I'm soooo sorry I missed your Birthday little Kiwi Man! Here's some late Birthday Love! :occasion7: :occasion7: :occasion7: :occasion7: :occasion7: :occasion7: :occasion7: :occasion7:

If all men were this honest right up front! -Brandi

HAHAHAHAHA....sorry for the loud laughter, but I used to work for Acadian. Of course their web site makes them look wonderful! But seriously, how many places do you know of have to offer HUGE sign on bonuses and make you sign a 2 YEAR COMMITMENT? You will be spanked, spanked and spanked again and before it's all said and done, you will take on the "beaten wife syndrome" and actually think you deserve it. They, of course, have their finer points...excellent training and top of the line equipment. But, you will be nothing but a pulse and will be treated as such.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! :blob2: :blob3: :blob4: :blob5: :occasion1: :occasion2: :occasion4: :occasion6: :occasion7:

This one looks like it could be nasty. I'll be hunkered down here at the hospital as part of the skeleton crew. All you folks keep your fingers crossed and maybe say a little prayer for us! We still have construction going on from the destruction 3 years ago. I used to never get worried but now I start to feel that ol' hurricane panic when they start heading toward us. We have a pretty good plan here at my service so hopefully we'll do what we have to do. Have I mentioned I HATE Hurricanes?

I had one of those wonderful experiences today that I just wanted to share. My middle school age son's school sends email announcements weekly to notify parents of upcoming school functions and what-not. I received an email from them about a week ago that there was going to be a "HERO DAY" lunch. Students were asked to invite one person in their life that they considered to be a hero. I secretly covet moments like this..moments that my son can be proud of me...moments were he can strut around an say "My MOM is a PARAMEDIC!". So, needless to say, I've been waiting everyday for a week for my son to ask me to come to lunch with him. Finally today I broke down and said "hey Bubba..i see that there is a hero lunch at your school...." to which he promptly replied "Yeah, I'm bringing my dad." SLAP..SLAP...SLAP....SLAP...that's what I felt across my face! HIS DAD?!?!?!? His dad that is a crane operator and has never paid a dime of child support?!?!? His dad that forgets his birthday and then throws a HUGE bash for the 2 year old son that he has with his new wife?!?!?!? HOLY GOD!!!!! Upset...YEAH..HECK YEAH! But, I smiled and said "Cool, that should be fun." Anyway..thanks for letting me say all of this in here, since I would never say it to my son. Ranting is good for the soul.

Lone, don't hide it anymore..you are really George Carlin moonlighting as a dispatcher. It's so obvious....

Boy Beep..i've been in your shoes. I was an emt-basic at the time working with the biggest jerk that ever lived. My supervisor also apologized to me before they put me with him with a "So, hope this works out..you seem to get along with anyone.." Kind of thing. I agree with AK on the documentation...keep a little notepad in your pocket and write in the bad boy like a 13 year old girl with angst! Man, you have my sympathies. I know what it's like to dread going to work because your partner is a bouche dag (switch em'). Hopefully his employment with ya'll is as short as the amount of time it takes him to make a first impression!

count me in...how fun!

We got one for Thanksgiving a few years ago and it was not so good. The meat was really oily and gamey and the stuffing was like that insulation that you can get blown into your walls...(yes, i have tasted it...so there). You don't get much deeper south than where i live...and yeah i'm cajun (wanna' make something of it?) So take my advice and avoid this little southern creation..have a fried turkey instead, they are the bomb!

totally take the kids..no big deal. then they get to eat snacks and watch tv in the ER while dad gets treatment and the world keeps on spinnin'. We deal with this general situation pretty often in this neck of the woods....poor families, no vehicles, etc.

i think i laughed so hard i may have blown some of my guts out.......

[/font:c7896a4282] HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (to my favorite Canadian!) Hope this year is the best one yet! XOXOXO, Brandi

holy crap that was awesome!! :notworthy:

my bad..i must have been posting at the same time as you were putting in the lab values...i didn't see those before i guessed.

after reading the questions and answers so far, i'd like to take a stab at this one an say "left sided cystic lesions". my 12 year old son had the same thing almost to a T and we had 3 MRI's and a CT and the conclusion was ..... The cysts had always been there and with differing degrees of pressure inside each cysts came the symptoms...feeling funny, headaches, sensitivity to sound and sometimes mild vertigo. Well there's my 2 cents...by the way, this condition is not treatable...just gotta' roll with it.

I can remember just a few years ago that i went to work for 5.55 and hour on a 16 hour truck. Ahhhh memories.

funny that someone would post this, since we just had this discussion at work. i too was a basic-force to be reckoned with. i took pride in my work and the work of my paramedic partner, i went above and beyond always to be two steps ahead.Then...I got the gold patch and apparently developed mild mental retardation along with it. I sometimes wonder how long it will be before people realize that I have lost my marbles. I guess I'm not the only one who feels like I'm fooling everyone by being a paramedic, maybe this is a good thing though, because I find that noone around me reads, researches and goes back over old calls more than I do. So, I guess if doubting yourself makes you keep trying to improve yourself, maybe it's okay to (in my mind) feel like a drooling baboon.

she had no idea that she had inhaled the condom?!?! No Idea whatsoever? He didn't notice it was missing?!?! No one found the wrapper and thought "Hmmm..wonder where that little guy went"...and start looking around in the covers? I'm dumbfounded.

I've wasted 10 dollars on a lot of useless stuff in my life, so I'll risk it. Can't be any worse than when I went and watched "The Lake House".

i'm gonna' be honest, we watched the clips here in our dispatch and laughed our butts off. it's a spoof people, it's silly and goofy and we all need to learn to laugh a little more. i can tell by reading some people's responses on here that it's not everyone's type of humor, but i didn't form my opinion on what i think about docs by watching Scrubs, or my opinion about cops by watching Super Troopers or Reno 911.....so i'm gonna' go out on a limb and say that the majority of folks will understand that this is just a comedy. no offense to the people that take every second of their day seriously, it takes all kinds, but if it shows in our area....our whole department will go and watch it and laugh like a bunch of loons!

Pirate Audra the Engorged.......hmm, it's like they know me!
