A Day In The Life Of An Ambulance Driver: Happy Blogiversary To Me

  • Harriet · 1 year ago
    Congrats on the anniversary!
  • Epijunky · 1 year ago
    Congratulations, AD. < />< />You were the first EMS blog I stumbled across, and I've loved the journey you've taken us on for the last two years.< />< />To many years more.< />< />Thank you.
  • Christina LMT · 1 year ago
    Congrats, AD! Keep on writing and we'll keep on reading.
  • Evil Transport Lady · 1 year ago
    Happy day to you! Your blog also started my interest in all things EMS blog related! Keep up the great writting!
  • Rogue Medic · 1 year ago
    Congratulations.< />< />I suppose TOTWTYTR, Mule Breath, and I are some of your blog grandchildren. :-)
  • Matt M · 1 year ago
    Only two years? Seems like I have been visiting you daily for longer than that.< />< />Congratulations! Please don't burn out on us. We need you.
  • Dr. StrangeGun · 1 year ago
    Heh, funny thing is, if I'd been medicated in school I might actually *be* "Doctor" Strangegun by now. < />< />No poor impulse control, no disruption, just a complete and utter, no, TOTAL inability to focus on bookwork that honestly follows through to today. For someone who's supposed to be smurt, that 2.8GPA I tried so damned hard to keep sure doesn't reflect it.< />< />And the capcha is "valvings". So apt.
  • Jay G · 1 year ago
    Holy Crap, congrats AD!!!< />< />Two years. It seems like much longer than that we've been graced with your light.< />< />Or something like that.< />< />Let's go shootin'!
  • MonkeyGirl · 1 year ago
    You're the best. End of story.< />< />My word verification is "phyllato". Sounds like a cross between "fellatio" and "phyllo".< />< />Gives new meaning to the filling in puff pastries.
  • Ambulance Mommy · 1 year ago
    Hey, happy anniversary!!!! Somehow i found your blog through the EMS related stuff, and I've been hooked ever since. Great stuff!! I hope you keep going for many more years!
  • TOTWTYTR · 1 year ago
    Two years! It seems like a mere 730 days ago. Two years and how many offended snurses, overimportant doctors, ambulance service managers, and would be EMS experts? I for one have lost count, but I haven't stopped enjoying watching the pompous amongst us nursing their bruised egos. < />< />Keep it up.

    Happy Blogiversary!
  • Lisa · 1 year ago
    AD,< />< />First of all congrats on the anniversary! and second of all I love this post-somehow I missed it the first time around! Third, I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed the blog-just so you know-I've almost gotten in trouble more times than I care to admit over the hysterical laughter-not to mention scaring everyone with the tears with some of your more tender posts! < />< />Your blog was also one of the first I ever read! and let me tell you- its a riot! :) < />< />Keep up the good work! You are so talented! And thank you for sharing your life with us humble folk!
  • BobG · 1 year ago
    W00t! Congratulations!
  • Recovering Grady Addict · 1 year ago
    CONGRATS!!!< />< />And thank you for the witty writing, comic and even sometimes educational moments!< />< />Hope to check in with you soon.< />< />And my capcha is UNITYRIG... does that indicate I have to get along with my EMT's now? Damn.... (pouting)
  • MiniKat · 1 year ago
    Congrats on your mile marker! Loved reading your first post again. I'm with you... the ADHD and PMDD bull*&%t is way over rated. I'm off to find some chocolate now...no hyperactive child to beat. ;-)
  • fuzzys dad · 1 year ago
    Congratulations.
  • Phoebe · 1 year ago
    Congrats! I'm hooked, that's for sure!
  • Life on Pause · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the laughs AD! Keep them coming!
  • Whole Hog · 1 year ago
    You may not think you're a great writer, but your writing's the reason I keep reading your stuff. Congratulations on doing it for two years.
  • A Medical Type Person · 1 year ago
    Congratulations! I really enjoy your stuff! Please keep it coming! Some days, I really need the humor that you provide. You've got a gift and thank you for sharing it!
  • Linda · 1 year ago
    Congrats AD< />< />You are a great writer and I really enjoy reading them all.< />< />Awhile back you promised us another 3-part post with 2 of your fellow bloggers. I'm hoping you will still do it.
  • Farmgirl · 1 year ago
    As a wee little blogger of only one and a half years... (cripes am I really only six months behind you?? Doesn't seem possible) I've been addicted to your wit, humor, and absolute disregard for the so called conventions of writing since the start. < />< />You know you're one of my blog idols, AD. Totally aside from me wanting to kidnap you for a month and hole up in a cabin to write together, any time you have something to tell us... I'm listening.< />< />And in the vein of reporting capchas... mine is stophor.< />< />I think your blog just called me a whore....
  • bigdaddyb · 1 year ago
    Your blogiversary is an even greater celebration for us, your readers. < />< />As the father of one ADD child and one Asperger's/Tourette's child, you're not offending me at all. Both of said offspring know how to behave in ALL social situations. Their tolerance for those who use their 'diagnoses' as a behavioral carte blanc is as non-extant as their father's.< />< />I'm not quite so articulate as to use the term 'hickory deprivation'. I simply refer to ADHDNAW as the obvious diagnosis. Translated? He/she may have ADHD, but definitely Needs Ass Whoopin.
  • Granimore · 1 year ago
    Congratulations on your anniversary. On the topic of unusual medical conditions, what is the deal with "Restless Leg Syndrome." The first commercial I saw, I swear I thought I was watching some parody ad, like on SNL.
  • Tom Reynolds · 1 year ago
    Congratulations!< />< />(coupled with 'Blimey! has it really been that long?')
  • LL · 1 year ago
    I'll call ya out, you bastid!! I'm still waiting to hear why the bitchy partner got canned. Don't make me come over there and crack a cat o' nine tails on your ass!! I vaguely recall some hints about trying to throw you under the bus? It's been so long...shit, I'll have grandkids by the time you get to it.< />< />Oh, and happy blogiversary.
  • virtualquilter · 1 year ago
    My word verification is 'fockli' which is a word which will find it's way into conversation one day soon.< />I found your blog by luck, best luck in the last few months, and I haven't got back to that first entry yet, so you have saved me the trouble. Still got a fair bit of reading to go, and I am enjoying the ride. Congratulations and thank you.
  • Mrs. Who · 1 year ago
    Thank you for what you've given us! (And I'm not talking about the stuff you need penicillin for, either!)
  • njmedic1485 · 1 year ago
    Happy anniversary AD, and here's to many more. < />bob
  • TheRedHead Who Reads · 1 year ago
    Hey AD, congrats!! That's wonderful. I've been reading your blog for perhaps a year and a half now and it's on my Must Read list daily. < />< />Sometimes I've laughed so hard, I've cried. Other times I've cried and felt the pain you shared with us all. < />< />You've definitely got a gift of storytelling, making us come back for more and that's rare to find these days. May your inspiration keep you going because really good stories are hard to find and greatly appreciated. < />< />Thanks for deciding to do this blog - it's one of the best I've seen.
  • Snigglefrits · 1 year ago

    Congrats AD!
  • Bob@thenest · 1 year ago
    Congrats on the anniversary, AD, and now that it's a couple minutes into the 25th heree, Merry Christmas, too!
  • Mule Breath... · 1 year ago
    Dos anos, eh? Sounds like a tequila brand. Might be some correlation there. I swear you must be flying on some psychoactive to come up with some of the mierda you print. < />< />You're a gem, AD, and a keeper. Proud to call you friend. Happy Christmas from this godless pinko.< />< />[oh, maybe you could get me MonkeyGirl's number...eh?... Buddy?...]
  • Recovering Grady Addict · 12 months ago
    < />< />Yeah.. I know it took a while. But I don't have the fame or notariety you do. Gimmie a break!
  • Wyatt Earp · 12 months ago
    Congratulations, A.D. You have earned our respect, gratitude, and every single visitor.
  • JeRRTep · 12 months ago
    Hey, your post cracks me up!! It took me 34 years to get a physician to diagnose me with ADHD/ADD. Several doctors I went to in the past kept diagnosing me with Depression and forced upon me drugs that would keep me zombified...I finally told the last physician that he could stick his lousy diagnosis you know where!< />< />It would be another 3 years before I went to another physician about my problems...< />< />The right doctor came along and explained to me that I'm a lazy person with a hyperactive brain..< />but, because I live in Jefferson County Missouri, people look at my address and assume that I am looking for meth ingredients...L..O..F'n..L...< />< />Adderall helps me a little, but I'm not speeding around and often, I forget to make appointments to refill my adderall...< />< />Its not so easy getting an ADHD diagnosis around here, if you're a parent of a child and you bring up the subject of ADHD testing, the physicians around here suspect you want the drug for yourself...< />< />have fun< />kT
