please dont drink and drive....
it sucks having something big happen and not having one person that i wanna call and tell them everything.
i was driving home tonight and i saw a car sideways on 164th and i didnt realize what happened right away. i thought they had parked and were just hanging out. as i passed by i saw the damage on the passenger side so i stopped. i couldnt do too much because i had nothing on me. i saw both guys were breathing just not moving around to much. niether of them spoke english but i tried getting them too understand that they shouldnt be moving around at all. one other person had called 911 but we actually flagged down an ambulance that just happened to be passing by. they got one person out easily and i helped stabalize his head and they had to call the fire department to get the second guy out. my knees were weak the ENTIRE TIME. i havnt actually responded to a mva or any kind of trama involving blood yet so i was a bit scared and even alittle hesitant to stop. but i think (i hope) this got the butterflys out of my system.
i recognized one of the emt's from the other night. i saw him while i was riding with the flushing community volunteer ambulance corps. i think he might be pretty new because he looked very in shock about the whole thing too. i finally responded to a call with fcvac. it was a learning experience lol. we were transporting a drunk man that we picked up by the 7 train. his friend called 911 and he did want to go to the hospital for detox but he was being extreamly uncooperative with me and even alittle combative. i have to be a lot more carefull because i dont know if this guy had a weapon. even after i explained myself he thought i was trying to rob him when all i wanted to do was take his vitals.
all of this has reassured me that i wanna be involved with 911 job-wise in the future. hopefully sooner then later.
