New and improved...

Or just me with a new last name. The hiatus got me through leaving the fire department, moving to a completely new state half way across the country and getting married to the man that makes me laugh until I snort. Yes it's the ugly truth people, I snort when I laugh hard. You all still love me anyway, right?

So to make up for my I'm leaving, no I'm not, yes I'm leaving shenanigans, here are a few photos from the wedding.







As much as it may seem, I am not grabbing his goods with my right hand. He just never let go of it so I had no other choice than to look like I'm getting a handful in each and every picture taken at this precise moment. Well, at least now it's "legal" to do so.

As much as I love my new digs elsewhere, I like the familiarity of it over here. I am in quite a conundrum and honestly, my impending trip to the social security office is not really helping me make a decision. I guess I forgot how much of a pain in the butt it is to change your name. I guess I don't mind, he is pretty hot after all. :)

Uh... hi?

My google analytics says people are still stopping by. Is there that high of a demand (heh) for my boring rants and dull ramblings? I can't decide where I like it better. Does anyone really even miss me?

A question and an announcement

First, what in hell is a P5? Can anyone tell me what I should be expecting when that is the dispatch info I get? In my area we don't use 10 codes or any other coding system just plain ol' Chest Pain or Seizure. And for the record P5 sounds a hell of a lot like suicide in the wee hours of the morning.

Also, I'm switching things up. I'm moving out of this here blog and heading out to a new spot where I don't have to log out of my email to comment or write posts. I'm not going to be officially announcing the new address because well, there is some baggage I would like to leave here. I may pop up on your radar in the future, but let's face it, it's not like I am in high demand on the interwebs.

So, until then, Bernice... out.

Missing Out.

Not so long ago I discovered google reader. I know, way behind the times. Well, that has really been an improvement to the amount of time I spend reading blogs. Namely, I can scroll instead of going to favorites and clicking on the next blog I want to read not knowing if there is a new post or not. This is quick and convenient, but I think I miss seeing the layouts of the blogs. Let's face it, I'm very much a visual person and the blogs I read were associated with the layout of the blog. It helped me remember who is who (I read a LOT of blogs) and gave me some insight into personalities. I kind of miss that. With that, my goal for tonight is to go through all daily reading and update my favorites and also my blog-roll here.

So, if you link to me and I don't link to you, leave a comment and I will gladly add you. Also, please hang in there while I beg Tony to assist me in creating a new design for this place that reflects my personality better.

What would you do?

While on a call you observe behavior from an officer that you are not comfortable with. The officer is rude to the patient's family and also physically moves a person to prevent them from walking past the cot while the patient is being moved. This action on the family members part has the potential to cause the cot to become unstable. You do not witness this event.

While en route to the hospital the family member states they would like to file a complaint and provides their recount of the event. You remain neutral and ask if you speaking with the person would be sufficient. They agree.

You ask to speak with the officer and you find that they believe their actions are correct and justified. After hearing their side of the story you still feel uncomfortable with the events and also mention your dissatisfaction with the officer's interaction with the patient's family. The conversation takes a turn and your care of the patient is now brought into question.

What do you do?
