Another Busy Night

September 12th, 2008

This is not something I would normally put into words but it really made me laugh hard. I was doing rig checks in the morning. I was in our first out ambulance and I let loose with a little gassiness. I heard someone coming so I stepped out and closed the door so the odor wouldn’t get out there.

About ten minutes later my partner opened the door and said “I smells really bad in there.” I didn’t say anything. Soon he had the back door open trying to air it out. Before long he grabbed a mop and mopped out the back of the ambulance thinking it was something in there. It made it smell better, but I started to laugh my head off.

In the afternoon a rider from Colfax Fire came. She was assigned to my ambulance. It was a quiet afternoon and evening. We went to the store and got food for dinner. It was a very good dinner. We were there until eleven o’clock. Finally the rider was sent home. Within eighteen minutes we were sent on our first call.

It didn’t take long and we were running from call to call. I was able to get a quick hour of sleep. Then we had more calls. I got back to bed at five in the morning. I was only going to get one hour of sleep before I had to go on a road trip to Seattle.
