Slow Day at Medic 6

I went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got my lunch and Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:34 hours and headed on up to Eville to go to work. I got there and parked and went inside and clocked in. Tracey was already there and Tindel was up. Matt was still asleep on the one couch. I did my rig check and then started going over supplies. Steve then came in and I talked to him about supplies. While I was talking to him, the tones went off for an ALS call in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. Tracey took that call. Me and Steve then went out to the med room to go over a few things. While I was out there with him, the tones went off again for a sick person in Gratz Borough. Me and Yeager took that call. We got up there and this lady had puss leaking from a year old surgical site. She really did not want to go down to the hospital, but the lady she talked to down at Hershey where she had the operation done wanted her to come in today. She thought the lady wanted her to come in to the orthopedic center. So me and Yeager told her that we can only transport to the ER. We tried to arrange a wheel chair transport van with her. While we were dicking around on the scene, the tones went off again for breathing problems in Washington Township. MICU 6-5 which was John and Tim took that call. The lady finally decided to call back down and talk to the lady again to see about coming in on Wednesday. We asked to talk to the lady and when Yeager talked to her, we found out that she was supposed to go through the ER. So we ended up taking her down to Hershey. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. We stopped at Shell in Halifax and got fuel and then stopped at Koppy's so Yeager could get something to eat for lunch. We then went back to the station. Once back at the station I ate lunch while I did my chart from the call. Steve was doing the pay roll so we did not get to ordering the supplies today. I did talk to him about Jim and last Tuesday's incident and I also asked to be put on the roation to have Tim as my perminet partner. I then went through the BLS room and made up a list and then typed it up on the computer. Tracey left around 18:30 hours as he got a call from his wife that she had a staph infection and needed to go down to the hospital. While I was typing up the list, around 17:56 hours, my fire pager went off for a call in Halifax Borough for smoke from an oven. The Engine got cancelled before they were able to respond. Then around 18:46 my fire pager went off again for another call in Halifax Borough for a furnace fire. This time the Engine got out and got in to the scene. I clocked out around 20:30 hours and headed on home. I decided to swing by the station to see if anyone was still there. I pulled in and parked and Jason Faust's truck was still there along with Jason's. I parked and got out and Troy came out of the station and went over to his truck and pulled it in front of the station to load his gear up. I talked to Jason and Jason for a little bit more and then I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and I am soon going to bed as I am tired.
