Cardiac Arrest

Hello All! just want to post this up so you don't think i have forgotten about you, my faithful followers.

It has been an interesting past month with me working mostly on my medic unit, i have run at least calls for 10 strokes that were legitimate strokes and not another issue, and have run quite a few car wrecks as well. ( I have taken a sabbatical from my law enforcement volunteering to build my resume on the fire side, i will continue to post stories of my law enforcement experiences as stories that i recall pop into my head, if you're interested in my fire stories as well let me know!)

I have been absent due to me recently assisting with a cardiac arrest of a pediatric patient, there is just something about seeing a child with so much ahead of them in life pass away that bothers me significantly. After seeing this i slowed down a little and stopped working calls for a few days in order to properly manage myself and work through it, i am no good protecting others and performing life saving treatment if i'm not squared away mentally and emotionally. I am comfortable saying now though that i am back on my game and ready to get back to doing what i do best.

Hope Y'all have had a good start to 2013, and please...do not call 911 because you got your fancy SUV stuck in less than a foot of mud...
