Oops I did it again,
I think I may be getting to old for this job, or maybe to temperamental. I just can't stand by and say nothing to people who abuse the 911 system. Call me crazy but I thought 911 was for EMERGENCE'S!!!! Not for my head hurts, or I have the flu, and certainly not for I'm Constipated!!! I mean come now lets get real. 911 was meant for true life threatening emergence's. You know I cut my fingers off with a skill saw, or I fell off the roof and think my back is broke. Oh hay this is a good one, My chest hurts I think I'm having a Heart attach!!!
I don't mind helping some one who truly needs me but it really tic's me off when I go racing down the High Way dodging traffic and risking my on safety, only to find some one who slammed they re foot into the coffee table and now there big toe hurts. Give me a brake.
I responded to a call last shift to find a 22 year old girl laying on the sofa complaining of sever abdominal pain. I asked her how long has her stomach been hurting. She says 4 days. I ask her has she thrown up. She says no. I palpate her abdomen and she has pain on the left upper side. Well there is no vital organs there and typically the only reason for pain to the left upper side is Pancreas or you guessed it CONSTIPATION! I ask her when was the last time sh had a B.M. she says 4 or 5 days. O.K. so now I'm Pissed. So I let her have it. I said to her "you called me out here because you can't take a shit! your kidding me right". She says "no I'm not kidding i can't go". I say "what do you want me to do about it". She say " take me to the hospital". I say "why'. She says " so they can give me something to make me go". I ask her has she taken anything for this such as Ex lax or May lox"? She says no "I don't have a ride". I say this is not an emergence and you do not need to go to the Hospital for this. She says well I don't have any money and the Emergency room is FREE!!!!! O.M.G. Are you kidding me.
It's not free I have to pay something called taxes and bust my ass working just so you can go to the hospital for a laxative.
So long storey short I took her. She called and complains that I was rude. I get Rote up. How do you like that????

Well it's been a while.
I've been stressed out, after all they don't call me burnout for nothing!
I got into some trouble at work. I was called into the office for counseling and put on 6 months probation. 6 months for telling it like it is.
You see after a long day of ambulance calls 12 to be exact. I responded to a call at 2 A. M. for "one unconscious". Now to most "unconscious"Means: unresponsive,without consciousnesss, insensible, lacking awareness, (NOT I'M DRUNK). So on arrival we find the front door of the home open, we knock and step in to a house that is just really nasty. Cloths,food, dirt and garbage on the floor. Roaches are crawling up the walls. We hear someone say come in here. My partner and I turn the corner to find a 25 year old man setting in a chair and a woman standing beside him. I ask did you call for an Ambulance. The woman replies "yes I did" . I ask what's going on She replies "He need to go to the hospital". I ask why? What's going on. She says and I quote"HE'S DRUNK, WHAT THE HELL YOU THANK IS WRONG". Now remember I have already maid 12 calls before this. Out of those 12 calls only 1 was a true emergency. so I'M tired and I'm ell. I respond to this Lady with "you called 911 and got an Ambulance and a Fire truck out at 2 A.M. in the morning because he's drunk". She says. "YES I DID"! I look at the man and ask him "do you want to go the the Hospital". He replies "no I want to go to bed". I then "say why are we here? You are waisting every ones times. Don't call us again unless he's Dieing."
Well She called the Chief the next day and complained, NEVER MIND, SHE WAS FILTHY,STUPID, and Waisting every ones time ,costing the taxpayers money, and putting MY LIFE in DANGER as I respond to her home with Lights and Sirens, darting through traffic at brake neck speed because we think someone is "UNCONSCIOUS".
I get 6months probation and she gets an apology.
Sometimes my life sucks!!!!!!!

Wow We have snow in the south. I'm like really SNOW !!! We don't have snow in south Georgia. People down here don't know how to drive,walk,eat, drink, sleep, and simply can not function in the snow. My ambulance ran it wheels off. We had several fires and we don't even need to talk about the motor vehicle accidents. OMG. What a crazy 24 hr.shift. Don't get me wrong I loved it for the most part, and to give you guys that are used to snow an idea of what I'm talking about. Businesses shut down, schools closed today and people swamped the groceries stores foe supplies and all for one day of snow with an accumulative amount of 3 inches. Is that not crazy. You would think we were getting 3 feet and it was going to last for days. Well it's the next day around noon and the snow is gone and the temperature is 45 and rising. The only thing I hate about this is that I was so busy I didn't get to make a Snow man. It may be years be for we get snow again.

"Whoa is me".

My sweet little Pookie Doo

I just can't resist telling y'all about my sweet little Pookie Doo. He just the best looking thing I've never seen. He lights up my day as soon as I see him. He's my best friend too. We get into a lot things together some good some bad but we always stick it out together.
I can tell him anything. Well I can't tell him I'm jealous of his 4 wheeling trips with the guy's. He might tell me he's jealous of my shopping trips with R Susanna. I found him at work one day right under eyes. If he'd been a snake he would have bit me. You see my partner and I was sent to this out line station that I did not like to go to. We were told to post out of this station for 12 hrs. I was so upset. I don't like to go to new stations were I don't know everyone. Some time they don't receive Women well at all men stations and this was all men. Even worse it was a high rescue station were men were known for walking around with their chest puffed out. So I was not happy.
That is until I walked in sat down and in walk the man of my dreams. I swear beams of light shown down on him and Angels did sing. I couldn't take my eyes off of him the hole shift I just sat and stared. He said very little to me was was very shy but I could tell he liked me. Soooo in a very bold move as he was getting in his truck to go some one stopped him to talk. Now's my chance now or never.... I walked up be him and stuck a gum wrapper with my name and phone number on it. I then with out looking walked away.
I had to wait 2 days before he called. I was a nervous wreck I took off any one head who even come close to the phone when it range. Finely he did call and I asked him out before he could ask me. He asked was this how it was always going to be. I asked what do you mean? He said are you always going to jump the gun on everything or are you going to let me make a move. I said I don't know that depends on if you can beat me to it!!!
I know it sounds cheesy but I have loved him from the moment I laid eyes on him. He is my Pookie Doo.

What if this was was me?

Well I had a humbling experience at work the other night. I responded to a difficulty breathing call. When I arrived on scene I found a 77 yr. old lady laying in the bed. In no apparent distress. I asked "what's going on to day?" "Did you you call for an ambulance. The Lady put her nose in the air and said "Yes I did, now take me to the hospital." I asked "why are you going to the hospital the lady got very mad and yell as she slammed her fist into the bed "Just take me to the hospital I said." At this time the lady's son walked in and asked what was going on I was getting angry with the situation and said that's what I'd like to no. The Old lady is screaming now somebody take me to the hospital please!!! My partner is trying to calm her down while I talk to her son. The son tells me this happens every time I leave for the weekend. You see when they took my Mama's legs and confined her to this bed.,She gets this way when I leave her alone I'm sorry she called you all out to night. I took a Deep breath in and said to myself what would I do if this happened to me at the age of 77. Then I turn around and with a big smile on my face i said to the lady SOOO are you ready to go the hospital Lady Bug! And gave her a pat on the shoulder. She smiled a big toothy grin up at me and said that's what I've been a tell'n yea. I then said to her well lets go. My point in telling you guys this story is that even though some things or request may seams ridiculous or mundane to us but to someone Else it may mean the world.

I can't take the noise

Maybe it's just me but it seams as though everyone is obsessed with noise these days. I mean really!!! My husband runs me out of the room with his cursed surround sound. Just because you can make your teeth rattle dose not mean you have to do so.
I rarely go to the movies now because of the noise. I have to take a pair of ear plugs with me if I'm to enjoy the movie. I just can't take it.The same with music concerts, i went to one with some friends not to long ago and took my ear plugs. Everyone was laughing at me but a while into the show someone did ask if I had another pair. Honestly it was so loud you couldn't under stand a thing. just a lot of vibration.
And what's up with kids today they have so much base turned up it shakes my car and rattles my windows. I wish someone would come out with a light beam gun so I could shoot a beam at there car and short out there whole electrical system. LEAVE UM DEAD IN THE ROAD!!!
I would love to have one day of nothing but peace and quite. that would be heaven!
