You know when you work in rural ems when u get a 3 page list of roads closed in winter the 3rd week in september. Plus giving direction on how to get to houses on those roads. ie: take a left into the johnson driveway ver to your right up busby hill it will be your 2nd house on your left. this auctualy happens on our dept.

Well out here in the Hilltown we cover 3 times the size of Boston. Thank goodness not as many people tho. Depending on what town your going to you can be looking at anywhere from 15min ride to a 90min ride. I never knew how out of shape i was until i had to do CPR for 45mins to the closest hoispital (and she was a big woman) but anyway im just glad to have one thing pretty close and thats life flight or medflight granted its 10-15 out most of the time but hey sometimes they beat the ambulance (if dispatched by FD onscene right away). Im so used to long rides that when i went and did my ride time in the city i couldnt believe how many times u can be at the hospital in 1 hour. lol

Well i cant say that i have. Not atleast to my face anyway. I live in a community where 99.98% of the population is white. We cover 6 towns in a small part of western mass. The only time that changes is during the summer when people come to relax and visit our lakes and rivers to have a nice swim. I know there are some in our community that dont like the fact that there are people of other races in our small towns. When your on the job there is no such thing as racism, no matter how stupid the situation is that they got themselves into. Because i know damn well of atleast 3 people from out own community that have done the exact samethings. lol

Ok i picked other because im in the in-between of my EMT-B and EMT-I. All i have left is my state testing. Oh how i love to test. :shock:
