at drill last night Jackie Ahrens, newly returned to the fold as an EMT, showed a picture of a tumor removed from her stepdaughter's ovary. It weighed 32 pounds or more. It looked like a giant heart. It took nine years for the daughter to be diagnosed.
Eventually we got the gurney out of the ambulance but it nearly collapsed on itself and at that point I was furious with Diane for number one not assisting and telling me 'I should be doing this' and number two, careles and disrespectul conduct while on a call. The gurney collapsed with a patient on board who was making comments about the way Diane andi were interacting and saying something it was better entertainment than the soaps. The office manager of the ER was present by then and we were all trying to disengage the gurney and get the patient inside and I told Diane that I was sick and tired of her always needling staff on a call and that it needed to stop. I said that I asked for assistance in getting the patient indoor and that the gurney was not responding and we would need all the help we could get. For her to stand there and harass me when i was already having troubles unloading the gurney did help the situation and she needed to back off and be quiet. The office manager of the Forks ER said that this wasinappropriate behavior and I said I don't care, I'm tired of her always bullying staff on a call and it needs to stop. I also thought privately that I wasn't being paid to serve as an EMT helper/ambulance driver and I had nothing to lose by standing up to Dian
