The tones rang out
18 month old choking
a blur to get to the ambulance
Emergency medical tunnel vision
can't find the street in the map book
can't think about anything
but how to fix a choking child
a kid that I may never get to
I can't find the fucking address!
Someone else knows where to go
The pt is the Lt's grandaughter.
I am the lead medic.
I about shit my pants.
She was fine.
But I failed.

WOW... this is such a tear jerker russ.
Hi, lead medic. Glad you didn't embarrass yourself with a trouser-related bottom incident.
Good to see this blog is still up and running - haven't been here for a while.
Guess I should find something to put up...
Watch this space!
