Eventful 24 Hour Shift
Went to bed Saturday night at 03:00 hours and got up Sunday afternoon at 12:50 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and then read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things and watch the race on TV. Tony Stewart won the race. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer and then got ready to head up to Medic 6 for my reverse 24 hour shift. Dave then came over and picked up the money from the Candy Wheel at the Halifax Carnival. I then left around 19:30 hours and headed up to Lykens. I got there and Kathy and Jim were out on the ATV accident in Millersburg, and Wertz was not there yet. I did a rig check on 6-6, the second due unit for the Lykens crew until they came back with 6-8. John then called the station and told me that Kathy was on her way back up through with 6-8 and then Wertz showed up. He went to get the second set of ALS gear out of the ALS closet and he saw that it was the bag's that no one liked that they tried out over 1-1/2 years ago and he went off. I listened to 30 minutes of swearing and him talking to Steve, John, and Tindel. I do not like the bags either. We then went down to the Eville station and talked to John and Tindel. Tindel then got a call in Millersburg and left. Jim had called John to come pick him up when me and Scott got hit for an ALS call in Upper Paxton Township. I drove down there and Wertz released to BLS and we went back to the Eville Station. When John got back, we ended up dumping both bags on the kitchen table and we helped Wertz put together a blue med bag, trauma bag and CPAP bag for him. We left for Lykens around 01:30 hours. We got up there and I backed in and then I layed down on the couch and watched TV until 03:00 hours and then I went to sleep. I got up around 07:45 hours and got my boots on and got my things together. Tommy then came in and he clocked in and then I left and headed on down to Eville to releave John. I got down there and Jason was already there. I did a rig check on 6-3 and then we all sat around and talked. Tommy and Tim came down and we were getting ready to head to breakfast, when they got a call in Klingerstown for ALS. We waited until they got back and then we headed up to Wal-Mart. On the way up there, they got hit for a pedestrian struck in Williamstown Borough. We went to Wal-Mart and I got a soft pretzel and then we headed back to the station. Once back there, we washed both the units. After Jim had washed his, he got a call in Millersburg that he took. While he was gone, the Lykens crew took a chest pains call in Wayne Township, and we ended up running 6-3 over to them since 6-5 did not have any A/C in it. We then headed back to the station. We were there for maybe an hour as I know I took a nap and then the tones dropped for a sick person in Washington Township. We decided to take 6-7 and we got up there and got the guy loaded up and headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed over to McGuries in Duncannon to drop 6-7 off to have it looked at. Jim then came down in the Squad and picked me and Jason up and then headed back up to Eville. We got back and we talked to the Lykens crew and then they headed on up. I then got on the computer to do my chart from the call and when I was done, I surfed the net. A guy then came in the building and said that he lived across the street and his wife had just cut her hand on a broken dish. The three of us went over and took a look at it, and her husband drove her up to Sunbury. We then went back over and then Jim got a call for Millersburg again. Carl and Tim them came down from Lykens since there was no medic in Eville for tonight. I clocked out and me, Carl, and Tim, talked. I left around 20:43 hours to head on home. I stopped at Jo Jo's and got a sub and then headed on home. I just finished eating dinner and am getting ready to take a shower. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
