About Me:: My medic school class is the biggest group of dorks ever! (but i love em anyway!)

"Omg, wow girl you really are short! your height is a contraindication for a combitube!!!"

thanks guys, and fyi no I am NOT a midget... midget solely by height has to be 4'10" and I am 4'11" thank you much! and no I dont need a booster seat to drive the ambo or cruiser either..... booster seat is 4'9" lol :)

I absolutely LOVE emergency services.... there honestly hasnt ever been a time when i've freaked out on a scene, I just get in the zone and everything slows down.

I LOVE firehouse humor, even as a girl i think its absolutely hilarious, I will throw just as much crap right back at you guys as you throw at me and have a good time doing it!
Day Job:: Critical Care Transport Paramedic
Relationship Status:: Married

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I feel I owe something back to the community. I was a 26 weeker at birth with next to no chance to live and supposedly no chance for anything resembling quality of life. Now I am 21 years old, and have no limitations due to my early entrance into the world and stint on life support.

I eventually hope to be a joint flight medic/ police officer with the Fairfax County Police Department Aviation Division once I get my butt in shape!

Until I get my butt in shape I hope to be a dispatcher :)
Why I Love Fire/EMS: knowing I have made a difference in peoples lives
Top Issues Facing Responders:: having an adequate budget for proper equipment, training, and staffing -also-
having people that are actually both motivated and competent enough to do the work

At this point I'm tired of the bambulance. I've managed to work ten shifts in the last twelve days. Thats a whole lot of EMS as a second job... give me a week off and I'll feel better. It wouldn't be so bad if the last few days hadn't been crazy busy...damn flu season.... grrrr...

Hope your recovery is quick and painless. Had neck c6-c7 surgery in 2001 with a cadaver bone replacement also. Took me 5 months to get back to work, but seems to be holding up quite well. Dave

mmmmmmmm......................vicodin. good stuff. take it easy out there, be safe.

CPT Chris RN

Yes, I know the ice machine well when I worked in the PACU. go easy on the vicodin; if you don't need it, don't take it. the 1500mg part in the vicodin is tylenol and your maximum 24hr dose should be only 4grams.... so be kind to your liver! That and the narcotic in the vicodin has been known to...ummmm....back things up. I doubt you may be up to eating yet. Sorry- still being a nurse. Good luck with the PT. And the CPM machine will keep your joint from "locking" up while you are laying about. Take care!!!
