I had my first gunshot victim last night!!
It wasn't nearly as gnarly as I thought it would be going into it. It was a minor wound to the lower extremity from a small caliber handgun. But yet and still, it was my first gunshot wound. And there was a nice amount of blood. The medics actually BLS'd the call, surprisingly enough, so it was all mine on the way in to the hospital.
=)
Is it weird that this shit excites me?? We were actually all cheering out loud when the call went out. Someone across the street from where we were all parked thought we were cheering the world series or something like that. I guess normal people just don't get it.
In other news...
The last few weeks have been a bit rough for various reasons. Some shitty things have happened that have taken a toll on me emotionally. I have noticed myself over compensating in unhealthy ways. I try to wear the mask of "I'm OK" but on the underneath, the shit still festers. Gotta work on that.
I am taking myself up north next week for my birthday. I already have my ticket. I think getting out of here for a bit will be good for me. I need to see some beautiful people that I love and miss.
And get some perspective.
Hope everyone is well.
Till the next one...
