Thank you all
Thank you all for putting up with my work rants.
This is the place I feel like I can "psychologically exhale" and let some of what I deal with out. Not everything I deal with at work is screams and horror, some times we get to do some good as well. I do value the support of my family and friends, Rosie is amazing to me when I have had to deal with too much. Some times I get off duty and just feel broken, seen too much, done too much, lost too many. Being able to vent about it helps more than I can say. But there are still some calls I don't talk about, some I can not talk about, things that are too overwhelming to ever be able to communicate. The really bad calls can not be explained to anyone who was not there, there are no words for the terror you read in some patients eyes, no descriptive for the sounds and smells and glistening viscera of organs laying in the rain.
Some times I feel sorry for my adrenal glands, they really take a beating most weeks. grin.
So on behalf of the over worked, underpaid, people who can bring you back from the dead but are still referred to as "ambulance drivers", thank you for your understanding and your support.
