So yesterday was semi uneventful except around 330 I was sitting at Station 1 watching Hills Have Eyes and the pagers go off for a vehicle fire. This was a call just for my station so me, captain Fedorich, driver and probie head to a farm. We went maybe a quarter mile behind the house to find a ride on mower fully involved. We pulled a 200ft 1 3

eh, that much of a fluctuation in BP isn't too horrible... the defining question is, what is his baseline BP? If that's just slightly elevated for him, that's not so bad. I saw a guy who was so hypertensive he had blood coming from his tear ducts... his BP was 250 systolic.

Yea but It was a sinkable episode so we can't truly diagnose whats wrong. He had no heart history whatsoever no history of diabetes, If i remember correctly he had history of CVA. His blood pressure was usually at 120 systolic I believe. This is why I need to write PCR's right away or I forget the little monday details. The ambulance and our ALS was coming from Syracuse so we were on scene for quite awhile. and if shit hit the fan...we could only do so much thats where it becomes worry some.

i keep forgetting not everyone works in the inner city like me. EMS changes drastically depending on the setting.

Wow sounds like you had quite the exciting time. Congratulations on your grades! you're coming out this way this friday right? I'm done at work at 12:45, so I'll likely be home around 1:30-2. It all depends on how quickly I pack up and leave, these days that happens pretty quickly. :)

Hey u've posted... I guess it's been about 6 months so you are due for an entry. How did u pull a B- in radio? I e-mailed Keith to find out how bad the 2nd test was... I did real bad but b/c of the point system I don't think "real bad" was really that bad.

Keep in contact and we'll chill in the city.
