Don't drink the water

Well last night was pretty quiet, no calls. Got up this morning and ate breakfast and read the paper, then took a shower. While I was in the shower, Deb called my dad and asked him if we could cover for her and Kim for the rest of the day. Of course he said yes. About 20 minutes later, we got a call for a fall up in Millersburg. Took her down to Osteo and came back to the "barn". I did my paperwork, while my dad hosed down 13-1. Then we brought the unit home and sat down and ate lunch. Watched the Busch Series race from a track in Mexico City. We didn't get to see the end of the race as we had to get into the station for training tonight. Got to the station and statred training, when we got tapped out for a cardaic arrest. Me, Dohn, and Bill took 13-1, and my dad and Carol took 13-2. Scott met us on the scene. I had Bill hand me the AED from the back up front and when we pulled in the driveway, Dohn did not even have the unit stopped, when I jumped out and hit the ground running for the house with the AED. Of course the fire department arrived on the scene along with Ambulance 6-7 and Medic 6-2. Me and Scott started CPR and got the AED running. Did about 10 minutes of this in the house, then moved him to the ambulance. Continued to do life saving procedures to him on the was down to the hospital. On the way down, I held on to Carol to keep her from falling, and she held me tight to keep me from falling. Did all of these things to this guy and we get him down to Harrisburg Hospital and, they call it. Kind of disapointing. Got cleaned up and went back to the "barn: to restock and get times. We had just started to restock when we got hit for chest pains in Jackson Township. Took him down to Harrisburg and went back to the station to get my times. Going to be going to bed soon. Had along day today.
