Busy Night at Medic 6
I went to bed Saturday night around 01:30 hours and got up at 05:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got up and got dressed and then grabbed my suit case and took that out to the kicthen. I then got my breakfast together and my Gatorade bottles together and put them in my car and started my car awhile also. I then got the paper and brought that inside and sat down and read the comics quick. I left the house around 05:35 hours and headed on up to Eville to go to work. I was coming in early for John who had to work as a cop down in Millersburg on Sunday morning. I got up there and parked and went inside and put my Gatorade's in the fridge and my suitcase on the one couch. I only saw John sleeping on the one couch, but I saw the light on in the computer room. I clocked in and then went in the computer room and Beef was up and on the computer working on some paperwork. I got him to sign the observer paper and then I got on the computer to check a few things. I then put an order in for Dextrose, Glucose, and Medium Gloves. Tim then came in around 07:30 hours and John was already up, had a shower and was just leaving. Bruce then showed up around 07:50 hours and he came in and I introduced him to Beef and Tim. I then took him out and went over a rig check with him and let him check the rig. I then took him in an showed him the paper or whatever you want to call it on the computer. We then went out to the day room and sat down and watched movies until 12:00 hours. At 12:00 hours we got in 6-7 to head on down to the fire house for the Pork and Beef Dinner. I drove and we stopped at Koppy's so Pam and Bruce could get some money for the dinner. We got down there and went inside and we sat down and ate. The meal was delicaous as always. We then left there and I stopped at home real quick and picked up a DVD to watch later that night, and then we headed on back to the station. Once we got back we went back in the day room and sat down to go back to watching movies. We were sitting there and I heard 13-1 talking to county over the scanner. I asked Tim what 13 had and she said a fall victim. Well then Tim got up and went out to the bay to have a smoke. The three of us then heard 13-1 call county and ask them to dispatch a medic to meet them in Fisherville. We all got up and went out to the bay and told Tim that he was heading back to Fisherville to meet up with 13. About that time the tones went off. He got in the squad and took off. After he left I went back into the day room and put Full Metal Jacket in the DVD played to watch again. After we finished watching that, we turned on the Patriots vs Chargers football game and watched that. Tim then came back and me and Bruce helped him restock and then we went back in and sat down to watch the game. I am assuming that I fell asleep in the recliner at some point as I woke up when the tones went off for a cardiac arrest in Upper Paxton Township. Pam asked me if I was going to respond to assist and I said yes. Tim went out and got in the squad and the three of us got in 6-7 and off we went. We got about a half mile outside of Eville when Chief 20-C called a Signal 12 and placed both of us in service. So we turned around and headed on back to the station. Once back there we sat down to now watch the Packers vs Giants football game. We had nothing else for the rest of the day shift. Bruce and Pam left at 20:00 hours and then me and Tim ran up to Koppy's. I grabbed a few things in Koppy's and then ran over to Jo-Jo's and got a Ham and Cheese sub and a side order of fries to go. We then headed back to the station. Once back there I ate dinner while I watched the football game. Around 21:30 hours the tones went off for breathing problems in Millersburg Borough. We got in 6-7 and took off. We got there and went inside. Fred and Lola were already there as was Lanny and Jeff and they were getting the lady loaded onto the stretcher. So Tim went out and set up in the truck and I grabbed the rest of his gear and then helped 20 bring the stretcher down the front steps and loaded into the back of 20-2. They then headed on down to Hershey. I then headed over to the fire house to use the bathroom and then I headed into Sheetz to wait for Tim to get back. I sent Sue a text to see if she was still up and I got no answer right away. So once I got to Sheetz, I called Bill and talked to him for about 25 minutes and then Sue sent me a text back asking me yes and why, and then she called me. I told her I was sitting at Sheetz waiting for Tim to get back fomr Hershey with 20 and was going to stop at the house to talk. She said she had to stop at Sheetz and get a cup of coffee and then I could follow her over to the house. So I saw her come in and then we she letf, I just followed her over to the house. Once there, I parked out in the street and left the unit running and then went inside and we sat in the kitchen and talked. We were sitting at her table talking and I had the portable radio in with me and I heard Tim come on the air and ask county to get ahold of me to have me call the medic cell phone. So I pulled the EMT phone out and called him and asked him what was up. He told me to start heading towards Hershey as 20-2 had a flat tire. He said that Fred saw the left outside dual flat when they came out of Hershey. For some reason that is unknown, Fred decided to try and drive back with the flat tire. Well when they got on 322 and started driving, the tire blew, which then took out the inside tire of the dual's. So they were now sitting between the Hershey and Hummelstown exits waiting for a tow truck. So I said ok that I would start heading down that way. I told Sue what happened and we said our goodbyes and then I got in the bus and headed on down to Hershey. While I had been sitting at Sheetz, 6-5 got dispatched for abdominal pains in Lykens Borough and they were now on their way down to Harrisburg Hospital. I got behind 6-8 on Peter's Mountain and then passed them once we got on the highway. I got down to Hershey and turned around and started heading back towards Harrisburg and found them and pulled in behind them. I then helped Tim load his gear into the truck and then we left and headed on back. We stopped at the Hess station so Tim could get a cup of coffee and then we headed on back to the station. As I passed the new Harmon Stove Warehouse, the fire pager went off for a reported structure fire on Scholl Road in Halifax Township. Naturally I was not happy as I was once again missing another fire call due to me being at work. Once back I went in and sat down on the couch as it was now 01:20 hours. I turned the TV on and ate my snack for the night while I watched TV and listened to the fire pager to hear what was going on. I laid down and went to sleep around 02:00 hours. The tones then went off around 05:10 hours for an unconscious person in Upper Paxton Township. I got up and got my boots on and then got the stuff back on my belt and then went out and got in 6-7 and off we went. We got there before 20-1 and went inside and it ended up being a diabetic problem instead. We all figured Tim would get some Dextrose in her and she would refuse to go down to the hospital. While when she started coming around her husband said she was not coming around like she normally does. So she ended up going to the hospital. No the driveway to this place still had a decent amount of snow on it and some of it had turned to ice by now. So I had gone outside as I was getting hot in the house. Lola came out and said that they needed the strether. I told her that I would get it and I started towards the back of their rig. Right at the back I started to slide on the ice and I grabbed the side hand rail and just flung myself around to the back doors. I got the stretcher out and shut the back doors. Then I started the task of trying to get the stretcher up the driveway without falling on my ass. I took small steps and pulled on the stretcher. When I got to the back of our unit, I ran into a problem as I was starting to slide back down the driveway with the stretcher. Fred then showed up and grabbed my arm and helped pull me up. He then went to the unit and got the Reeves and took it inside. We put her on the Reeves and carried her outside and put her on the stretcher. We then started to take her back down to 20's unit. Tim was at the head and Lanny was at the feet and I was on the left side of the stretcher. When we got to the back of their unit again, I put my right hand on the hand rail on the side of their unit and had my left hand on the stretcher. Well my feet went out from underneath me and my right hand shot up and grabbed the hand rail and I was at a 75 degree angle. I eventually got my feet back under me and we continued to move the stretcher to the back of the unit. We got it hooked in and then I felr Fred put his arm around me to keep me from falling as I helped them get the stretcher into the back of the unit. They then headed to Harrisburg Hospital and I left and headed out to the fire house to get some notes off of the incident report. I then left and headed into Sheetz to wait for them to get back. They finally got back around 08:20 hours. I helped Tim load his stuff into the unit and then we headed back to the station. Once back at the station I helped him restock and then I gave Wendy the shipping papers from the stuff that came in Friday after she had left. I then talked to Steve for a little bit and then Kathy told me we were getting low on Adult Nasal Canulla's. So I put a quick order in before I clocked out and then left and headed on home. Once at home I talked to the parents for a little bit and then I changed and went back to bed to get some sleep. I woke up this afternoon at 16:45 hours when my mother came in and told me that dinner was ready, I got up and changed into street clothes and then read the paper while I ate dinner. I then left the house at 18:00 hours and headed up to the fire house for the meeting tonight. The meeting was longer then usual and we were done close to 20:30 hours. We then went down to the fire house and shot the shit and then I left around 22:30 hours and headed on home. I was talking to my mother about a few things with the hall and then my father came out and we started talking. He then made a comment about the meetings and that he was going to say something at the next meeting he goes to and I told him that he should not as it was going to piss people off. He then raised his voice as I had interupted him. I calmly asked him not to yell and he started yelling louder. I asked him again and even my mother asked him to stop yelling, which just made him yell louder. I then got up and said I was not going to talk to him if he was going to yell and walked out to the kitchen. This just pissed him off even more and I heard him throw his water bottle. I then came back in the living room and said I was not going to talk to him and went back to my room and he went out to the kitchen. I then stuck my head out my door and made the comment that he shouldn't bother with coming to the building meeting Thursday nigth. He got pissed as he thought I was telling him what to do and he came stomping into the living room screaming at me. I walked out and told him to stop screaming and then all hell broke lose. I started yelling back at him and told him I was tired of his shit. He told me to get out of his face and then he started yelling about me living under his roof and by his rules and if I did not like them to get out of the house. I again told him that I was tired of his shit and that I wanted to talk now and he kept telling me to shut up. This pissed me off and I shoved him back a few feet. He then went out to the kitchen and grabbed the phone and I went after him and tired to grab the phone. Things just got worse from that point on with more screaming and grabbing each other. I finally got the phone from him and gave it to my mother and he pushed past me and went back to his bedroom and my mother went in to talk to him while I went into my room. My mother then came over and talked to me some. We both had calmed down by this piont and my father went to bed and I took a shower. I am now soon going to bed as I am tired.
