Spring semester...already?

I'm a week into spring classes and so far I have...


  • Simulated a decompression of my instructor's chest and extricated him (with a lot of struggle and hassle) from a 'car vs bridge'
  • Killed the Sim-man
  • Told a simulated pt's son everything would be ok while in the middle of CPR. This is bad, very bad.
  • Learned that I forgot everything about eggs and ovaries
  • Went to the Arrowhead EMS conference and reaffirmed that I LOVE teaching
  • Explained 12ld ECG's while drunk. Now I just have to figure them out while sober.
  • Made arrangements to ride with another medic to get more experience in the field
  • Acquired a new roommate
Meet Sly. Isn't he lovely?
