stuck in a glass case of emotion.

This week has been just great!!! I am beginning to love paramedicine so much.  besides the fact that I am stuck in the back of the ambulance the entire night.  My crew calls me the monkey and that the back of the ambulance is my cage.  We had some fun calls this week, not as fun as many of the other students but they were fun.  We had a diabetic man that was in a police car banging literally banging his head on the plexi glass window and once we got there he said he was never doing that and that he was alright.  He had this really weird bump on his side we kept thinking it was a hematoma of some sort until we got to the hospital.  The man acted drunk and the cop in the back with us just started messing with him.  We found out what that thing was on his side, it was a cyst.  Im doing much better on my IVs I have practically hit many of them pretty quick.  I had many cardiac arrest patients this week and got to administer Nitro spray for the first time which was pretty cool.  I got on the news this week as you could see in the previous post from a house fire and a couple of patients with smoke inhalation.  There was one lady when we were helping here into the ambulance that i looked up and yep HELLLOOOO no pants or underwear just a whole lotta crack.  They seemed fine as we got them to the hospital.  Another patient was twitching and had a syncope episode prior to our arrival and we could not figure out what was wrong.  We got an IV in and gave some saline, then about 5 minutes after she stopped twitching and was perfectly fine.  Come to find out she was severally dehydrated.  We had a DKA patient that was also a heroine addict.  she had like no veins so I just looked for the tract marks and bam hello there it was, got it. What a great week.  I love my crew and they are helping me so much.  I love working the night shift as well. We have watched a couple of movies posting for other calls, those being: what to expect when you are expecting, TMNT, and teenage mutant ninja turtles the first movie.  It has been so much fun.  Looking forward for this next week.  Oh and UTAH won!!!!!!!!!!!!!
