The morning paper had a picture of us at the accident scene in the state section. All you can see is my back side, standing with the board and stretcher, while my preceptee directs the extrication, just after the fire department has peeled the roof off.

Today we did an old woman who passed out in the bathroom, a unresponsive diabetic with a blood sugar of 39 who my preceptee woke up with an amp of D50 IV and then got a refusal, a chest pain, a four hundred pound lady who was vomiting and two calls where no patient was found. In one, the fire department had to break the double locked door down only to find no one inside. It happens all the time.
