The Oh Shit Call
Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed around 06:20 hours when the pager went off for breathing problems at the intersection of Powell's Valley Road and Price Road. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed to the "Barn". I got there and pulled in behind Dohn. We both got in 13-1 and off we went. We got to the scene and the guy was sitting in the back of the van. We got him in the back of the unit and that was when things went south. He started spitting up foam, so we suctioned his mouth out. He then stopped breathing and Dohn started bagging him, and then we lost pulses on the guy. So I started doing CPR. I did CPR one handed as I called Sue and asked her if she was busy. When she said that she was not, I asked her if she could go down to the hospital, cause was had a code on our hands. She said that she would meet us at the end of her road. We picked her up and she got on and we headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. It was a good learning expierence for her. I sat in the back of the unit with her on the way home so we could talk. We dropped her off at her car and then dropped the medic off at his squad. We then went back to the shed. Once there we restocked the ambulance and I logged my time in and did my paperwork. I then headed on home. Once at home I read the paper. I then ate lunch and got on the computer to do some things. I left at 18:00 hours and headed into the high school for the football game tonight. I got there and parked and took my trumpet up to the stands and then went over and got something to eat. I stopped to talk to some people when Sue and Amanda came walking over. So I walked with them and then talked to Amanda while she waited in line for some food. I then went back over with them and talked until the band was done playing. We sucked big time and lost to Millersburg. I went back over and talked some more with Sue and Amanda during half time and third quarter, I also saw house walking around. I then headed out to the shed to help Sue with the tripsheet she had to do. I got there and they were running around cause they had to go back to 5th quarter, cause Bill and Dohn took someone down to Harrisburg Hospital. So I typed Sue's tripsheet for her, and then she told me what to write for the narrative. They then got a call for and odor investigation in Halifax Township. That was just a stand by. They then went back to 5th quarter. Meanwhile, I headed on home, and once at home I took a shower and got on the computer to do some things. They then got dispatched for and assult victim at the Sheetz in Halifax Township. That was a refusal and Sue, Amanda and Kim went available. I am going to crash in bed soon as I am really tired.
