Wow. Things have been so busy. I have seen many different things, and have learned a lot, just from the 3 shifts I've done. The guy I work with is super quiet, but nice. He knows his stuff really well. Needless to say, on my second shift I got 30 minutes of sleep, and last night a whole 3 hours. It was nice to get those three hours though. I am off ( Read more... )

So today I went to go meet my precepter out in Simi Valley. I got to the station and noticed that there wasn't any ambulances around, so they must have been on a call. Luckily a different ambulance came and let me in the station. I got some good study time out of it ( Read more... )

So I found out that I will be interning at the biggest ambulance company in the county (AMR). Apperently my precepter (guy who is in charge of me, and will take me under his wing) has been a paramedic since the late 70's. All of the guys in my class that know him says he is a really nice and a laid back kind of guy. I am glad about that. I am not ( Read more... )

I feel like crap.

My tonsils are the size of grapefruits, its gross. and my tempurature yesturday was 103.2. So I went to Urgent Care got a big ass shot and some horse pills to kill this thing. I just want to eat normally again.

Anyways, I am going to go nap and play some video games.

So my wisdom teeth are out, and I am doing alright. Last night I took some vicodin before I went to sleep and hallucinated a bit, so no more for me. My dreams seemed so real, and I couldn't decide whether or not I was awake or not ( Read more... )

SO my wisdom teeth are all out and everything went fine. I am super hungry and I can't eat anything that is solid, so that is the worst part about it. It doesn't hurt all that bad, just my tongue seems pretty sore. I am just really hungry, and my breath is really bad because I don't know whther or not I should brush my teeth ( Read more... )

Nothing new is going on. I am still a thriving paramedic intern. Things are coming easier to me now at the hospitals, and I am getting more done. Each day I feel more and more comfortable, but I am still way behind on my IVs. I am doing plenty of them, but my teachers say I am far behind the rest of the class ( Read more... )

Not much going on. Still doing my clinicals, and my hours changed so I don't have to get up at the butt crack of dawn. Lately I've gotten to see a few things, opened my eyes a little. It's sad to say, but it's good for a paramedic in learning to see a lot ( Read more... )

Lots of pharmacology this weak, so I must cut this post short ( Read more... )

So today I missed a really easy IV, and that kind of stuff brings me down. I had good form, did everything the way I was supposed to but I either went in to far or the nurse pulled it out. Stupid. I should be getting these by now. We had a pretty good trauma this morning, but it ended up not being all to serious. I am still at the hospital, but ( Read more... )
