"Tunnel Vision"

I promised Nancy I wouldn't talk about it, and I won't.  We had a helluva day.  A great save.  I got to see the dank underbelly of San Francisco.  I helped my partner, instead of her carrying my ass for a change.  And I got to do a pretty amazing intubation.  That's all there is to it.  The rest of it doesn't matter because, at the end of the day, who doesn't have flaws?  Knowing Nancy's somehow makes her more human in my eyes now.  It's a good thing.

But I have to say... if we had a "helluva day," then Rabbit had the day from hell.  We only crawled around in the sewers for a couple hours.  He had to work on people with a gun to his head.  Everybody's talking about it.

I can't believe he had to watch someone get shot right in front of him.  I'd fucking lose it.  People are saying it was his fault.  I don't understand the reasoning behind that one.  They sent him into the bank to do his job - to be a medic - to treat people.  And he did.  He didn't give the order or pull the trigger.  But they're saying it was his fault.

And now he's suspended.  I feel for the guy.  I know he's never been my biggest fan and he's been one of the ones to give me the most s*** as a probie, but he's an awesome medic.  He doesn't deserve this.

But you have to admit - the guy always lands on his feet.  He got the girl!  Him and Nancy.  It's official.  Which means, it's definitely time for me to move on.  There's no denying soulmates.  And those two, in their own messed up way, are perfect together, don't you think?

Well, that's it for now.  Don't go exploring the sewers.  Take it from someone who knows... it's really nasty down there.

Pace a voi.

    This is the blog I hoped I'd never have to write.  I don't like talking about my sister.  Sometimes, quite honestly, we pretend she died years ago.  It's easier to cope with.  But it's also a cop-out.  She deserves better... Read More >

    Thanksgiving. Seems like it's synonymous with hearth and home for most people. Except for a few of the curmudgeons I work with. I mean, I get where Nancy's coming from. Family dynamics can get pretty screwed up. When you... Read More >

  • "That Fragile Hour"

    I've really stepped in it. I took this job thinking that street medicine could not possibly be a den of political B.S. Apparently I was wrong. I'm no boy scout. Let me just make that clear. I've traveled. I've... Read More >

    What the hell is wrong with me? I almost killed my partner on the way to a routine call and then... I'm such an asshole. I thought I might be able to help... help fix whatever was bothering her -... Read More >

    I sure hope Day of the Dead is better than All Hallows' Eve. There really wasn't anything "hallowed" about today. Just screwed up. I see why Nancy hates this holiday so much. I mean the Irish part of me is... Read More >

    So I told Nancy about Street Medicine tonight. Didn't go over well. And I don't think it was because she didn't like the title. What do you think? But I was serious - she would make a great character when... Read More >

    Shit. My hands are still shaking from today. I'm really starting to understand how some medics see their patients as nothing more than just meat. It's how they get through days like this. We started the day working on... Read More >
