31st October

-
I'm bringing the picture of the day project for October to a close with a visit to the lovely Coombe Country Park. It's about 5 miles outside of town and completely worth the drive/bike/bus ride. I'm sure the time of year had something to do with winning me over. The park has a huge abbey where you can stay the night or get married, or both. In fact, I saw two brides, and I was only there a couple of hours. There were a lot of other people enjoying the park today, allowing me to feel entirely safe. There was also a food stand, donkey rides, and possibly the greatest playground I've seen. It was like a ropes course for kids, awesome.
Strictly speaking I wasn't allowed to ride my bike down their tree lined, smooth, beautiful, perfect paths. But I did anyway. It was awesome, and it turns out that the crap bike likes trails!
So, happy Halloween, and I hope you enjoyed the pics.

Well, Well, Well

Well, well, well, well, well.  I think 5 wells are enough.   I haven't blogged in over a year.  I am only here because facebook reminded me that my blogiversary was this week.   I even took the picture a day away from the blog and did it on Instagram in 2021.  HOW DISLOYAL! I spent this last year getting my feet wet in urgent care.  What a mixed bag of a career path.  Why not blog about all the crazy things I've seen?  I'm not sure.  One reason is I have a constant fear of HIPPA violations while working within my community.  Don't worry, I do have a list of funny things that have happened written down that I should entertain you with.   I would like to blog again as I've learned is that I need a creative outlet.  I need a stress relief.  I need a project.  I had (self diagnosed) depression earlier this winter as the covid positivity rate in my practice went from acceptable to probably 80-90% and I canceled all social activities and holidays.   How did I get my mojo

Dueling Blogs

I have the immense privilege to be sitting right across from Maddog Medic in the flesh. We aren't speaking, though he is listening to me. Want to solve this riddle? He is transcribing an interview he did with me for his blog at this very moment. And I too am blogging at this very moment! How crazy?! I am stationed this week at the EMS today conference to stock up on professional wheelings and dealings and learn some stuff. This is a wonderful conference full of networking and new products and I learned already that one dose of glucagon costs $130. That's out of control! I cannot wait to catch up on disaster literature and EMS tricks of the trade and get as many free pens as I can at the expo tomorrow.  As for now, I'm headed to a class on smart stuff and pediatric breathing problems.  I am surrounded by EMS nerds and I love it! I spent the day learning about things above my pay grade such as how to read a chest x-ray and how to differentiate between subarachnoi
