attack of the one eyed man and picking up a prostitute

This last week was pretty fun.  The first call that we got was one to a homeless man outside the valero gas station.  We get him and his wheel chair into the back of the ambulance and once we get the monitor hooked up to him.  I prepare the IV equipment and the man says if you don't get it in one try I will shove my boot up your A#@ and ill do it.  So i got it all ready and went in for it and the vein rolled and then infiltrated the man then went to grab the needle because he wanted to do it himself.  It was hilarious.  We asked him which hospital he wanted to go to and so we took him to OU hospital then on the way there he wanted to go to St. Anthony hospital which it was to late and so he started to get out of the cot before we even got him out of the ambulance.  We then made it into the hospital got him into his wheel chair and next thing you know he was rolling out of there.  We told the police that he was ETOH and that he left so they went after him and I guessed arrested him for public intox.
I can officially say that I have picked up a prostitute haha.  This prostitute was so annoying the whole way to the hospital.  apparently her leg hurt real bad.  She said it hurt probably over a hundred times while hitting her hand against the cabinets in the back of the ambulance.  She had hairy armpits and hairy legs, it was nasty.  I don't know why anyone would ever want to pick up a prostitute they are all pretty nasty.
My preceptor, Cece Pasillas, is the bomb.com she has been helping me out as I lead the calls asking me questions on what I think each patient has and even giving me homework that she printed out.  It is great.  It is sad to think that I will be with a new preceptor in a couple of weeks.
I almost got sprayed by a skunk the other night.  We were waiting at lake Hefner for a missing man that went fishing 4 hours prior to our arrival, luckily after 3 hours of waiting the man finally showed up. but going back to the skunk I went to walk down to the lake and bam my preceptor pulled me back and there right in front of me was this skunk that ran right across my path.  Oh and we went to the shore in this off road vehicle and the fire truck was following us and then we looked back and the fire truck was stuck.  it was stuck for about 2 hours.  it was a long but fun night.
This week has been getting me excited to work as a paramedic here in OKC.  I love it here.  I am looking forward though to a traumatic call seeing how I have yet to have one.
