A Crazy Shift at Medic 6

I went to bed Tuesday night around 02:30 hours and got up at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got my suitcase, lunch, and Gatorade bottles together. I then put the stuff in my car and left around 07:27 hours and headed up to Lykens to work. I got there and parked and Tim was walking down the sidewalk when I got there. I clocked in and put my lunch and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. Tindel and Audrey were on last night and I got the report from Audrey and then she left. Then me and Tim talked to Tindel until he left. I then did my rig check and Tim did his checks and then I did the forum on the computer. I then asked Tim if we were eventually going down to Eville because I had to pick up some supplies to take up to Lykens. We left around 09:00 hours and headed on down to Eville after I ate breakfast. We got down there and I parked out back and we went inside. I talked to Steve and asked him if the supplies that he ordered had come in and he said yes and that Enders had put some of it away yesterday and then another delivery of supplies came. He then got them from the front office and we took them out to the med room and I put them away and then I got the supplies to take back up to Lykens and took them and sat them on the table in the day room. The tones then went off for an accident with injuries in Halifax Township in front of Denny's Lennies. Jim and Steve got in the squad and went down to that. I then did inventory of the BLS Room and the Med Room since I had added supplies and updated my list on the computer. I was sitting at the computer when I heard Scott Paul come on Med 9 and tell county he wanted 2 more transporting units. I went out to the day room and told Yeager, Kathy, and Enders that they were going to be heading down to Halifax. Yeager asked me why and I told him that I heard Scott tell county he wanted 2 more transporting units. About that time the tones went off and they got in 6-3 and off they went. I then finished updating stuff on the computer. Leah then showed up and was going over her email and looking at the schedule on the other computer and talking to Tim. So I went out into the day room and sat down on the couch and then the tones went off with no voice, so I knew it was a Northumberland County call. I went over to the scanner and turned it up so I could hear what it was for. It was for an accident in Dalmatia and apparently 62 was already out doing a transport. Me and Tim got in 6-8 and off we went. We got up there and checked the two guys out and they both refused. SO we left there and headed on back. Once back at the station we decided to wait until Steve and Jim got back before we would go eat lunch. Well they got back and Jim had to stop at Sheetz and Strickly Chicken and get something to eat. So then we decided to wait until 6-3 got back and then we would go eat. Well Kathy called Steve on his cell phone and I heard him tell them that we were waiting for them to get back before we would eat lunch. I then heard him say, of they won't be happy, Here they had stopped at Giant and got something to eat. So then me and Tim decided to leave and got get lunch ourselves. We decided to go to Ashley's Pizza. I got a ham and cheese sub and while I was waiting for it to come out, Sue sent me a text message that Bill had taken baby steps around his bed last night and that they did not have to tube him. Needless to say I was so happy at this news. So I started calling the people that I needed to update and then I ate lunch. I then called Steve to tell him and as I was hanging up with him, Enders fire pager went off. So me and Tim were done by this time and went out to 6-8 and I got in to hear what 21 had while Tim had a smoke. We then started to head over to Wal-Mart when the tones went off for a fire reported out at the Keepler Home, and Chief 21 wanted two EMS units. They had dispatched for us and a unit from 20. Yeager got on and told county to send 6-5 and keep 20 in service. So I put us responding and we headed down to the scene. We were there for I would say close to an hour until command released us from the scene. So we left and headed back up to Wal-Mart. I had just parked the rig when the tones went off again for an accident in Schuylkill County in Klingerstown's response district. County said they wanted an ambulance from Company 6. We then herad Northumberland dispatching while Tim talked to Yeager and we never heard Northumberland say Dauphin Company 6 for ALS. So Tim called county and asked if they wanted and ambulance or a medic only and they called back to Northumberland to check and came back and told us ALS only. We told them we were responding and headed up to the scene. Stutzman had called Yeager and gave him directions to relay to us, which Yeager did. I headed towards Gratz and I asked Tim if I was to turn like I was heading to Klingerstown and he said no, Yeager told him to go through Gratz and then turn on Route 125 once we got into Heigins. Well we got all the way up to Heigin's and turned on to 125. Meanwhile Northumberland comes back and tols us that Ambulance 62 was on the scene and was asking for the chopper due to chest and pelvic trauma. So now I picked up the speed a little to try and get to the scene. We had just gotten to the base of the mountain on the other side when county called and said that Schuylkill had called back and said that we missed the turn. So we turned around and then Yeager called and tried giving us directions again and I pulled over. We got the directions and went back over the mountain and back into Heigin's. We then heard Jim and Steve go responding to assist and they went up through Klingerstown. Meanwhile Tim had gotten more directions from Yeager to turn onto Mountain Road once we were in Sacramento. We got into Sacramento and I saw a Monhotango Road and I asked Tim if Yeager met that and he said that he did not know. So we went past it and then I decided to turn around while Tim tried to get ahold of Yeager. I turned on there and we got to the base of another mountain and there was Sacramento's engine sitting so I knew we were in the right place. So they moved the cones and we asked them where the LZ was and they said on the other side of the mountain. We finally got there, but it was one minute after 6-1 got there and the chopper was already there and the flight medics had Pt. care, so we were placed in service. We talked to the crew from 62, mainly so the brakes on 6-8 could cool down and then we left and headed back down to the Eville station. We talked to Yeager and Steve for a little bit and then left and headed back up to Wal-Mart. I got a bottle of windshield washer fluid and then we went back up to Lykens. I put the washer fluid in my car and then put the ALS supplies in the restock cabinet in the day room and then updated the list. I then put in an order of supplies and then laid down on the couch to watch TV. Them around 22:30 hours, my cell phone rang and it was not a number that I recongnized. I answered and a female voice asked if Jesse was there and I said this is him and she said that William Bailey asked me to call you and to hold on one minute. She then put me on hold and patched me into his room. It was such a relief to hear his voice. We talked for close to 20 minutes. He told me that they finally took him off of the Bi-Pap and had him on a regular NRB now and that his Pulse Ox was 90% to 92%. He also told me that they were probally going to move him out of the ICU tomorrow and into a regular room. After I hung up with him I called Bubba and told him and then sent a text message out to everyone that asked to be updated. I then went to sleep around 01:30 hours and woke up at 07:42 hours when the tones went off for a fall victim in Upper Paxton Township. Wertz took the squad on that and I got up and got my stuff back on my belt and put my pillow away. I then grabbed my jacket and scope out of 6-8 and brought them into the day room. John then came in and I gave him the report and then Tim woke up and we talked for about 20 minutes and then I clocked out and then we both left. I headed on down to Eville and once there went inside and logged my time in and then talked to Steve, Tracey, Zach, and Tommy. I then left around 09:00 hours and headed on home. Once at home I talked to mom and then I went back to bed to get some sleep. I woke up this afternoon when Bill sent me a text message around 15:50 hours. I got up and then he called me and we talked for about 20 minutes and then I left him go. Bubba then called me and I talked to him for a little bit. I then read the paper and ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I am now soon getting ready to head into town to get my hair cut and then when I get home I am going to take a shower and then I am going to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late then so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
