Respatory Arrest

I went to bed Thursday night around 03:00 hours and got up at 07:10 hours Friday morning when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed. I then grabbed my suitcase and camera and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:20 hours and headed up to Lykens to go to work. I got up there and parked and as I was walking in, Bruce came walking out. Once inside I put my suitcase behind the couch and put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. I then did a quick rig check on 6-8 and then checked the supplies and ate breakfast. Me and Tim then got in 6-8 and headed on down to Eville. We stopped at Wal-Mart first so Tim could get some Pepto Bisom and I got a new controller for my PS2. We then continuned to the Eville station. Once there I got supplies together and then Boyer called me into his office to talk supplies, yet again. O'Neal, Stutzman and Wertz were all waiting for me to finish talking to Boyer so we could go to breakfast. The tones then went off for abdominal pains in Upper Paxton Township at SLV. Wertz got in 6-1 and off he went. We then headed to Special Place for breakfast. I had a side order of bacon and a side order of white toast. After we were done with breakfast, we headed back to the Eville station. Once there I put my supply order in. John then called me and asked me where I was and I said at Eville and he said he would be there in a few minutes. John then put the new license plates on the rigs. Once Boyer got back I got him to sign the new registration cards and then me and Tim headed back up to Lykens. Once there I put the supplies away and then got on the computer to start getting prices on the items on my wish list. Then around 12:50 hours Tim said about heading back up to the bulk food store so he could get some barbeque chicken that they were cooking there. So we got in 6-8 and headed to the bulk food store. We got there and he got his chicken and then we headed on back. I ran up to Tower Mini Mart and got a half gallon of Guers Orange Drink and a bag of chips to munch on through out the day and then we headed back to the station. I then grabbed my lunch box and we both ate lunch while we watched an episode of Season 4 of Emergency. After the episode was over, Tim went out to smoke and I put my lunch box in my car. We then sat down to watch another episode when we heard over the scanner about there being an armed robbery at the Mid Penn Bank in Dauphin. I sent text messages to a few people and then they started flooding back to me with texts and calling me. I told Tim to go smoke another cig as I wanted to answer everyone and I pasued the DVD. A female then called the station phone. I answered and she said that they needed and ambulance there right away. I said excuse me and she repeated herself. I then went "uh..." and she ratteled off the phone number that she was calling from and I told her she needed to call 911. I then hung up and went out into the bay and told Tim to hurry up and smoke his cig as we were probally going to get a call, and I told him someone had called in on the station phone. He thought someone he knew was playing a joke and went to go to the bathroom, when the tones went off for chest pains in Wiconisco Township. I got in 6-8 and Tim then got in and off we went. Tim knew the address as he was just there last week and took this lady down. We got there, after I took the long way there by mistake, and I grabbed the BLS bag and headed on and Tim came in behind me with his monitor and med bag. She did not look good when I walked in the bedroom. Once Tim got in there I put her on oxygen and tried to get a blood pressure on her, but couldn't get one. I then ran out and grabbed the reeves stretcher and a sheet and put them on the stretcher and then set the stretcher up outside and took the reeves inside. We got thr lady on there and then carried her out and put her on the stretcher and then loaded her into the back of the ambulance. I then went back inside and got his gear and brought it out to the unit. He then asked me to go back in and get her medications and any paperwork on her. I did that and came back out. When I opened up the side door Tim told me he needed my hands in there now, and he said this as he was pulling a BVM out of the cabinet. I got in the shut the door and took over bagging for him so he could get a line in her. He also said about tubing her, but he wanted to get a line in her first incase he needed to knock her out to tube her. He then called county and told them to tone out our BLS company to respond to the scene class 1. He had no sooner hung up the radio when his cell phone started ringing . He took it off his belt and sat it on the counter and cursed because the Eville crew was calling him. We later found out that they they we were calling them for lift assistance, instead of the fire company. So Stutzman decided to call Tim instead. Tim finally answered and said "I don't have time to talk right now" and hung up. Stutzman told us that when he got off, O'Neal and Wertz asked him what Tim had said and Stutzman made the comment that they better go now. 6-5 pulled in and pulled past us and parked and I saw Stutzman get out and come running back and he opened up the side door and looked in and then said he would get in the back. He then came around the back and got in and asked Tim if he wanted him to start compressions. Tim then said that it was not a cardiac arrest, but a respitory arrest. O'Neal then stuck his head in and asked Tim if he wanted Wertz to step up and he said yes. After O'Neal called Wertz he got in the back and him and Stutzman helped in anyway that Tim told them to. Wertz then got there and O'Neal told him it was a respitory arrest and not a cardiac arrest. Wertz helped Tim with the tubes and once we got everything in order, Wertz and O'Neal got out and Stutzman stayed in the back and I got in the driver's seat and off we went, class 1 to Harrisburg Hospital. I used the siren from Lykens to about Wal-Mart, and then in Eville again and then through Fisherville, and one more time through Halifax up to the traffic light. I then didn't use it again until I got on front street. I did some fancy wheelwork on front street, especailly since it was around the evening rush hour. We got there and got her inside and then cleaned up the back of the unit and once we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at 3B's and got a slush puppy and then we headed back to Eville. Once there we restocked. O'Neal then said that when they were watching ABC27 news at 5, the one reporter was doing a live report on Market Street in Harrisburg, and in the background they heard a siren going, and O'Neal said to Wertz that there we went. After we talked a little bit, we headed on u to Lykens. We stopped at Ciao's and I got a Ham and Cheese Sub and 4 chicken fingers and then we headed back to the station. Once there we watched two more episodes of Emergency. Around 22:20 hours, my fire pager went off for an outside fire in the 29-2 box, but the box was placed in service before anything got out, as it was a controlled burn. Tim then left around 22:40 hours and I got back on the computer and finished getting the prices for the items on my wish list. I then laid down and watched some tv until about 01:00 hours. I then was getting ready to go to sleep when the tones went off for bleeding class 1 in Lykens Township. I called Tim and asked him if that was us or not and he said yes, so I told him I would pick him up in a few. I then got the stuff back on my belt and then got my boots on and then got in 6-8 and ran up to his apartment and picked him up on the corner and I put us responding. We got there and we got the kid and the father loaded up and we headed on down to Hershey Medical Center. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at the Hess and we both got something to drink and then headed on back. We stopped at Station 21 and dropped off a backboard and set of spider straps and then stopped at the Eville station and dropped off a backboard and two sets of spider straps and Tim restocked his gear and then we headed back up to Lykens. I dropped him off and then headed back to the station. Once there I went to sleep around 05:30 hours. My cell phone woke me up at 07:30 hours and it was Boyer. He asked me if I could open up the bay door so the blood bank could get in. I did and naturally, they set up in the day room, so there went my shot at going back to sleep for another 20 minutes. I got my stuff together and took it out to my car. Zach then came in and I gave him my report, clocked out and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I got up at 11:30 hours and ate lunch and then changed into street clothes and then left to head on down to Chambers Hill to meet Pete and go through his pictures. I got down there and at 13:35 hours the pager went off for the Tanker to transfer to Station 28 as Berrysburg, Gratz, and Pillow were all on the structure fire in Northumberland County. I spent about 4 hours going through pictures and then left Pete's a little after 17:30 hours with $23.00 worth of pictures. I then stopped at Pizza Hut and ate dinner and then continued on home. I then stopped at Sheetz and got gas and then stopped at the fire house to look at the report and saw that they were already back. I then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
