So there we were - my FTO, another new employee, and the patient. During the interview/assessment, the patient said that he had chest pain, but couldn't remember the name of the disease.
My FTO spoke up and said "Oh, Vag.... I mean angina?"
Only a few of us standing around picked up on it, but we were all thinking the same thing... You dirty old man, we know where your mind is.
On another note - I am done with my training! After only 12 of the normal 16 shifts in the first county, and only 8 of 16 in the second county, I've been kicked loose and am headed back to the first county, my own ambulance and a permanent partner.
And apparently my favorite ED physician back on the coast misses me. I heard from my former supervisor who said: The next time Dr. Gxxxxxxxx mentions your name, I am going to explain to him that it is unrealistic to expect the entire Chicago Bulls team to perform like Michael Jordan... so forget about receiving "RevMedic" type of paramedicine from the rank and file of our medics. :)
So, in the spirit of things, here's a bumper sticker for the coastal ambulances:

ahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Except I said it first, and you know it. tee
hee!
