The Post which Had to be Carried Away

Wow it has been a really fast month!





It's a flash and May is nearly over. I've already been enjoying myself at the ambulance bay for a month now. It seems like a looong holiday!

Bad thing is that, I've missed out quite a number of events this month because of my duty schedule, cutting into 4 out of 8 days of weekends.

For example, the rest are celebrating Wanqi's and Fangyi's birthdays (best wishes folks!) whereas I'm, well, predictably in camp with nothing much to do.





Good news is that the schedule for next month is out!

It's now changed into a two day work-two day off schedule, which is pretty awesome. Except if you count I'd have a weekend TOTALLY BURNT.

Other than that, the forecast has been very kind to me, with those precious few days off when I want it. Haha.





Speaking of duties, I had my first real emergency activation the other day.

It was early in the morning at 7:30am, and I was comfortably snuggling in my bed, having dreams of what to do when I go my Friday off. A knock on the door woke me up.

I was thinking, "Wow my duty handover is pretty early today!"

Instead it was the medic. "Eh driver send case. Quick, emergency."

Wah, okay time to rush.





Changed, grabbed my keys and chionged out. First time I drove the ambulance with all lights and sirens blaring. Funny how alert you can be with adrenaline rushing through your head, when less than 5 minutes ago you were sound asleep.

It was about 8am when we rushed to the hospital. Everyone was starting to get to work, and I could feel a good many pair of eyes staring as my ambulance sped past.

And it was also the first time I see so many vehicles giving way to me. Awesome! Haha.

But a good thing was that the casualty was alright in the end. So no harm done.




So it's a start of new month by Monday so enjoy the June holidays everyone!
