Then they did it wrong.
The first time I saw the team in the ER crack a guys chest was eye opening to say the least. It’s been over 30 years but the memory is still fresh. It made me wonder if I had made the right career decision.
I wish that was the worst visual of my career.
Nothing would surprise anyone with the vax. Nobody knows what is in it or how it reacts in humans.
Then they did it wrong.
It is awful stuff. Sometimes my friends and I would discuss it. We all had horror stories to share.
I thought the job would be about intubating people, or putting them on BiPAP. I never really thought that I would be splattered with blood and watching young persons dying while I was ambuing them, but that was often the case as it worked out.
I was not raised to do such things. I was a guy who was trying to figure out Square Roots and diagramming sentences. Somehow I found myself standing at the head of beds with Cops watching, and young Physicians yelling out orders for Etomidate, Succynicholade or however you spell those meds.
Pharmacology is not my forte.’
Watching those ribs being shredded with shears is rather grotesque stuff.
Well, we go to the Trauma Rooms with the skills that we have. I had my own area of expertise. I saw a lot, and I rarely ever discuss it with any one. Out here though, I care to make it evident that I am no bull shitter.
