I have always said that being a paramedic shows me rather frequently that my life isn't so bad and there are others with crazier problems than my family. I have been in EMS for 8 years. You learn to take the good with the bad and most days are not as stressful as you might think.
Today was a different story. It is 11:00 p.m. and I am sitting down at MY computer in MY house for the first time in 40 hours. I had a couple of naps yesterday at work totaling about 6 hours all together. I am still on call and about to go back in for a transfer to another county. And OH YEAH, I am back on duty at 7:00 a.m. for another 24-hr shift. I live & work in a small town and we aren't always this busy, but today has gone on FOREVER!
I am saddened by a couple of the calls we had today that just didn't seem to go right and didn't end the way we wanted. And another one just now involving a teenage girl who was sexually assaulted. It hasn't been the best day of my EMS career. We've had worse and we've had better. I pray tomorrow is a better one.
