I actually remember my first emergency very well. Sitting at the station on the first night, during a crappy winter storm, we get hit out for a vehicle into a structure with injuries. When we pulled up, I can't even remember how many times my partner and I fell that night. It ended up being a B.S. call with one transported to the hospital to get checked out, no complaints of course. But during the transport to the hospital we were going down a hill (the whole damn town I live in is a hill) and my partner shouts "oh f**k" and next thing I know I'm being thrown across the patient as we slid sideways down the hill bouncing from curb to curb until we were sitting in the middle of the intersection at the bottom of the hill. So I remember my first one REAL WELL! I've had a lot since then, as the Provider, Supervisor, Operations Chief, and eventually the Chief of Department. Don't worry, your gonna do just fine. Like I always told my employees, do your job, do your best, and have a little fun along the way.
