Jun 24

We were driving through the city, no sirens, in rush hour traffic.. the attendant in the back started an IV and kept an eye on me and the monitor all the time asking me how I felt, the pain was coming and going. He looked up at the monitor and said to the driver "turn on the sirens.." all the time talking to me and the ER. My heart rate zoomed up to 200! Yikes!

Much love to all you paramedics and ambulane crews out there.. and to you, AllaNO1Bear.Be well!
