The sun is so hot and the heat is so warm. grabe!. It's in the late 90 degrees and i'm sweatin like a pig when i walk outside. Felling like a log in a hot summer day. I just want to lay in the beach and drink some martini or San Mig light like i did in when i was in Boracay. I miss Boracay in a day like this. The way you walk the strip of hotels and stores with their beeds and pearls. With the people playing guitar singing their songs in the middle of the day. Nice!. I miss the friendly faces that greats you as you take your morning walks. People saying " Sir, Boat ride manong, arund da Island" or "bicycle for rent, filipino price!".. Or the time i spent in Hay Jude with those super models. he,he... yup, miss those days.

|

i recieved a visit from the cops today. They went to my office and needing to talk to me. But its not what it seemed. they needed to take some pictures and they wanted it for free. freakin cheap sanuvahB!. i told them they cant have it. They had the nerve to talk to the security like they can do something but i told them the same thing. What do they think this is sixflags. they probably earn more than i do. This is democracy please not China. anywho, the freakin day was just freakin fine. no freakin deal. i went to my freakin school after my freakin work and i had a freakin tiring day. My freakin head is aching because of the freakin wheather. It's freaking hot one day and the next will be freakin cold. its just freakin!.

10:42 pm - "rotation"
|
Today, I help save three lives. The lives of the people that would not be present at this very moment without the intervention of the EMT’s and Paramedics.
It all started 7 a.m. this very morning when I came for my first rotation. I had to wake up 4:30 a.m. just to get to Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn. I took the F train to get there and walk a couple of blocks. As I took the walk, I notice the nice weather, nice houses, apartments and thinking it’s going to be an easy day today without knowing what’s at in store. With the beautiful sunshine in the horizon nothing can dismay this very day. That’s what I thought anyways. It was in my perception that all I’m doing today would be watch and observe to what the EMT’s are doing and take notes. That was true in theory but I wasn’t prepared for what’s to come.
It was 7 a.m. when I got to LaGuardia Hospital. It just took about 5 minutes for our first call. Introduction weren’t even present. I just heard someone said, “Just hop on the bus and lets go”. With the siren roaming the streets of Brooklyn, I was expecting for a comfortable day. Lol. Our first call wasn’t even supposed to be hectic. We were responding for a man about to jump off the Verazano Bridge. But to my surprise, a cop called us, due to an accident just a block away and this was no fender bender. This was a chain reaction of cars struck in the rear and front end of the vehicle. One taxi stood out of this disaster. The taxi struck a tree causing it’s front end to be total wrecked, smoke coming out of the car, and deployed airbag. This was called a blunt trauma. We checked the patient for consciousness. He was verbal but unresponsive to our questions. He was saying something but all I heard was hhmhmhm-ahamhmhm. I was asked to check for Vital signs by Karen the other EMT Carlos. This is not their real name of course to hide their anonymity. I did what was asked of me. I heard an argument between my two partners about to what to do to extricate the patient from the car. Karen seemed somehow resembles a person that doesn’t know the proper procedure at that moment. I had to step up and help my other partner to put the patient into a KED and then in a long board. I felt the stress and the pressure to perform properly and accordingly because there was a lot of police, firemen and the supervisor at the scene. As we load the patient to the ambulance I help took the vital signs and my patient assessment. I spoke to the patient and it became clear that he’s more aware of his surroundings. We got him to the ER and he was treated for his injuries.
At long at last I felt relief and a good job well done. I was even congratulated by my partner Carlos.
Another bus arrived needing assistance to unload its patient. I was thinking, that this shouldn’t be that hard. When they opened the door of the ambulance, I saw the most enormous woman in my life. I believe she was about 450-500 lbs. The lady had those big, huge, humongous feet with dry skin and open wound in her toes. I quickly grabbed my BSI “gloves” to avoid direct contact. We had to carry her to the ER and load her to the bed. This was not an easy task at all. I think I dropped a little of my body parts as I was gripping the life out of the stretcher. Lol.
After a few minutes had passed, we had another call. Not even enough time to rest fully. This call was about a construction worker dropped from a second floor hitting his head in a metal structure. By the time we got there the ALS was already at the scene. I was asked to help out in the procedure. I told myself another Trauma patient. As I got there the patient regained consciousness and able to verbalize how it happened. But still, he’s in the stage of possibly unstable patients due to his injury. This was right. By the time we got to the ambulance his eyes started to dilate and his pulse was rising. We stripped the guy off his clothes because we might have to do CPR. I looked for more injury bellow the legs and checked for perfusion motor sensory. As we got to the ER it was a cool feeling because it’s like a scene out of a movie or a show. I was about to look for George Clooney for cheese sake!
My third call was not that bad. We had a boy with a sprained left foot and transporting him was a breeze compare to the ones before. As we about to be done for the day, we were on our way to home base until a pedestrian flagged us. We stopped and saw this person lying prone to the ground. No sign of movement and we were told by the passerby that he fell while walking. Figure that out yourself. It was a case of bandaging the boo-boo and transporting him. Until we found out in our patient assessment that he was not responsive to our questions. I administered the oxygen and wrapped his wounds. The patient was a bit weird because while I’m doing this he was looking at me funny in a way that made me uncomfortable. We put him on the stretcher and loaded him up in the bus. Karen told me to take his vital sign coz I think she didn’t want to touch the patient at all. So I guess it was up to me. I had to go almost over the patient to reach for his right wrist for radial pulse. I couldn’t check it at his left due to his abrasion and I guess due to excessive usage of crack his arms started to swell. All was fine until he started to have a seizure and this is not good at all. He startled me coz I was so close to him that if we hadn’t restrained him in the stretcher, he would have knocked me out in a single motion. It was like that movie “ Seven”, when the police discovered a body of a male thinking that it was dead until it started choking in his face. I felt the exact same way at that very moment. I was surprised that I almost jumped off my feet. We left him in the ER with the care of the medical Doctors and nurses.
That was our last call of the day. With all the activities, I was tired and exhausted. My feet and back was killin the heck out of me. But I was thinking that it was in all the days work and I gave myself a pat on the back. He,he. I never felt so good about a job well done. My body was tired but my heart was satisfied and proud of what had happened today. My supervisor was so glad for my help that I got a great review on my report. He said he was going to put a good word for me when I finish the EMT course. This to me was great but I have plans just in case. As I was leaving I was congratulated for my good job. They were glad because not all the student that went in their rotation actually does work. Most of them just stand in a corner and observed.
I treated myself for some nice cold frapuccino (tama ba ang spell?), and I read some pages of my book and I went home with my chin up high. I wanted to share this moment with someone from the my past but I don’t think my call would be appreciated or even welcomed for that matter. So, I'll just kept it all to myself and to my journal for now. I had a long, exciting, stressful, confusing, and intense day, but with a smile on my face when it was done. (c”,)
