So, here I am posting on my blog that has now seemed to become weekly rather than daily and so much has happened I am trying to compose my thoughts as I sit here. My last blog ended with the inpending state inspection, they called later that day and canceled due to an emergency investigation. Last week I was in the cool pines of Ruidoso for our annual EMS convention. I sit on the board of directors and I am amazed at the amount of work that goes into this yearly gathering. The staff never ceases to amaze me. I again found time to attend, and sometimes be the life of, several after hours parties. I am certain that I have perminately embarrassed myself beyond redemption but it was fun and relaxing in a rushed sort of way. I did manage not to race down the hills riding the luggage carts this year.
This week I am back at work. I had a message on my machine Monday morning informing me the state would be here early afternoon on Tuesday for the promised inspection. Monday was a bad day, including an arguement with an EMT who flat out said I was not doing my job. I am still mad. He is such an asshole. Tuesday brought the inspection, the state looks at everything from maintanence records to the amount we bill our patients. I must provide physicals for all EMTs. We count supplies in the ambulance, for example, we are bound by law to carry 50 gauze bandages. Really, 50? Is 49 not enough? If 49 is not enough, then why not 51? Anyway, no findings, no violations. Not bad for someone who is not doing their job, right?
Well, here we go into the month of May and I am looking at my schedule. Wow this will be a busy month! I am working two days each week at the hospital plus full time here. Oh well, it will be good.
