An over night in the metro boston area in EMS..

Well last night I worked an overnight, and well it was an exciting one to say the least. The night started off easy. A Pt that happened to have a drug addiction fresh out of detox, well decided to go out and buy some more. His girlfriend's dealer was not a fan of this man, and "sucker" punched him and broke his jaw. While at the trauma center, we noticed that it was crazy night there so we dumped the pt off and left before we became some of the action.

After that I had a little bit of down time.. Some interesting calls took place while in the city, a Car into a house (pt wasn't doing so hot), some drunks.. BUT WHATS NEW RIGHT??? So over the next few hours, I did a few more calls...But while back at the trauma center mentioned above, a Section (crazy person that is under protection of a hospital) decided that they no longer wanted to be a guest and walked right out the ambulance bay doors. A few seconds later, the nurse comes out screaming for someone to go get her back....and OUT THE DOORS I WENT..I gave security a little heads up and preceded to chase this insane lady down the road. I caught up to her and security wasn't too far behind.. She was not impressed and fought the ENTIRE WAY BACK to the hospital where security preceded to 4-point her screaming self to the stretcher...

Now we all know new england weather and the storms we have been having, WELL as I am walking out the ambulance bay doors, mother nature decides to take a piss right on downtown boston. IT POURED, like DOWN POURED for 30 minutes with tremendous thunder and lightning....While all this is going on, a town that we cover for EMS, strikes a box for a house fire. (poor guy)... The rest of the night was spent doing pointless calls keeping me awake and running all over the damn place... All of this was done with a smile on my face and I never lost my sense of humor...(ask the people i work with... im like coffee without the harmful side effects)


All in all it was a crazy night and I hope maybe one day, ALL OF YOU can share that experience.... Because I sure as hell, never want a night like that again...

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Nelson Mandela A lot of people are sharing their coming out story and I figured it was time to share mine. A lot of people who know me do not know this story, even some of my family do not understand truly what happened. I remind everyone reading the below passage that if you do not like what you have read or feel like you would like to talk more or are having trouble coming out, please feel fr...

Coming Out

So today, I don't know what brought it on, but I spent the day thinking about my coming out experience. I have heard a lot of peoples stories, some good, some bad but all of them different. I have also learned that if I was to get a chance to do it over again, I wouldn't. So it starts my sophomore year of high school. It was lunch time and I was sitting in the same hall with the same group of friends I had been sitting with for the last year and a half or so.. I was sitting next to my friend melissa. I nudged her and said "hey melissa, I think I'm gay..." Her reaction was PRICELESS "OMG ARE YOU REALLY!?!?!?! THATS AWESOME!!!" so that was a good start right?? I like to think so. So over the new few days I started to tell more and more people. Some of my friends took it well, others didn't.. Being in high school was hard since things like this, well spread like a wildfire.. So more and more people started knowing and asking. Before long the s...
