Bike ride-up the hill to EMT

Today I was helping the new EMT students study for their final test. Heidi suggested a bike ride to get up to Mammoth. I hadn't done that hill before but it seemed like a good idea. I arrived hot, sweaty, ready to puke, and about 15 minutes late. It was glorious.

On the way down. I got trapped by a herd of bison that extended on both sides of the road. Luckily, some folks from the training (Angie and Nick) stopped by in their truck and were able to get me through. Only in Yellowstone...

Fun with moulage

My first EMS run

So, I can't really talk about the person or the incident, but my first run happened in February of 2012. I got a text around 3:30 asking if I wanted to go on a run. I thought, I'm not doing anything else, sure, why not. What I didn't realize, was that I'd be riding a bus past Norris (we don't have any oversnow ambulances so we were lucky that one of the concessionaires would lend us one), then riding it back with the patient, transferring the patient to a road ambulance, and then riding 50 miles up the road to Livingston. It was interesting. And a long day.
