My moment of grace last night:
Responded as a crew member for our second rig last night - ended up with two calls back to back. Upon arrival at the ED with our second patient, I attempted to exit the back of the ambulance. My left foot landed in a pot hole in the parking lot, my ankle twisted in a very painful way and I fell on my a$$.
I slept last night with an icepack and a pilllow splint on the ankle. I have a Dr's appointment after conference this morning. Nineteen years in EMS and I have never had worse than a bruise or sore muscles after a call. Oh well, I guess its better to drop the EMT on the pavement rather than the patient.
