Learning And Growing?! I Wish!
I got to see something really neat...yet really GROSS at the same time today...
I saw my first compound fracture. REALLY bloody, bony bits everywhere, and I'm honestly surprised that the part didn't just fall off from lack of stuff holding it to the rest of the body! It actually made some of the trauma pictures in my EMT class book look TAME!
Oh...and I've decided that I'm not just 'vertically challenged'.....
I'm F***ing SHORT!
I was the ONLY girl at the station today...and at LEAST 6-8 inches shorter than the shortest guy there.....AND I'm the newest-certified.....so I was getting all the short jokes, the rookie jokes, and all the "hey, YOU're a girl..." stuff...
It was friggin' HILARIOUS.
We were pretty much non-stop today too...
I LOVED IT!
Yeah, I'm in a good mood. I'm feeling better, even WITH the newly-acquired sunburn, and it was 82* today! Can't complain there! :)
Ok...time to go scrounge for some post-work food, then into the shower then off to bed...I have to get up REALLY early again today...
