A Call with Sue to SLV.
Around 18:45 hours as I was getting ready to go to work, my EMS pager went off for a sick person in Jackson Township. I thought the address sounded fimilar and I looked it up and it was the address of our second assistant chief's house. I knew they have the baby so I finished getting dressed and then gave Sue a call as I knew she was on the bus and told her who it was, I told her that I was heading to the scene. I got my suit case and Gatorade bottle together and then got in my car and headed to the scene. I got there before the ambulance did and I went inside and talked with Holly. The ambulance then showed up and I told them that they were going to walk out. I then gave a quick report to the tech in the back and gave her the list of meds and past medical history that I was given and then I talked to Sue who was driving until they were ready to leave. I then got in my car and left and headed up to Eville to work. I stopped at Koppy's and grabbed something to snack on for the night and then headed down to the station. I got there and parked and went inside. Wertz, Zach, Bowser, and Enders were there and we all talked after I clocked in. Bowser then took a phone call and when he came back out he told me to come on. So I grabbed my jacket and my scope and went out to the bay and got in 6-7 and asked him where we were going. He said we were going over to Gratz to help Jim and John on a chest pains call. Come to find out that Bowser was going to get on and take over for Jim so Jim could go home. So we met them outside of Gratz and switched and then I ran Jim back up to Lykens and then headed back down to Eville. Tracey was coming in to do an open shift in Lykens and decided to just stop in Eville until Bowser got back. So once I got back I did my rig check and then I put the ALS and BLS supplies away and took an inventory on them. I then updated my list on the computer and then went out to the day room and watched TV until 6-5 got back. Once they did Bowser said about running up to Koppy's so he could get something to snack on. So we got in 6-7 and ran up there and back. Once back I got my pillow out and took up camp on the couch and watched TV while he worked on his two charts. I went to sleep around 02:00 hours and got up this morning at 07:20 hours when I heard Enders slam his car door shut outside. I got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and then put my pillow away. Wendy then came in and I gave her the two supply packing papers that I had signed so she could pay them. Stutzman then came in and then Tindell came in 2 minutes after 08:00 hours. We talked for a little bit and then I left and headed on home. Once at home I went back to bed. I got up around 12:30 hours when the pager went off for bleeding in Jackson Township. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes and then I went out to the living room and sat down and started reading the paper. Around 12:58 hours the pager went off again for a fall victim in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. About a minute later my cell phone rang and it was Sue. So I answered and she asked me if I wanted to take the call with her and I said sure. She said that she was in Millersburg and was going to start heading towards Halifax, while I would come in and get 13-2 and started heading towards Millersburg and where ever we met she would pull over and I would pick her up. So I got up and changed clothes real qucik and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got there and parked and got in 13-2 and off I went. I picked Sue up at the Post Office and we continued on up to SLV. We got there and the lady had fallen out of her wheel chair landing face first on the floor. All the signs and symptoms that that staff had given me and Sue lead us both to think of an internal head injury. I told Sue I thought we needed a medic and then I unloaded on the staff about how they should have called as soon as it happened. We got her loaded and then met Tindell in Halifax and then continued on down to Hershey. After we got what we needed at Hershey, we headed on back. We dropped Tindell off at his truck and then we ran up to Shell and got fuel and then dropped Sue off at her car and then headed back to the shed. Once there I logged my time in and restocked the unit and then helped Sue with the chart. We both left around 17:00 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and changed back into street clothes. I left around 17:32 hours and headed up to the fire house for bingo tonight. I also got a text from Bill that he was out of the hospital and at home. Bingo went good and then me and Bubba went down to the station and shot the shit. I then left aroud 23:00 hours and headed on home. While driving home Bill sent me a text and I called him and talked for about 15 minutes. I then came inside and took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
