Saturday Day Drunks

Well around 18:30 hours the pager went off for an accident with injuries in Halifax Township, with a motorcycle versus a car. Me and my father got in 13-1 and off we went. We got on the scene at the same time as Engine 29-1. The guy on the motorcycle was complaining of pain in his head. He did not have a helmet on. Medic 6 showed up and then we took him down to Hershey Hospital where for the second day in a row, we took him into one of the trauma rooms with the trauma team. After we got what we needed down there we headed on home. The medic was picked up at our station and me and my father restocked and logged our times in. After that we headed on home. We got home around 21:00 hours and I got a snack and finished up a few things on the computer. I went to bed around 02:00 hours and about 20 minutes later was rocked out of bed when the pager went off for chest pains in Wayne Township. Both me and my father got out of bed and got changed and got in 13-1 and off we went. We got there, followed by Medic 6 and then we took her on down to Osteo Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We dropped the meidc off at Sheetz and then stopped and got disiel and then headed back to the "Barn".

I got up there and spent the whole morning up there helping out with that. Around 11:15 hours the pager went off for an accident with injuriers in Reed Township at the Clarks Ferry Bridge. Dohn and Carol went responding. For the third day in a row now we have taken someone to Hershey and into the trauma room with the trauma team. I left the fire house around 12:30 hours and headed on home. Once home I ate mu chicken, then took a shower and headed into town. I went to Giant and picked up a gallon of milk and then headed back to the shed to do my paperwork from my two calls. Dohn and Carol showed up soon after I got there and we talked for a little bit and then they headed home. Bill then showed up and he helped me clean up the backboard from the motorcycle guy. We had to use the pressure washer on the two straps to clean the blood off of them. After that I hung the two straps up outside to dry off and ran a backboard up to Millersburg Ambulance. On my way back through, I stopped and checked on the straps. They were dry so I took them back to the office and then I picked up my milk and headed on home. I am getting ready to eat dinner soon, and then I am going into the "Barn" to help Sue with her tripsheet from Friday night's accident.

A 39 year old female had lost control of her car, left the roadway, sheared off a utility pole and then rolled her car one to two times, landing on it's roof on the railroad tracks. Perry Medic 81 showed up at the same time that we did. We helped the fire department get her onto a backboard and then loaded her in the unit and headed on down to Hershey Hospital. We got down there and took her into the trauma room and handed her off to them. While we were down there we picked up a backboard belonging to the fire department. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We dropped the medic off at the Clarks Ferry bridge and then headed to the fire station.

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 08:00 hours when the pager went off for a seizure in Millersburg Borough. I got out of bed and gor dressed, did the five minute dance, took my morning medication, then got in my car and headed to Dohn's house. I met Dohn there adn we got in 13-1 and off we went. We got up there and took the little guy down to Holy Spirit Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We stopped at Sheetz on the way home and I picked up lunch. After that we started out towards Dohn's house so I could pick up my car. Well needless to say, we did not get that far. Actually we ended up going past it. As we came upon Kiners, the pager went off for breathing problems in Jackson Township. The address was on the road that runs behind the firehouse. We went responding and got on the scene. We loaded her up and met Perry Medic 81 at the church in Fisherville. After he got on board, we headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home again. I ate my now warm lunch on the way home. We dropped the medic off and then we went to Dohn's house. I picked up my car and headed on into the "Barn" to do my paper work from yesterdays call and this mornings two calls. When I got in there Bill was there and had just finished getting my times for me. He did his tripsheet from yesterday, then I got on and did my three tripsheets. After I was done there, I went up to Giant and picked up a few things, then stopped at Dohn's house and placed supplies in 13-1, and then headed on home. Once at home I sat down and read the paper. I had just finished reading the paper and layed back in the chair, when the pager went off for an assult person in Upper Paxton Township. I got up and got in my car and headed to Dohn' house. I met Dohn and Bill there and we went responding. We got about 3 minutes from Dohn's house when PSP placed us in service. So we turned around and headed back to Dohn's house. I then headed back home. Once at home I got on the PS2, but that was short lived ,as around 15:48 horus the pager went off for the same assult person in Upper Paxton Township at the Family Dollar. I got back in my car and headed to Dohn's house again. I got there and Bill pulled in behind me. We both got in 13-1 and we went responding again. We got there and this 25 year old girl was assulted by her manager's ex-girlfriend, who thought that the patient was trying to hook up with the manager. She wanted to go down to Hershey Hospital and get checked out since she was punched a few times in the head, and she has had problems with her head since she had her car accident in 2002. She also was considerend about her stomach as she was kicked in it a few times, and there was a possibility that she night have been 4 week pregant. We loaded her up and then the patients damn cute sister got in the back of the uint and sat down beside me. Boy was she ever good looking. So was the patient, but she had a kid and possiblly another one on the way. Me and the patients sister talked some on the way down to the hospital. When we got down to the hospital after we took the patient into the room and helped her over to the bed, and I saw a flash of panties, her sister pulled me aside and asked me to show her where the bathroom was. I galdly said yes and proceeded to show her how to get out of the emergency room to the outside so she could smoke a cig when she got a chance, then I showed her where the bathroom was. I then went into the bathroom and came out and got a soda just as the sister came out of the bathroom. I asked her if she knew how to get back to the room, and she said that I had better walk back with her just in case she got lost. So while I took her back I took the oppournity to make some small talk with her. She was a very nice girl, works at the Bon-Ton in Colonial Park and lives in Gratz. Once we got bacj to the room I asked her if she knew how to get outside and she said yeah, and that if she forgot, she would ask someone. I told her ok and that I hoped that her sister got better and that everything was fine with her sisters baby. I then went and helped Dohn remake the stretcher up and then went and grabbed our backboard and CID'S. I took them outside and Dohn yelled for me to bring him a wheel chair. I did this and here there was a man sitting on the bench outside the ER that was having some slight chest pains. Dohn helped him into the wheel chair and then took him into the ER. I asked Dohn to give me the keys. Hershey Ambulance 4-8 was sitting in front of the ER and there engine would not turn over. So I pulled the ambulance along side of thiers and got the jumper cables out and we hooked them up and gave them a jump. They thanked us many times and then left. We then headed on home. Dohn took us out to his house where I picked up my car and headed into the shed to log my times in for the day. Bill was there, I logged my times in, and then went up to McDonald's and picked up dinner and headed on home. Once home I sat down and ate dinner while watching "Traumam Life in the ER". I then took a nice cool shower. Getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. Will be on late tonight so give a buzz if you want to talk.

I got up and got dressed and got in my car and headed for the scene, since Dohn and Carol, were not back yet, Deb had the grandkids, and neither Bill nor myself can drive the uint. Sue offered to help at the scene, but I told her that we had no one that could drive to bring the unit out to the scene. I got there and got vitals on the guy when Bill showed up, followed by Medic 6. Medic 6 handeled the call. I took the squad back to Sheetz and parked it and then Bill took me back out to the house so I could pick up my car.

While they were down there, the pager went off again for a laceration in Halifax Township. I got dressed as I was originally going to head to the scene, but as I was getting dressed, Scott called my cell phone and asked me if I was going and I said yes. He told me that he would meet me in at the station. SO I finished getting dressed and got in my car nad headed on into the station. I got there and Scott was on his new motorcycle. My father had already left for Williamstown for judging duty for their parade tonight. Me and Scott got in 13-2 and off we went. We got there and the kid had stuck his arm through a window. He told us that he was locked out and trying to get back in by pushing on his sister's window, and his had went through it.

Silo fall down and go BOOM!

Around 22:30 hours last night my dad told me to get dressed and because we had to go over to Wayne Township on Back Road, because there was a silo in danger of collapsing. I put my away message up and off we went (Sorry Sue). We got over there, and sure as shit if that silo was not leaning. There was really nothing we could do for it except let nature take its course. Me and my father then came home around 23:30 hours. My father went straught to bed and I watched "Will & Grace". I went back to my room at 24:00 hours and got back on the internet. Around 00:07 hours the pager went off for an accident with entrapment on McClellan Road. Me and my father quickly got dressed and got in 13-1 and off we went. We ended up beating Engine 29-1 to the scene by a few seconds. When we got there, the kid was pinned under the left rear tire, which was resting on his left leg. I told my dad to have county put the chopper in the air, and then went back to taking care of the kid. I ma pretty sure that Amanda knows the kid, (I will not mention his name on this blog, to protect his idenity). It took us, Medic 6 and the fire deaprtment about 30 minutes to get him out from under the car and loaded into the back of the ambulance with the fligt crew. We proceeded to the landing zone and transferred him over to the chopper and he took off. After that we went back to the scene to check that we got all the equipment and get some pictures. After that Alfe invited us back to the fire house for a debreifeing, which was a nice thing and should be done after every major accident such as this. While we were there, we cleaned up the back of the unit and then headed back to the station to restock in log our times. After we were done at the station we headed on home. Once home we found out that the power had flicked off for a second and then come back on. I finished up a few things and then went straight to bed.

Amanda Nornhold, College Bound!

I would like to start off tonights blog with a tribute to a very special friend of mine, Amanda Nornhold. Friend, Sis, Caring, Friendly, Devoted, Determined, Successful, Nice, and Funny are all words that come to my mind about Amanda. I have only known you for almost one year know, but it seems like a life time. I still remember the first time I met you. I believe if my memory serves me right, it was in November on a Saturday and your EMT class was at out station for a CPR class. I remember I was sitting at a table out in the bay looking at my Brady EMT book and you came out and saw all the cool pictures in it. Since that time I have watched you grow into a truely fine young women. You have been through quite a few things this past year. Some rough times with Andy, the death of one of your friends, Brandy West (God Bless her Soul), and all the troubles with a certain teacher. Yet, I have also watched you go through some happy times. The Semi- Formal, the Prom, Graduration, passing your HACC final practical, HACC final written, and State practical. Now as you wait for your results from your State written test, to see if you have joined a special group of people called EMT'S. You and your family have been so extremly kind to me since I first met your mother in the summer of 2004. You have opened your arms up to me and pulled me in as if I were one of your own. You treated me with respect and showered me with kindness, and I am so glad to be a part of it, because great frineds as yourselves are hard to come by in today's world. Now the stage has been set for you. You have college to go through and then Graduration from college. Your brother Steve, has a new child and now a new home, and your mother has some peace and quiet (sorry had to throw that in there). As we continue to get older as the years go by, I hope that you and your family stay in close contact with me as I don not want to lose touch with you guys. I finish this tribute with only one regret on my part. That regret is that I wish I had met you guys earlier in my life. Good luck, God Bless, and I would like to take the title of my class song and apply it to you, that good old Green Day song, "Good Ridence (Time of your Life).


Now moving on to my day. I went to bed last night around 02:40 hours and got up this morning around 10:45 hours. I read the paper and watched some tv. Around 12:00 hours the pager went off for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township. I was off today so I did not go on the call.

Happy 4th of July

Went to bed Friday night around 02:20 hours and was rocked out of bed early in the morning for an allergice reaction in Wayne Township. Me and my father got out of bed and got dressed and got in 13-1 and off we went. We picked up Bill in the square of Fisherville and then continued onto the scene. Once on the scene we loaded the guy up and met the medic at the end of the long driveway. Abby and Scott were the medics on the MICU and Abby went down with us. It has been along time since I have seen Abby with Medic 6. I usually see her in the Er at Harrisburg Hospital. We took this guy down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We dropped Abby of at Sheetz and then headed back to the "Barn". We logged our times in and did a few other things, and then ran Bill back out to his truck, and then went home. Once home I ate breakfast and read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played until around 17:00 hours when I got off to go back into the shed. My father took the unit back into the shed and I followed him in my car. Carol then showed up and they transmitted for the month. Then around 18:00 hours, I went up to Sheetz and got gas and then went to Giant and picked up milk, iced tea, and salad, then headed on home. Once home, I took a shower and then ate dinner while I sat down to watch the race. It was raining down at Dayotna, so the race was delayed 2 1/2 hours and did not get started until 22:30 hours. The race lasted to 02:00 hours and Tony Stewart won the race. After the race was over, I went to bed and fell asleep right away.

I woke up this morning around 10:30 hours when my mother came in my room and woke me up. I got up and ate a light breakfast and read the paper. Around 12:00 hours I got dressed and put on the t-shirt that Amanda got me and helped my mother load her car up. We then headed on down to my grandparents house for a cook out and to celebrate my grandmothers birthday. My father came down in his truck because he had to leave early to come home since he is on call tonight. My brother grilled up hot dogs, hamburgers and hot sausages for us to eat, and my mother made some side food. After we were done eating we watched the video that my brother took during our vacation and then my grandmother opened up her gifts. After that, me, my mother, brother, and grandmother all played Upwords. We only paused to eat the ice cream cake and talk. My father left around 17:10 hours and we left around 19:20 hours to head on home. Once home, I unloaded the car and then got on the computer and started working on one of my articles for next tears convention book.

Third time is a charm

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 09:30 hours when my mother yelled for my father to pick up the phone. My father had off from work today to make a long weekend. Here it was Dauphin County on the phone for my father. Here a tractor trailer had flipped over on the Clarks Ferry bridge and had leaked about 150 gallons of diesel fule on the roadway. Sicne my father is the EMA for Reed Township, he got changed and rushed on down to the scene. I got changed and ate breakfast and watched a little tv. After I was done eating I started to read the paper. My mother went outside to put the car windows down. While she was outside the pager went off for a structure fire in Millersburg Borough. I got my boots on and got in my car and off I went for the station. I called Bill on the radio and told him that when he got at the station to start loading rehab supplies into 13-1. I had just turned into the station when they cancelled us. Apparently it was a false alarm and it was only smoke from a circuit breaker. Dohn showed up and we talked for a little bit while Bill started his tripsheet from last nights call. I then left and headed on home. Once home I sat down and had finished reading the front section of the paper when the pager went off again for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township. Medic 6 got on the scene before us and told us that they would handle. So we went available and back to the station we went. I stayed a bit longer this time as I was afraid to go home incase the pager would go off again. I left there around 12:00 hours and headed on home. This time I got to finish reading the paper. After I was done with that I made lunch and got on the PS2. Around 15:50 hours the pager went off for a CVA in Jackson Township. I paused my game and got in my car and headed for Carol's hosue. I met Bill there and we got in 13-1 and off we went. We passed my father in Fisherville as he was coming back from the garage. We got on the scene and Medic 6 released the Pt. to BLS and we took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there we headed on home. We stopped at the "Barn" as my father was there. I fixed two tripsheets and then talked with Bill for a little bit. Carol then took her van home and Bill did his tripsheet while my father and I ran up to Dollar General to look for a card that my mother wanted. We did not find it there, so we then went up to Sheetz and got dinner for ourselves. We then went back to the shed and picked Bill up and headed for Dohn's house to pick up our cars. I followed my father home in my car and parked it and headed inside to eat dinner. Getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. Will be on late tonight so give a buzz if you want to talk.

Went to bed Tuesday night around 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bead around 09:30 hours for chest pains in Millersburg Borough. I got dressed and got in my car and headed for the station. I met up with Dohn and Bill there. I got in the back of 13-1 and off we went. We got up there and Medic 6 released the lady to us since they were not needed. We took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We stopped at the "Barn" and I logged my times in and then headed on home. Once home I sat down and started to read the paper. I was almost done with the comics when the pager went off for a sick person in Halifax Township. I got back in my car and headed over to Dohn's house. Once there I met up with Dohn and Bill and off we went in 13-1. We got there and once again cancelled the medic. We took her down to Osteo Hospital. After we got what we needed down there we once again headed on home. Dohn stopped at McDonald's on Front Street so I could get something to eat for lunch. Boy will I never stop there again. First they only had one guy manning the register and there were eight people in line counting me. Second, they were all out of soda. HOW can you be all out of soda!?! So I finally got my meal and we headed back to the "Barn". I logged in my times and then Dohn ran us out to his house to pick up our cars. I came home and finished reading the paper. I watched the news and then "That 70's Show", then "Trauma, Life in the ER" and then "That 70's Show" again. Around 20:30 hours I came back and got on the computer to check my email, surf the net and work on an article. I did not get that far however. The pager went off for breathing problems in Reed Township. My dad and me got in 13-1 and off we went. We got there and twe loaded the guy up and Medic 6 showed up and off we went for Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there we headed on home. It started to rain as we were going around the mountain. After we dropped the medic off we started for the station. While we were still around the mountain the rain really picked up. I mean it was absoutley pouring down raining. Then as we came upon Aumiller's the pager went off for bleeding in Halifax Borough. We went responding right away. Medic 6 got on the scene since he was right in front of us. We ended up placing the medic in service again. This was the guy that my dad and Carol ahd taken down Tuesday night for the same reason. Like 3 minutes after the call came in, Susie called my cell phone and told me that the Borough was without power. We advised county of this. We took the guy back down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. My father told me that he had called my mother and that our power was out as well. So I called Sue on her cell phone and told her that her power may be out when she gets home. We talked for a little bit and then she had to go. The whole way home it kept raining and lighting. It was so weird. When you went by Long's Flower Shop, they had power, but the school right next to them was out of power. We stopped at the station and all the emergency lights were on. We logged our times in and then headed on home. We got home around 00:30 hours and the power was still out. I grabbed my pager and a flashlight and laid down on the chair in the living room as it cooler out there, then it was in my room. I guess after about maybe 40 minutes on the chair I could not lay on my back any longer, so I grabbed a pillow and laid down on the floor. At 01:50 hours the power came back on, along with the good old air and it really cooled the place down. I then went back to my bedroom and went to bed around 02:10 hours.

I got up around 10:00 hours this morning, got changed, then at breakfast, read the paper and watched tv. I left the house around 11:00 hours and headed into town. I went to Rite Aid and picked up a Phone Card and then went back to the "Barn" to do my tripsheet from last nights two calls. Bill was there and getting ready to start his two tripsheets from yesterday. While he did that I did some work on the other computer. Around 12:00 hours the pager went off for breathing problems in Millersburg Borough. I pulled the unit out and Bill got in the back and then Dohn showed up and off we went. We got up there and Medic 6 released the Pt. to BLS. We took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed we headed on home. We stopped at the "Barn" and I logged my time in and Bill finished his one tripsheet. I ran up to Giant and picked up some peanut butter and orange juice for my mother and then picked up lunch at McDonalds for myself. Then I headed back to the station and got on and did my two tripsheets. After that I grabbed my food from the fridge in the kitchen and me and Bill headed on out. Bill was coming up on Kiners when the pager went off to assist PSP with an accident in Halifax Township. We both pulled into Dohn's house and off we went. We got as far as the beer place when the fire company placed us in service. We went up to Shell and got deisel and then went back out to Dohn's house to pick up our cars. I headed on home and got changed and took a shower. I then watched the news and "Trauma, Life in the ER" and then "That 70's Show". Eating popcorn right now and getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. Will be on late tonight so give a buzz if you want to talk.
