So It Was Like This…

No, this isn’t a post about how to explain the damage you did to the ambulance bay to your EMS Director.

That’s another post for another day. 

Let’s just say that Epi has issues when it comes to backing up an ambulance.

ANYWAY…

So… It was like this….

I was drinking my coffee and perusing the aisles of my favorite book store looking for a book on crocheting patterns nursery rhymes ways to barbecue baby duck a study guide for the NREMT-P test when I came across a book with a name that I found familiar….

And I might have had a fangirl moment for a second.  I might have, if I didn’t know the guy.

It was kind of cool though :)

If you have a passion for EMS (or know someone who does) consider picking up a current version  of Ambulance Driver‘s/Kelly’s book. You can pick it up here, and it has a story about an ostrich that has haunted my dreams for a couple of years now.

*Shiver* Ostriches.

Be safe out there ya’ll.

And avoid the ostrich.

    I own the old version, and I just picked up the new version for my preceptor as a “thanks for teaching me cool shit” kinda gift.

    Also has a fanboy moment when I saw it at Barnes and Noble, and I don’t even know the guy.

    By the way, favorite character in the book? It’s a toss up between “Randy-Girl” and Lasson, the farting partner.

    GREAT STUFF.

    I ‘liked’ the ostrich story… :-) And it is definitely worth reading, as it DOES tell the truth…

    You guys forget about the story in which Mickey Sanders gets chewed out by the trooper- laughed till I cried over that one- I just don’t get ostrich’s- the only place for an ostrich is at the zoo behind a 30 ft fence and that’s that! and yes, I know I’m weird but oh well!
