When I was little, I wanted to be Batman, Superman, Indiana Jones, a paramedic, a police officer, a doctor, or a vet. Well, I'm just about too young for the last three; I'm not a guy, so that eliminates the first three; I'm also not from Krypton, so that eliminates Superman again. Not a paramedic yet, but I will be soon, so EMS in general was the best fit. Not to mention that it's a damn good job for a college student.

Clipped mirrors with other vehicles while in our bariatric truck. That truck was damn near the width of the lane of traffic, but with mirrors, it was wider. The first incident a truck in the oncoming lane clipped out mirror as he was about to turn. The second we clipped mirrors with a city bus; two larger vehicles in small lanes just don't play well. The worst part about it was that, while no damage was done in either incident, the sound of the collision was really quite terrible. At least I didn't run over a fire hydrant and then back into the I-beam in out bay like another kid did...in the same week...

On the second day the knee was better and on the third it disappeared. 8. The patient was tearful and crying constantly. She also appears depressed. 9. The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993. 10. Discharge status: Alive, but without my permission. 11. Patient had waffles for breakfast and anorexia for lunch. 12. She in numb from her toes down. 13. While in the ER, she was examined, X-rated, and sent home. 14. The skin was moist and dry. 15. Patient was alert and unresponsive. 16. I saw your patient today, who is still under our car for therapy. 17. The pelvic exam will be done later on the floor.
