Holy crap....< />Monday I fell of a boat onto a concrete floor, bruising everything that moves on my body. Now I read this, and I'm laughing so hard I can catalog every single ache all in one go.< />< />Bwahahaha... ouch Bwahahahah...ouch< />< />Oh, and you made coffee spit out of my nose too. Bad ambulance driver.

I laughed so hard, I woke up my partner! Uh, let me clarify that. He's in the other room napping on the couch while I read blogs and do email. < />< />Is this some sort of new employee boot camp or something? Do you have to salute the FTOs and go push ups? < />< />How long is the bullshit? Uh, I mean in depth orientation. < />< />Gary

Being a medic in your service bears a striking resemblance to prison. Except the titty bars.

Where in this whole shebang was the part where your roomies were peering avidly over your shoulder in abject adoration whilst you chatted with a brilliant, if somewhat eccentric, Farmgirl? < />< />LOL glad you're having fun with the orientation!

Just posted a rumination on my 15 years as a medic. We must be thinking along the same lines, AD. I was LMAO reading the post. Been there, done that!

Been reading your blog. This was a great one. As an FTO I get to pick on the new guys. Actually got my last trainee to search the whole base during a snowstorm to find wax and wax the truck. He was so into finding the wax he even got one of our clueless supervisors to help him look.

Awesome stuff Buddy,< />< />I'm in school on-line learning to write just like you! G'Luck with the new gig. Been so busy I haven't been around and just wanted to say hello.< />< />Hello.< />< />How did the SC symposium go? You see any talent here, or has the incompetence I hear on the radio at Urgent Scare due to the prol, prelif, polaf, number; of large companies watered it down even more. What happened AD? When did we loose it?< />< />I remember tubing with one hand and eating a burger with the other. (Slight exaggeration- had to put the burger down to pick up the tube!) 4 units for a whole county and 1500+ calls a month. 34% of which were advanced! You were good or you were out!< />< />I can't handle the new movement so I've bailed and am going over to the other side. Yep- Management! I know I know, I'm going to try to be "the advocate for who are right!" Going for my BS- Healhtcare Menstuation, on-line. So far, so good.< />< />ni, ni!< />< />Congrats on the weight loss, slow and steady Freddy. Hope you are feeling physically the results of losing the book bag or a mini me off of your person already!< />< />Later AD,< />< />J

Oh, the young and innocent days! I had to laugh- had my own indoctrination to the real world of medicine in my first days too. Its ironic that as you post this one- the EMS crew at the college at which I now work is doing their orientation for the new class- oh to be so young and carefree again- not a million years old and jaded!

My husband worked for RM in the 90's. Bought stock in the company as part of the *benifits* of working there. He had about $350 worth then,, not long after he quit, the stock plummeted and now it's worth about $30. lol Good luck with the stock option thing. IF it still exists.
