Though it's technically Day 1 of the EMSToday conference I am on Day 2. Yesterday was a long day of EKG learning, with a whole day session of Tim Phalen's STEMI class, followed by a short session about wide-complex tachycardias.
And lest the poor man think I'm stalking him, the first session today was his class on AV blocks. Absolutely wonderful stuff, and though I need to check my notes for better understanding, of was happy to realize that my months of not doing paramedic stuff have not entirely eroded my skills, and I was only slightly glassy-eyed during the sessions.
Today continues with Ambulance Driver's class on firearms trauma and then an afternoon class on concussions. Sadly, the exhibit hall doesn't open till tonight, do I can't go browse during my break.
And, more mostly good news yesterday. I will soon be once again a contributing member of society (and my household). I got a job as a dispatcher in my county. It's not what I really want, the schedule blows, and the pay sucks, but it's still a job. And with luck, I can parlay it into what I do want.
Meanwhile, I'm gettin' my learnin' on here at EMSToday. Wheeeeeee!!!!
