If you were driving through a certain southwest Louisiana city yesterday morning at 0650 and saw a Borg ambulance parked next to a wrecked Chevy Lumina in the middle of an elementary school playground, and there was a heroically dashing paramedic-type guy pulling an old lady from her car…
…after noticing that she had no pulse and had undoubtedly wrecked her car after she suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, and the heroic paramedic type, while working with three stupid and utterly useless eager but inept firefighters and a partner he had never worked a code with before…
…still managed to defibrillate the lady three times, get her intubated, an intraosseous line in place, give a round of Epi and Atropine, and wind up with a very-much-alive little old lady, complete to spontaneous movement and adequate breathing, all in a scene time of less than ten minutes…
…yeah, that was me.
I’m getting fitting for a cape and a new spandex uniform tomorrow.
