  • Meris

    Hey Aaron!
    Other than being a volunteer EMT, I don't do anything outside of school haha! My major with a double minor keeps me pretty darn busy.
  • Meris

    Oh I know, exam time is always terrible, let alone while running calls! I actually went home for Thanksgiving, but apparently the station was pretty quiet!

  • Meris

    Oh good luck on getting that job! Well, I'm actually 48 hours post-op...I had to get my appendix out on Tuesday :( I haven't been able to run a call for a few shifts now, which makes me very sad haha.
  • Meris

    Oh everyone's been super nice to me...my parents came 4 hours to pick me up from school and bring me to our hospital back home where the docs would actually DO the surgery (the hospital back at school refused to do the surgery because they claimed i didn't actually have appendicitis...anyway). They've been taking great care of me :)
