So I got hired on as a volunteer EMT with Ivins earlier this year. Every shift I worked nothing ever happened... I slept all night. That may sound like a good thing, but I wanted something to happen.
After about 12 shifts, I FINALLY got my first call!! I'm at home in my PJ shorts and a t-shirt. The pager starts beeping and I'm so excited! I can't see straight. I run from the kitchen to my room and listening to the pager and getting dressed were so hard to do at the same time. Luckily Christi was there cause she helped me out a lot!
They give me the address and I'm freaking out! How am I gonna find it? The dispatcher repeats the address and states it's the Tri Mart gas station (the only gas station in Ivins by the way). I don't even remember hearing that because I am not functioning from excitement. In the meantime... I still don't have my pants on. Christi reminds me to put my pants on.... I forgot to button them up tho and I just threw on my boots and forgot socks.
I get on scene... and I have beat the ambulance there! All that rush and freaking out and I can't believe I beat the ambulance there. Something I'll always remember. Definitely funny... I wish there would have been a camera on me because it would have been hilarious to watch!

Ewww!
So ever since I decided to blog about all the stories I have, my mind went blank! I seriously can't think of any... I have been asking around people I'm always telling stories to and for some reason everyone remembers this one story... I'm warning you now it's kinda nasty so if you have a weak stomach stop reading.... I really have no idea why people remember this one, but whatever right?
I was working for Dr. Nelson at the time (OB/GYN). This lady came in for what she thought was a cyst in the vaginal area. Well I am in assisting Dr. Nelson thinking we are going to be draining a cyst... Well he takes a look and it is a HUGE ingrown hair! gross! Dr. Nelson just barely touched it to get a sense of how big it was and it POPS right in his face! Dr. Nelson just asks for a paper towel very calmly and proceeds to drain it.
After we walk out of the room Dr. Nelson goes into the other room and scrubs his face for a very long time. I couldn't believe he was as calm as he was the whole time cause pretty sure if that was me I wouldn't have stayed that calm. Dr. Nelson goes on with his day and a couple hours later he comes out of that room just laughing and asks me to come with him... I go in the room and he points out that there is puss all over the wall that was behind him!! Not only had it gotten Dr. Nelson it went about 4 feet behind and was from the ceiling to the floor! Pretty nasty, but made a funny story. :)
