24 hours ago, I was taking a nap in the back of an ambulance during some downtime at the end of my ride-along shift. The two paramedics I followed around for 12 hours were both really nice, and cool about answering questions and showing me how everything works.
Important things I learned:
-drugs are bad (don't do heroin!)
-some hospitals give delicious snacks to ems workers
-re-learning spanish would be really useful
-I should get a better stethoscope
-blood really doesn't bother me
-I'm going to love this
