Visiting Family
Yesterday the first call we got in the morning was for a stroke, and dispatched called us up on our cell phone and said the person having the stroke was our supervisor's step dad. We went to the scene and this wasn't the normal mild stroke that has some symptoms but not all.. and leaves you guessing... this guy had it all... so we rushed him to the hospital, where our supervisor stayed with him for the rest of the day... he told us this was the second time this happened in a week. After that we got called to post and cover for another county and of course we got a call there while we were still 30 minutes away. We got to the scene and it was an eldery man just feeling bad. He wanted to go to the hospital 80 miles away instead of the one 2 miles away so we took him. It was kind of funny though... he had his paycheck in his pocket and his neighbor asked him if he wanted him to keep it for him... the old man dog cussed the guy out... apparently he's had his money stolen before... which is sad, but common. After that we got back... and had a call at the nursing home for "heart problems". When we got there of course it was shift change, and the woman was fine. We took her in the hospital... then not to long after had to take her right back to the nursing home. But something interesting happened while we were there. The 2 women who were working started flirting with us... and one grabbed both me and my partner's behinds. Full moon... huh... we promised we wouldn't file sexual harassment charges... I didn't really have a problem with it... it was funny to me. After that we came back to the station and slept until 5:45am when we got another call for breathing difficulties... we were canceled off of that before we ever left the parking lot. Last shift was a good enjoyable shift and I actually got to sleep some... I'm looking forward to more like this.
