I'm really sorry I haven't written anything in a while, guys. Thank you for the comments. =)
Today I went on my first ambulance call ever! It was amazing. The accident took place just down the street from the fire-house. An old lady (she was 92) ad fallen down the last step at the Prancing Pony restaurant. She had pain in her left shoulder and a mild laceration on her face. We put her on a backboard, loaded her onto the ambulance, and brought her to the hospital. A paramedic met us in another town and came aboard, too.
It was amazing. I didn't do anything at all other than hold stuff, because this was my first time. But I got to watch them do everything, like attain the medical history and fill out papers, and all that. So I think I can be a little more helpful next time.
The lady was fine. Completely coherent, she chatted the whole time to the hospital as if she was talking with some friends over a cup of tea. I did good, too. xD I got an adrenaline rush when my pager went off, but that only lasted a minute or so. Mostly I just hung back so as not to get in the way and watched everything.
And then I walked the two-some miles home from the ambulance. Or more like skipped, I was so happy. And it feels good to be happy.
And now I'm gonna eat something, 'cause I didn't have much of anything all day, and I got to get ready to go to youth group tonight. I'll try to blog more often. Thanks everyone for the comments. ^_^
