One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It started Feb 29, 2012, it was just before 9 and I was walking into work passing through a closed mall. I saw a pair of skaters grinding a stairwell. I knew it couldn't end well, sure enough, the moment they were behind me, I heard a loud thud -- the sound of one of their heads bursting right open. I ran back and slid into the scene and began getting to work. I treated for a fractured parietal bone and severed spine. There was bumps and bruises on the back of the neck, cranial fluid seeping from the ears. I barked at a bystander to activate EMS and for another to grab some ice while I worked tying him up in order to immobilize him. The EMS arrived, I gave my report and slipped out as silently as possible for being the primary rescuer.

At work, a few hours past and it was the end of my shift at the community center and I was preparing to go home, someone comes sprinting from the arena saying that a person has split their forehead open on a skate blade. I grabbed the oxygen and first aid kit and came running. I was second rescuer on this scene and filled out reports and assisted. The person had his hand over the wound on his temple but blood was oozing through it. With his LOC slowly deteriorating, we agreed to activate EMS once again. Within minutes, the team arrived and lo and behold it is the same team. They looked at me funny as they carted the client off.

I took the bus home and it was a hailstorm, I exited the bus to bullets pounding down on me, all I could think to do was not look up, about 15 meters in front of me there was another gentleman who made that mistake and took a hailball directly into the eye where it embedded. I pulled him into the next bus shelter as the stones thumped the top, he could not see out of the eye and hey was crying blood. I flagged down an ambulance leaving the hospital where my bus stop was in front of, and at this point you could guess who appeared. The exact same team as the other two situations. They were just pulling out from doing the reports from the last person I sent into the hospital.

6 days later -- it's Tuesday, I took a special trip into the school to meet with a group. I was not supposed to even be at the campus. I entered into the a
joining college through the wood shop only to be greeted by an erratic amputation. All the responders already on site were in shock about all the gore. The fingers were in a used sandwich baggie, blood was pooling in the corners of it. His hand was wrapped in unsanitary rags. I grabbed an EMT student who was at his locker to treat the injury as I figured out that EMS was activated, but was lost as no one went to greet the ambulance. I escorted the paramedics in, and then fled the scene once again.

The next day I was back at work and I was met with a fractured pelvis in the fitness center as one of the elderly patrons fell off a treadmill that was going to fast. The day after that somebody went in labour in front of me in line for the busses. I began to deliver on the spot, but she declined treatment and took a cab to the hospital.
