Ok, so you know what I'm talking about. Not nearly enough money. Especially when you consider:
-I got a super close encounter with an active TB patient (he decided to spit in my face AND bite me)...so I was on isoniazid for almost a year
-organophosphate poisoning from an elderly lady making her own bug spray and fertilizer in her house. She was dead when we got there. We were dispatched on a "sick". She never mentioned WHY she was sick....so we were all standing around breathing the stuff in the house. Poor lil ol lady. BUT I FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE. O-well. Got me off work for a week.
-aaannnnd there was the time I was stuck on the broken elevator with a psycho. Maybe you heard/read about it. The crazy guy trying to murder the police officer? It happened almost 2 years ago, but I was in court over it...again, maybe 3 months ago.
-My ambulance was infested with fleas on a fun, summer shift. It sucks walking around covered in flea bites while you are sweating ur ass off in tha summer.
-Plus, there was the time I had a head injury and a broken arm....at the same time. Good tymes.
BUT I signed up for it. It was all my choice and I am still glad for the time I have spent doing my job.
I vote the Karma go to Val. No contest.
