Busy day of calls

December 16th, 2005

This morning I was woken up at around six-twenty for a car accident. Reed showed up and we went en route. We got to the one-ninety-four and Wawawai turn off when we were cancelled. So we turned around and headed back to the station. As we were getting ready to back the rig into the station the tones went off for a sick person on Bishop Blvd. We went code to that and helped transport the patient to the hospital. We had to get gas on our way back to the station. We washed the rig because it was really dirty.

I got to work and went to work on my bugs. I was able to clear a couple of them off the table for myself. So I felt like I made some accomplishments. I still have more bugs to take care of.

I am covering for Josh, who I found out the other day has tendered his resignation. He wants to focus on coaching high school basketball. So he does not have enough time to do both the fire department and basketball. Four years ago he would have, but today, reserves are a lot more busy than in the past so I could understand that.

I am on Rescue with Erik. We were going to go to station one for photos and then get back to the deuce so we could go home and do our thing. I was planning on hanging out with Ryan because we missed it yesterday. But before leaving station one when we were done with the pictures we got a call for a fire alarm. We got on scene and were released at nearly the same time. So we went back and parked. I filled in my time card and the tones go off for a drunk person at State and McKenzie. I was the driver, but it was a bravo so we came in non-code. Going up McKenzie was so slow it looked like we were going it on purpose. But it was floored and barely made it up the hill.

I walked down and there was a guy sitting on the ground. He did not want to cooperate too well. But I made a connection with him. I got him to work with me. I ended up doing most of the medical things I needed to in order to get him kicked loose. He was all over the board. Some times being very easy to deal with, other times being nearly impossible. But I was able to do enough and work with him enough to get our job done. When it was over with Erik told me he was very impressed with what I did with him and he told me he thought I had done a very good job. I thanked him for the compliments.

After that was done I got ahold of Ryan and discussed what we were going to have for dinner. It was decided that we would get Cougar Country. I stopped there and got the dinner. I went with it to Ryan’s place. We were getting ready to watch the Bad News Bears, the new version of it. That was when another call came out. Someone hurt himself and we had to go pick him up and take him to the hospital. It sounded pretty serious when we were given updates. I was thinking broken neck. It turned out when we got there he had feeling and was getting better, but he was still worried about everything.

Following the transport I went to Ryans and we finally watched the Bad News Bears. It was a pretty good movie. I was worth watching once.

I got online and got into a conversation with someone from the UI. We talked for about two and a half hours. It was past four in the morning when I finally got to bed. I was pretty tired by that time. But it was fun talking to this guy. I hope we talk again soon. He seemed very nice.
