That sounds cool, I have to call one of the field supervisors with ProMed tomorrow about working for them part-time. And get this bull crap.

Guys kill a police officer and only get 45 years. Thats why I love where I live, Arkansas might get a bunch of crap. But, here if you kill a officer you get life at a minimum.

Oh, well nothing will get through them then. haha I figured you did but just wanted to be on the safe side.
haha no, he actually has a parole date coming up. And there is talk that they will let the guy out. Which I think is bull, the guy were talking about is the one who spit on the officer. I don't see why they only gave him 45 years.

Re: Random Hang Out Topic
haha, yeah that would suck. Someone asked me a weirds question today. We were watching a movie in history and it had a bunch of blood and guts and was really realistic. Which i'm sitting over there eating food and someone leans over and asks how I can stand it. I look at them and go because i'm weird. She goes what do you mean? I go well i'm an EMT-B and you have to be just a bit weird to begin with to deal with depressing things all the time. She then calls me stupid and turns around. But I got the last word in. And when something happens to you, you'll be grateful for the EMT's who help you.

Re: Random Hang Out Topic
For those of you who want to know about the fire that I had earlier.
Call came in:
Tones 911 to Madison Co. Fire and Whitehall Vol. Respond to 3000 block of Possey Ridge Rd. on a report of a kitchen fire. Signal 40 (caller) advises that they were cooking in the trailer and something caught fire. They believe that it is under control at this time.
I go code 12, with County Fire and no one else responds with me cause we think it's just an out fire. I get half way there, and hear "911 to Madison County fire and Whitehall vol. signal 40 just 10-9'd dispatch, the fire has spread and the trrailer is now fully involved."
I bump it up to Code 8 (emergency response) and I hear Whitehall get retoned. We get 15-20 members now enroute instead of 1, and County is still coming, but I figure were good. I get about 100-500 ft. from the scene and I can see the Black plume rising from what would be our scene. I then hear, "911 to Madison County Fire and Whitehall Vol. we are now getting multiple calls over this run and have been notifed that the structure behind the trailer is now fully involved at the 3rd floor, I repeat the 3rd floor of the structure to the rear of the trailer is now fully involved.
My foot is getting a little heavier at this point but as I get out of my POV, I have that Oh S^^T moment. 1256 to 911 we have 2 structures fully involved, can you get me another vol. agency and station 2 from County. Also put BGAD (Blue Grass army depot, the one place in the US you don't want to be 1/2 of the US chemical weapons are stored here.), Richmond, and Brea Fire on stand by for this.
Long story short we were on scene for atleast 4 hours trying to knock that fire down.

My dads patient drank a whole bottle of hard liqour, 15 metal prescriptions. Lets just say she was your best friend, your worst enemy, the most carring person in the world, and she was very sorry in the 20 minute ride to the hospital.

Geez, that's funny! My friend acted bipolar one time, he was all nice to you and was like "How are you, beautiful day?" Then he'd yell at you and then he'd start crying. Then he'd get all stressed out and crazy. He's so funny...

Haha cool. Yesterday I was coming home past the fire station, and the garages were opening up. I just missed the response. When I got home, I heard the Q siren from the truck and the wail from the ambulance.
