A Day In The Life Of An Ambulance Driver: Make Sure You Allow The Exhaust Pipe To Cool A Bit First…

    Must be a denominational thing.< />< />You "baptize".< />< />I've "christened".< />< />(Well, not an ambulance. Every vehicle I owned up until I met my wife, who doesn't believe in sex after marriage...)

    Wow. Can we count this as one of those items that I could have lived the rest of my life without having pictured?< />< />Sex with an ambulance, I mean.

    Hahahahaha!< />< />Young health care love! So sweet. I've just gotten into compulsively examining my site meter hits, too. Some people are wacky.< />< />I am glad to report that it is nearly impossible to search anything related to gas staion burritos without finding me. Even "gay stories battered pecs" somehow finds me (that's just something I don't want to imagine). Ah, and the beautiful "lysosome poems" do too!< />< />I wonder if that guy's second search, for "ambulance porn" found you, too!

    Note: The velcro straps that are on the IV hooks (the ones intended to keep the bag from swaying) are NOT strong enough to support a female EMT's ankles.

    Hmmm, well, the sitemeter hit came from Morocco. I guess it's old hat to be searching for "Fez Fucking."

    I've heard that footprints on the patient compartment ceiling confuse the HELL out of supervisors.< />< />(No, seriously, I did HEAR it. I never had the balls to so much as put a 2x2 out of place in that dude's truck, nevermind have a three-way in it.)

    in one of our ambulance stations, and I was literally on duty every minute I was not physically present in paramedic class. If I wanted a social life, it happened at the station. < />< />Stations don't count, do they?
  • born_yesterday · 2 years ago

    I have a story for you. < />< />Last winter I turned the defroster on in one of our first responder trucks (pick ups manned by a paramedic, they roam around and help us as needed), anyway, the defroster revealed a footprint on the windshield. BUSTED!
  • Ambulance Driver · 2 years ago
    "...anyway, the defroster revealed a footprint on the windshield. BUSTED!"< />< />Emmy:< />< />Get. Out. Of. My. Head.< />< />The exact same thing happened to me last year, in one of our ambulances. A perfect pair of dainty bare footprints on the windshield.< />< />I spent the next week staring at the feet of our female EMTs, wondering...
  • JeRRTep · 2 years ago

    BATON ROUGE, La., October 1, 2007 – Applicants to The Road Home program must schedule their initial appointments by December 1, 2007, program officials announced today. All appointments must be completed by December 15, 2007.< />< />The Road Home program requires applicants to complete an appointment with a program housing advisor. Homeowners who do not schedule this appointment by December 1 and complete it by December 15 will be considered ineligible to receive assistance from the program.< />< />Appointments are available at eleven Housing Assistance Centers across Louisiana and in Houston. Applicants who live out of state may conduct a telephone appointment and complete an application packet through the mail. However, program managers strongly encourage homeowners to conduct appointments in-person if at all possible. This will help expedite the processing of the homeowner’s application. These applicants must still call to schedule this telephone appointment no later than Dec. 1, and all materials must be returned by Dec. 15.< />< />“It is critical that applicants complete their first appointments by December 1 to move forward in The Road Home process,”said Michael Taylor, director of the Disaster Recovery Unit, Office of Community Development. “Anyone who has applied to the program must complete this appointment in order to receive an award.”< />< />Applicants who have yet to schedule their first appointments must do so by calling 1.888.762.3252. TTY callers use 711 relay. Appointment times will be based on availability. Applicants are encouraged to call as soon as possible to schedule their appointments. Advisory Service appointments (follow up appointments) will still be available after the Dec. 15 deadline.< />< />The Road Home program is designed to provide compensation to Louisiana homeowners affected by Hurricane Katrina or Rita for the damage to their homes. This groundbreaking program represents the largest single housing recovery program in U.S. history. Working together, Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, the Louisiana Recovery Authority and the Office of Community Development created The Road Home program with the approval of the Louisiana Legislature. The program affords eligible homeowners up to $150,000 in compensation for their losses to get back into their homes.
