Busy Night at Medic 6

I left the house last night around 18:15 hours and headed on up to Eville to work. I stopped at Koppy's and grabbed a snack for the night and then headed to the station. Once I got there I parked and went inside and clocked in and then put my stuff in the fridge. I then did my rig check and then filled the form out on the computer and checked a few things online. John then left and then Steve left also. Kuntz came in around 19:55 hours and then Jim and Enders left. Then Bowser and Audey came down so Bowser could pick up the supervisor phone. I was sitting on the couch wathing TV. They left and then I continued to watch TV and kept checking on the item I was bidding on, on Ebay. I did win the item, after a bidding war with someone else. Kuntz went back to the bunk room around 22:30 hours and then I called Bill and talked to him. After I was done talking to Bill, I laid down on the couch and popped Kelly's Hero's into the DVD player. I got to watch about 20 minutes of that when around 23:30 hours the tones went off for seizures in Halifax Township. I got my stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then went out to 6-3 and got in and waited for Kuntz to come out. Once he came out I put us responding and off we went. Sue and Kim were on the 13 bus for the night. We got down there and Scott had gone to the scene also. We went in and they were putting the guy in the Reeves stretcher and they said he was combative. We got him out into the unit and we ended up holding his arms and legs down until Kuntz could get the IV in and then we ended up using restraints on him. They then headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital and I ran up to Shell and got fuel and then went over to Sheetz to wait for them to get back. They got back and dropped Kuntz and his gear off and we talked for a few minutes and then we both left and we headed back to the station. Once there Sue called me to tell me about what it said in the comments for the call and I took a look at them also and got a kick out of what it said. I then laid back down on the couch to go to sleep and that lasted all of 20 minutes as the tones went off again to meet 20-1 at the Halifax High School for chest pains from SLV. I got my stuff back on my belt and got my boots back on and went back out and got back in 6-3 and once Kuntz got in I put us responding and off we went. We got there and 20-1 showed up about 3 minutes later. I loaded his gear onto 20-1 and they headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. I went back up to Sheetz again and parked and waited to them to get back. They dropped him off and we went available and then headed back up to the station. We got back and I laid down on the couch and I was out, this was around I would say 05:43 hours. Then around 06:20 hours the tones went off again for breathing problems in Schuylkill County, Porter Township. Normally this would be a Lykens truck call, but they were already out and Kuntz could not go on calls after 06:00 hours because of going to work. So I ended up calling down to County and told them that we were out of service, and then I laid back down on the couch and I was out like a light. I woke up around 07:59 hours and got my stuff on my belt and got my boots on and put my pillow away. I then told the on coming crew how the truck was and then I put a quick order for supplies in and then I clocked out and left and headed on home. Once at home I changed and went to bed to get some sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 04:30 hours and got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then ate dinner and read the paper. I then left and headed up to the fire house for bingo tonight. Bingo went good and Dave Warfel also showed up to help is with the Firefighter 1 applications. After bingo was over, I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to go to bed as I am tired.
