i worked about 8hrs in the morning shift, went to see Doom with “the rock”, and am now at station 15 covering until 5am, on the wireless modem just browsing here. its kind of slow, as the bars havent let out yet.
it’s friday night and invariably someone (a patient) on my shift is going to die. probably a car wreck on drunk driver, a shooting possibly too. any way you look at it and i am going to have to try to put someone back together, and miserably fail.
when i talk to a priest about it, they just kind of give me a blank look. they seem to have no idea what i am talking about. the most qualified people to help with CISD or job stress arent usually, if at all Catholic. and if i did find one itd probably be in montanna or somewhere far away.
-im tired of having to rescue people hurt or killed by drunk drivers. -im tired of having to treat abused women, men and children.
-ive had 3 gunshot wounds to the head in 5 weeks, and im sick of looking at brain matter
-federal money that was supposed to pay for new types of knifeproof AND better bulletproof vests rolled-in-one got cut.
-intelligence given to us suggests that armor piercing rounds are circulating higher than ever before. (see above concern)
-the regimen of antiboitics of Cipro, tetracycline, and vaccines i had to get after goint to/getting back from Katrina had to come out of MY pocket until the Feds decide to reimburse me.
-guess who’s on the DMAT list first and foremost to go to Wilma?
im thinking of moving to barbados and just becoming a lifeguard at a sunny, quiet beach resort. i think i need some encouragement as to why i should stay doing what i am doing. i know we are called to “take up our cross”, but sheesh, does than include armor piercing rounds?
