Working

So I am currently at work right now sitting in the back of the truck. I am in the back because my new partner is a driver training officer and she's currently training a guy on driving the ambulance.

Today started out "great" with the first call being dispatched as an "unknown problem." Arrived on scene at the apartment complex where management met us. Management advised that she talked to this guys family and said the family hasn't seen or heard from this guy in days and that they tried to open the apartment door but the deadbolt was locked. As Fort Worth Fire is arriving the manager stated something to the effect of: "Oh and the neighboors are complaining of a fowl smell." At that point fire kicked in the door, yes kicked it in even though they had their tools with them, but hey, its their foot and knee. As soon as the door flew open this god awful smell came flying out. It's a smell that immediately smelling you know what it is. Poor guy was laying on the floor. I was only in the apartment long enough for us to call time of death and then I was out. I didn't really see the guy good enough (lighting was poor) but I thought he was a black guy, but management told us that he was a white guy. So that means that he's been down for awhile. So no idea what the cause of death would be, so I'll just wait on the TCME report to come out.

Also ran a stroke victim to far today. Not many of the calls we get for strokes actually turn out to be a stroke as they usually turn out to be a diabetic problem. Poor guy was truely having a stroke. Upon arrival at the ER we took him straight for a CT scan and he had a bleed in his brain. Hope everything turns out ok for him.

Well thats it for now as were just getting a call at a nursing home. Those are always fun.
