Last year, sometime around summer, I managed to break my Samsung Galaxy S10+ while on paramedic duty. I bent down on the driver's seat because I'd dropped something, forgetting that I had my phone in my chest pocket. Well, besides my phone, I've also kept a pair of scissors inside...

Yesterday I was at my first large  paramedic   training since the beginning of the  pandemic with  Everyone's Favorite Virus™️ . I started around 9 am with a brief introduction to the different stations where we had 30 minutes to complete the  challenge .

The first station for us was training with...

He had good grades in college. Wasn't just one of those  book smart kids, but actually had a decent head. Decent, but not great. He knew he wasn't the type to be able to start his own business and get rich. So he graduated and got a job.

At his job...

It has been a few days since I started tracking my weight and blood pressure in the morning. Yesterday I also started to follow my blood sugar level in the morning, and today I was curious enough to also track it two hours after lunch.

I know so far that my...

On Saturday, I started a 12-hour paramedic shift. As I walked into the standby room, I encountered an emergency doctor I hadn't seen in a while. Right after breakfast, we were called to our first trip, so I couldn't talk much to him, but later on, we got to play...

"The car came from nowhere. I couldn't even hear an engine until it was driving off."

"Maybe it was an electric car? Those things are quiet."

"No. Once it was driving away I could hear the engine. I could hear it from real far away after I couldn't see it anymore."

"So a...

I was just at the test centre to get a COVID PCR Test . I'm not feeling sick, but I needed to board a cruise ship on Saturday in Venice . I will finally enjoy an 8-day vacation on the Mediterranean sea .

I have been looking forward to this since...

One day he felt a sharp pain deep in his stomach. He bared it for three weeks until one humid afternoon while on the metro he collapsed. Two well built paramedic s had to strain themselves in unison to cart his well muscled body to the hospital where the doctor...

Yesterday I was doing a paramedic day shift again. Our first mission brought us to a doctor whose patient had typical signs of a stroke .

The nearest stroke unit is currently closed because of missing personnel due to many COVID19 positive nurses and doctors. So the doctor told us to...

It has been a few weeks since my grandfather died ( Grandfather Yours Truly & A day off (Death and Webhosting inside) Yours Truly ) in contrast to the death of my other grandfather...

Last Saturday I was doing a short paramedic duty. When I was finished I went to my car and wondered why it was telling me that there is low pressure inside the tires.

Since it is winter a low-pressure warning normally isn't something bothering me, because if the temperature is below...

After the  accident (https://adagia.org/content/4005) my paramedic night shift continued to be hellish and without much sleep. A few minutes after we finished cleaning the car I moved into one of the sleeping rooms and sent out a few  email s (https://adagia.org/content/3999) and wrote the linked article.

It wasn't long until we...

Only a few minutes ago I came back from the first mission of the night. As I've written I'm doing a  paramedic night shift and thus it was no wonder that there would be something to do.

We were called into another district because the emergency service in that district was...

I had my freelance business since about 2014 if I remember correctly. It never made much by way of revenue, but it was always good to have something to write an Invoice.

Back then was building the website of a driving school without much knowledge besides basic PHP. The page is...

blood is not far off from  water . 92 percent of blood is made of it. 

In college if he scored a 92 then he got the highest grade point possible. 4 point oh.

So why was it that you could inject h20 into the veins of someone low on blood...
