Weekend Update
Posted By Carsten On 11th October 2004 @ 15:07 In General, EMS | No Comments
This past weekend I attended Meliora Weekend at [1] University of Rochester, which is sort of an alumni/parents/homecoming weekend all rolled into one. It actually turned out to be a pretty busy weekend… Thursday night went out to dinner with some friends of college days vintage, who I hadn't seen in a year or so. On Friday, I started my marathon shift with [2] my former college EMS squad by signing out a pager to provide ILS to the campus 24/7 while I was there… Luckily only two calls, neither of which was acute enough to require me to do anything. (A woman who wore sandals and was impaled in the foot with a nail, and an underage male who, per his own admission, drank too much alcohol/smoked too much weed, and then didn't feel well…)
I also attended a few lectures and other events, one of which was a performance by comedian Dennis Miller. He was pretty good, but it was kinda short… ($35 for an hour performance.)
Then on Saturday I hosted an IV workshop for the members of my college EMS squad… It went well, with most people getting their first stick, even if they did exsanguinate their patients…
I am not quite sure if this was legal or not, so shh…
(I love going to school in a country without so many blood-sucking lawyers, and the resulting ridicioulous laws)… On Sunday, it was time to head back for my regulary scheduled EMS shift for my hometown vollie squad.
