Hi Kasey! Yeah, sometimes it is cool being friends with a famous person but in reality, they are just like we are...they eat, sleep and do all the other things we do every day! I am sure that your city would allow visitors to do ride-alongs if they asked. Most cities in North America do it and there are even those in Europe that do. It sounds like you get called out quite often? Are there many highways around you? We get all our big wrecks on the highway where the cars are doing in excess of 100 miles per hour. I got my first subway suicide jumper the other night. She survived but she was really chewed up. There is very little room under a subway car and she was run over by two of them. She will loose her legs and probably an arm. She had extensive head trauma as well. The whole time we extricated her, she was concious! Imagine the screaming and yelling she was doing. I know you will do well because you are always studying!!! I can't imagine what it must be like to own a firetruck! Where I work, we report to a station house and pick up our vehicle for the day, we are one of about 400 ambulances that go out in a 24 hour period. I never get the same rig, it is a different one every day. I hope to visit your part of the US one day. Take care and stay safe!!!

hi !

Well, I'm glad that you are not getting all the exams at once! Hope that you did OK with the Math...never my favorite subject! Isn't it funny...when you have an observer or a ride along, nothing happens....the next night...boom, all hell breaks loose! We had a fire call with two cardiac arrests the night after Kevin left to go back to the windy city!!! He was visiting Montreal and e-mailed me to ask if I could set up a ride along for him...I do that with a lot of friends in fire/police/ems. Here in Montreal, there are not a lot of teams that are English, so whenever a fellow paramedic, cop or firefighter is in town and wants to do a ride along, I am often asked to take them with me because I speak English. This could be a great benifit...I was once asked to take a rock 'n roll musician along with me, Shawn Phillips from Texas was in town on tour and he volunteers as a firefighter in Texas, so I was asked to take him with me....we are now good friends and he invites me to all his concerts and often visits with my family when he is in town. Who says this life is boring??? Keep smiling Kasey...it makes people wonder what you have been up to!!!!! Stay safe!

Daniel

Hi Kasey! I had a feeling that she would do something like that! Good luck with all three of them. Things are good here, I am back to work after a slight injury with a violent patient. We had a paramedic from Chicago ride along with us last night...as it turned out, we got nothing!!! It's always the same, when you want a big call...you never get it...when you want to sleep, it's hopping mad! Stay safe!!

Dan

Hey Kasey! Glad to hear you caught a break again but don't get fooled...that exam is going to come sooner or later...keep studying!!! Glad you got the patches. Stay safe!!

Daniel

Hey Kasey!! I hope everything is good with you? I got your patches today and wanted to say thanks!!! Good luck with the classes. Stay low and be safe!!

Daniel

Maybe if she keeps forgetting you will have an exam free year??? Don't worry, there are always plenty of tests to pass! Keep the books open!!! Take care!

Daniel

I hope the patches add something to your collection. I think I could handle Virginia for a while! Glad to hear that school is going well.....the only problem with a teacher forgetting about an exam is that they are sure to remember at the wrong time as well!! Stay safe.

Hi Kasey! Don't worry about when you send them out, I understand that people are busy. I hope that school is going well for you. My hand is better and I should be back on the rig within a week or so. I'll be ready for the next violent guy!! Have a great day and stay safe!

Consider them on the way! I am glad to hear that studying is going well. It is difficult to burn both ends of the candel...so be careful and take care of your health too!
I sprained my hand dealing with a violent patient last night and now I am on light duty for 10 days.....I hate working in the office!
Stay safe out there.
Daniel

Hey Kasey! I hope you are having a great day? Thanks for the add and for agreeing to swap patches. I will send you a Montreal FD along with my EMS patch for your collection if that is OK? How is the studying going? Stay safe.
