Does "Sorta quit" count?

Yep, if you didn't guess from the title, I caved.
I was doing pretty good until class Monday night. Had a pretty stressful ride in to class, blah blah blah, excuses excuses, and I bummed a few over the course of the night.
Then today went good for most of the day. Got home from driving the cheese box (school bus), jumped in the shower, and halfway through someone knocked on the door and told me that VO was looking for coverage for the overnight, so I came in.

I made it until about 22:15. We were on our way back from a cancelled call and I stopped and picked up a pack. Shame on me, I know. I suck. I'm not gonna make plans or excuses about why I did it or how I'll restrict myself. I'm just gonna do what I can and I'll let you know how I did, how's that sound?

It's snowing! We pulled out for our call and it was snowing pretty good. I doubt it'll last though.
The call turned out to be nothing. For us, anyway. Call was for chest pains about a half mile from the station. We pulled up behind city rescue, they came over, told us that "The patient decided to drive himself because it hurt so bad he didn't wanna wait." Turns out the guy is like 22 y/o.

Cardiac problem? possible. More likely scenario? I dunno... anxiety, drugs, maybe. People are lacing some pretty nasty shit into drugs nowadays.

My rig and the rescue took a few different routes to the hospital just to make sure the guy got there ok, which he did.

That was an hour or so break right there... Did some IV practice and some ETT (Endotracheal Tube) practice. We have a pretty cool practice mannikin here. I do need some more IV practice. plus, the caths i was using here are shit. We apparently get the "Dollar Store" version of IV caths here from what I'm told.
I guess the practice part really kicks in with the 12 or 16 hours that I have to do on the IV team at the hospital. I've done good so far, back when we were practicing IV's alot. Ah well. practice, practice, practice.

I think I'm gonna call it a night.
Stay safe.
