. It was at the corner of Spokane and Stadium way. As we were en route we were upgraded because it was actually someone on a bike and he crashed into a light pole. Rescue got on scene first and I took patient care. The ambulances were there right away and we got the guy to the hospital. I also did the HEAR report on that one.

Once we were done with that one we were on our way back to the station when we got another call at the gyms at WSU. We were closer than anyone else so we got on scene and dealt with the patient. I again had patient care. I cancelled the other units and sent them back to the station. We got the refusal signed and left.

We finally got to the Deuce. I was going to have to do a report for the last patient. So I got logged in. But I decided to grab some dinner and get my uniform on. I left to do that then came back and ate there. I talked to Rudy for a while as I was eating. Then I got my report done and printed.

Dan came out of his room and we played a couple games of Madden Football on the XBox. I finally left around one in the morning. No more than ten minutes after leaving we got a call. I drove on this one and we got the patient to the hospital. It was now raining so we had to wash Rescue before calling it a night.

I got back to my office and finally figured out why an update was not working on the player profile on the Thunder Website. I got that fixed and then rebuilt the latest site to the webhost before going to bed.
