hey guys! this has nothing to do with skydiving but i wanna share anyway!
okay. i had to run two 12 hour shifts today. last night 6pm to 6am this morning then 6am this morning until 6pm. The crew that i had today was a different crew. one that i never ran ambulance duty with. But our crew chief (ie: the one in charge) didnt know that he was on duty so he didnt show up.. my chief decided to let this day be a learning experience for me and made me the crew chief. He wanted to see how i could handle a new situtation. well, handle it I did! I just took charge like ive watched my crew chief do so many times before. Treating, driving, radio contact with dispatch, police and additional units...everything. I even got some training in for the new guy, hes been an EMT for about 9 months but hes new to our squad and had some learning to do. BUt he did great. we worked magnificently together. And today was only the second time that we ever ment.
I dont know how to describe this feeling. I had obstacles to overcome like deciding the priority of the call, if paramedics were needed, how to handle different scenes, detailed reports to the ER staff... a whole lot of things. But I was able to do it. And that just makes me happy as hell. :) :) :) :)
I just got done talking to my ambulance chief and he said "you showed me a lot today, you really proved yourself" oh man, next to "5 minute call!" thats the best thing ive heard in a long time :)
ah well. i wanna go be happy and tell my mom about my exausting day (7 calls since 3:15 am).
THanks for being here and listening to me blab on and on. :)

That's great, froggie!! It's pretty exhilerating to get a chance to stretch and find out what you're really capable of, eh?
BTW, I don't think I could ever do what you do (EMT); kudos to you, girl!!
