Hi there, let me take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am, well i'm me. You probably don't know me and for your sake, hopefully we'll never meet. I am at your service, a public servant if you will. Employed by your local government to serve you. Educated for the past 3 years for no reason other than to answer to your beck n' call. If you do me one favor in your life, please don't abuse me, because it happens quite often. So if you've taken it upon yourself to read this far, your probably asking, just who is this guy? or girl as it may be. I'm your local firefighter/paramedic. I've worked as an EMT for the past 2 years and I'm just about through with paramedic school and my associates of science degree in Emergency Medical Services. I'm one of many like me across the country and even the world. Often overworked and under appreciated but always there when needed. I've only been employed by a municipal Fire Rescue agency a short time and in that time have become wise beyond my years, seen things I would never wish upon another, seen things you'd never believe and laughed to the point of tears. I love what I do and I wouldn't trade it for the world. So in my relatively short tenure as a health care professional/fire protection engineer/slave to the masses I've run my fair share of fairly interesting, sometimes devastating, occasionally hilarious but never dull calls. Therefore I've decided to keep a journal of said calls. Each call run, however insignificant in the scheme of things is a lesson learned, a red light run , and a soul touched. So sit back, grab the beverage of your choice and enjoy the roller coaster this is sure to be. For several reasons, (many of which are legal, in addition to protecting the confidentiality of patients and crews) this blog will be kept anonymous, names will be changed to protect all those involved. But please feel free to comment!
till the tones drop...
- at your service
