Went to a double shooting tonight. This is the second one I’ve been on. We were told that it was safe to approach, but really it wasn’t. There were people everywhere and PD wasn’t doing much to help.

Then at the end of shift, when I was backing the truck up, she makes a rude...
So you know that expression ‘they have a stick up their butt?’ Well it was a pencil. At least that’s what happened to one of our patients. Poor thing. He’s 15 years old and went to sit at his desk at school. As he was sitting down a classmate put a pencil under his bottom and he sat on it. I felt so bad for him. When we got the call I figured it was either another kid...
