riding the ambulance

today, i rode an ambulance for the very first time. i was assigned to "ride-along" with medic 5.

here's how i rolled today:



it was an interesting day! we transported patients with abdominal pain, seizures, bee sting allergy, chest pain, gunshot wounds and heat stroke amongst others. for the latter, the paramedic and emt I was working with even made it to the 6 o' clock news. here's the only video i can find in the news websites. i'm the one in the blue scrubs. you'll see me starting to walk down the steps at around 2:50. we went up the roof to "rescue" our patient.
