Prayer

Slow day today. Only did two calls.

Went to a church where a womanin the lobby had a blood sugar of 40. She was a hard stick, especially with about twenty members of the congregation looking on. It took me about five minutes to find the vein and get up the confidence to hit it, but i got it, a little 22 on a hard angle in her hand. Gave her an amp and half -- took forever to push -- and she was back smiling a multiple missing tooth grin.

The woman, her husband and the minister thanked us, then all joined hands with the other members of the congregation and said a prayer, as we loaded our gear back up on the stretcher and headed out the doors.

The other call was a lady with the flu.
