O/T Cool day at work

[EMSjunkie]

I don't get to work on cool stuff like Tony and Sean and some of
the rest of you folks, but sometimes I get to do some really cool stuff
at work. Today was one of those days.
delivered a baby girl this morning about 7:45 am  
somewhere on I-40 between Georgia street and Coulter street.
Mom had been in labor about an hour before calling EMS.
she weighed 6 lbs 9 oz.
about 19 inches long.
cord was wrapped once around the neck, luckily not too tight.

Mom and baby are doing fine.

I should quit shaking sometime tomorrow  

only the second field delivery I've had in 17 years as a field Paramedic.


sometimes I got a great job

Buddy what you do is waaaay more important than me working on some steel & aluminum monster.

Sounds pretty cool to me. You made a difference in those peoples lives today.

At one time, I considered EMS as a career, but decided I wouldn't be able to handle it if I had to see somebody I knew mangled up in a car wreck. I have lived in this area for my entire life and the chances of that happening would be pretty high...

Congrats!  I hope that things like this help balance out the other things that people in your postion have to endure...

I feel for the kid. Imagine, nine months in the oven and the first thing she sees when she pops out is your ugly mug.

  It takes a real special person to be an EMT, thanks dude.

LMAO!!
went to the hospital to check on her yesterday.
should be discharged soon. Mom and baby doing well.
Kinda disappointed they didn't name her after me  :?
thats ok. as long as she is healthy, guess I did my job.

This makes up for all the nasty stuff I get to see on a regular basis.
guess every job has its ups and downs.

Congrats.  I understand your feeling as I delivered 3 while with the San Diego County Ambulance Association ...1965-67.  One was as we raised the gurney to go inside at County Hospital ER.  The delivery was "by the numbers" but after I felt sweaty and hot and started shaking.  The guy that trained me had delivered 38 including 2 sets of twins.  Think the docs are getting a lot better because you seldom hear of outside deliveries any more.  It's an experience you'll never forget!  Great Job.  Cal
