Blood, Blood, Everywhere
Boy what a night last night. Around 22:30 hours last night I got my second call of the day, for a laceration up at the Mountain House. Boy did that guy ever bleed. There was blood everywhere. Blood on the floor in the bathroom, blood on the floor in the bar area, blood all down the front of his left pant leg, blood all on his hands, and blood soaked towels laying on the floor. And this was all from a blood blister about the size of the head of a thumb tack. Anyhow, got back home aroun 01:00 hours and went to bed around 01:30 hours, but didn't get to sleep until 02:00 hours.
Got up this morning around 11:30 and ate lunch and got in my uniform for another day at work. Boy was it a slow day today, no calls. Went back up to the mountain house around 16:00 hours to pick up the red bag we left up there last night for them to clean up the blood. Took that down to the station and came home to get cleaned up and settle in for the night. Sat down and read the Sentinal, and wanted to throw the sports section out the window. In the letters to the editor, a Halifax Township resident wrote in about how another resident attacked the supervisiors when she never attends a township meeting. In this letter the author wrote about how the township has had a deficet the past couple of years. She also wrote about how "we all want our fire company to be properlly equipped, and how the supervisiors gave them $300,000.00 last year for a new engine that cost over $500.000.00 fucking dollars and how they got over $70,000.00 in fire tax. Um, excuse me, what about us. Who comes to there house when a loved one of theirs has a heart attack, or falls down the stairs, or is having problems breathing, um not the fire department. We got $20,000.00 from the township last year. 20 fucking thousand dollars. Whoppe de doo. And then we are told that there is no room in the budget for us next year. Now I do give the township credit, they do pay for our worker's comp, but that's about it. The common mistake I see is people assume that we are associated with the fire department. Uhh read the damn sign out front people. It says Halifax Area Ambulance and Rescue Association, not Halifax Fire Department. Ugh this makes me sick and pissed. Well enough rambling for tonight I guess. Probally gonna spend the night on the interent surfing the web.
