-> -> So have you started to work on the ambulance..and what kind of runs
-> -> have you been able to go on ??
-> Just the student runs.  Nothing too exiting so far.  I got to help
`em
-> patch up a guy on one of my ER rotations that had cut his forearm pretty
-> badly.  Most of my ambulance runs were falls and OD's and transports
-> between hospitals.  No codes or MVAs.
-> It was kinda strange, I'd go in to ride with the service and they'd
say
-> "Man, you shoulda been here yesterday!  We had 14 runs in 12 hours and 4
-> of them were MVA aand two others were codes."  Then we'd do paper work
-> and clean the station and wash the ambulance and watch TV for the next
-> 18 hours.  Then I'd go home and on the way home the tones would start
-> dropping and I'd sit there listening to them work the calls.
-> I finally did manage to get all my required runs in, though.
-> Later,
-> Mark
