Random EMT: "Man, we picked up this guy today, he was a straight up gangsta."
Me: "How so?"
Random EMT: "HIV, Hep A and B, Shot SIX TIMES in the spine, gang tattoos everywhere, history of heroin and cocaine use, crazy stuff."
Me: "That's pretty intense."
Random EMT: "Yeah, I wanted to like ask him for a war story and write it down in a book or something."
Me: "So why didn't you?"
Random EMT: "Oh, because he couldn't talk. Probably has to do with being shot in the spine six times."
It's official. I love my job, I love [most of] the people that work there, and I love the workout I get every day. Not to mention that the battle wounds I get are pretty sexy (they so get me the guys...) and I get a lot to write about (soon, I promise).
Take care out there,
Sam

About Me

She volunteers her time as an EMT in a rural town, and works part time as a lab tech at her local emergency room. If she isn't in class or studying in her apartment, you can find her at the rescue squad or emergency room getting more fodder for the aforementioned. She is very interested in feedback, and asks that you be kind enough to leave a comment if you have the time. You can contact her via email (whygomad@yahoo.com) or Instant Message (OnTheClockBlog)
