Finally Updating

Ok, so I finally got a few minutes that I wasn't falling asleep as soon as my tush hit the couch so I thought I'd update. Well... lots of goings on. For those who didn't already read or know, I recently transferred to the Emergency Room here at Fort Campbell from working at the WTU. Let me tell you it is crazy hectic and there is always something knew. I am learning new stuff everyday on top of the stuff Combat Medics (me) are already required to know. I can't tell you how many times a day I draw blood and start IV's in from infants to the elderly.
Most days tend to blend into another just because of the speed and "hectic-ness" of it all. One day that didn't was and probably never will was my first day. Ahh... the first day... So I was practicing an IV on one of our NCO's and we've backtracked the incident and still to this day are not entirely sure of what happened...Anyway I was withdrawing the needle and holding pressure when BAM! the blood literally shot out like in the movies and sprayed the front our my uniform and badge. I quickly stopped it and got a new top but have not lived down the stigma and nickname " Doc Vampire" to this day.
More to Come!
