We keep getting back in line because you have such soft hands sarge.
That's due to the extensive use of lotion..

Serious question, what’s your budget for hookers in a month? They look expensive.
Nobody noticed the Klingon?

Apparently every evil empire has a Jar Jar Binks.
It isn't gay to get your balls touched, and I didn’t see any women to ask.

WRT midwife v OB-GYN Hospital-everything is fine except when it isn't. When it isn't it can be permanent.
One simply must live with one's decision.
But when baby is not perfect ,lawsuits often follow.
Built a small work bench, 60”, at the wife’s request yesterday. Need to add a couple lights, peg board and a power strip. Turned out really solid though. Also made a Canadian bacon with backstrap that turned out really good. A little grainy as to be expected with venison, but really tasty.
As a retired EMT, we were always conscious of "scene control." Be it in the field or in the OR suite. We used to have monthly "drills" where we'd have to respond to a "contrived" scenario and resolve it... usually a "disaster drill" sort of scenario. There would always be one person who just went absolutely "cray-cray" in an attempt to disrupt the scene and what the working EMTs were doing. The most senior ranking member (crew chief or Capt), would be in charge of "scene control" and would attempt to deal with this person. It's where EMTs coined the acronym, "HPFS." I won't say what it stands for as it's "politically incorrect," but if you know... you know.
The importance of good "scene control" can't be emphasized enough. One early evening, we arrived on scene to a "code" (Cardiac Arrest). It was about 7:25pm, ET. Things were getting a bit cray-cray but not as bad as the above scenario. Off to work the EMTs went, administering CPR ("1 and 2 and 3 and 4, ").etc. etc Well. in all the confusion, no one had remembered to turn off the TV. And what is it that plays on the TV at 7:25p ET? What else? "Final Jeopardy."
All of a sudden, the "compressor" looks up and sees everyone else (including the "demand valve person" looking at him. And then it dawns on him (and the other EMTs) that he's doing his compressions to the tune of "Final Jeopardy!" So now, we are all in "deep schiznit," because the family members don't realize what's going on and we can't laugh about it.... not one snicker! We had to stay professional! And since one of the family members had to ride with us to the hospital, we still couldn't laugh about it. We had to wait until we had cleared the ER, get back into the rig and drive over to a remote section of the hospital parking lot and then just lost it for a half hour. It was like Beavis and Butthead's "Sex Education" episode.
Moral of the story: Turn the $*@*$@#(*$ TV off when you enter a scene!!!
I tell our new guys they are coming out of Fire Academy and Paramedic school knowing just enough to be dangerous. Learn from the veteran guys. The best ones we have are AWLAYS calm.
That is not your wife having that baby. That is not your dad having a heart attack. That is not your house on fire. It is our job to show up and solve problems. And you can't solve any problems if you get emotional. Because you stop thinking.
And yes, you will learn we have a fucked up sense of humor. We have to in order to survive this.
The money I spent on slot cars in the late 90's early 2000's.....I do wish this would make a come back.
Precisely. You just got your "learner's permit." One really needs to "aprentice" with more experienced workers. One might learn how to start IV's "clinically" in a hospital setting, but no one except an experienced Paramedic can show you how to do it in the back of a rolling bumping Type 3 rig!
And that's why, for example, the highest EVAC priority in a major disaster is any injured co-worker. You got to get them outta there because everyone else will continue to worry about them and not focus on the scenario. You might think it's the most severely injured person, but it really is the co-worker if it comes down to one or the other. If you can get both out together, then great, but otherwise.... At least, remove them from the main AO so the other workers can concentrate.
Absolutely! It's just bad form to "express it" in front of the recently deceased's family. (PM to follow shortly).
