Today is the last day of Paramedic school for the
Providence ER-Doc Paramedic Training Program.
In which I am a student.

I have finished all of the requirements and
ended the class with a Gpa of 89.6  .
Not quite the 90 % or more I was hoping for but close.

It is also an A-shift
As well as the first day back from my vacation.

I arrived back in the land of E.M.S.
refreshed and ready for work.

Surrounded by a sphere of Vacation Calm.

Ken is also on vacation so...

I was working with Brian on 93
which is a change for me but
since I haven't been near an ambulance for a week
I hardly notice...

My sphere of Calm was only disrupted twice for 2 calls.

The first was a transport of a 14 year old boy who had suffered severe burns to his right hand and arm.
To Metro Health Burn Unit.

The kid had filled a balloon with ascetylene
and popped it with a lighted match.

Not smart!
The subsequent Fire Ball engulfed his arm in flames...

Soon after that We were dispatched to a School bus Returning from Cedar Piont
Which pulled off of the highway because a student
was having an asthma attack.
She was transported to EMH and released a short time later.

Next shift Ken comes back from his vacation.

I Can't Wait,
Dawn and I both have Fish Stories to tell him...

Good Night
