Our mothers seem the same, I have been in Emergancy services for 10 years. I still recive other job postings, or at least ones closer to home! I'm 400 miles, to my mom I'd might as well be in china! Ironically my mother posted this and that's why I read it. Funny I have to tell you, I completely understand. Our mothers seem the same, I have been in Emergancy services for 10 years.

Terrible hours. Working conditions from so-so to terrible. Now-and-then nightmares. What a wonderful job. Thank you for doing it. It's not just your Mother who is proud of you. Bad pay.

A lot fo times, we have learned we have a larger stock than our suppliers. We just learned Toradol is no longer available (at least in the concentration we carry).

Morphine...we had to switch from 10mg/ml to 8mg/ml for a while, now we've got the 10s back...

Two blocks from our helipad there was an auto shop with a good mechanic named Bill. We could drop our cars off with him and he'd fix them, then drive them to us for payment. Every time he showed up at our base he was drunk, but this only happened when his work was done. One day one of our local cops stopped by for coffee and started the conversation with "I suppose you heard the story about Bill?" "No, what about Bill?" "He committed suicide. Walked into his back yard and put a .357 against the roof of his mouth." Bill had uncontrollable migraines and couldn't take 'em anymore. I can't imagine that kind of hopelessness. It's sad, but we both know sometimes there are things worse than dyin'. Well done, gal.

Our Diversion Supervisor saw the shortages coming and made arrangements to carry alternate concentrations if need be. There is no shortage of meds, just a shortage of the dosaging we've become accustomed to. Imagine making your own 1:10,000 at the bedside for example. We may be heading that route. And possible paying more than 88 cents for D50. Have you read the letter Setla posted? Nice to see you writing again BTW. Nope.
