Paramedic School

So for those of you that don't know Shawn is in paramedic school! When he first got accepted I kind of figured it would just be a little bit different then what he does as an EMT but everything else would pretty much be the same. Well I was wrong...way wrong. He is insanely busy. He not only goes to school on Tuesdays and Fridays all day but he works on the days in between that, goes out and works at the Fire Department on Friday nights and then all of the other nights he's up until at least midnight studying for all of the tests that he has. It's honestly really insane and i'm really glad that it's him and not me! Well they have also started doing injections and IV's. There was a time when I thought I wanted to join the medical field and possibly be a nurse...well I decided against it and now I am reminded why. I'm a little weirded out about needles....especially when I am the one that's putting it into people. So Shawn and his paramedic friends got to practice on each other and it resulted in some pretty funny/disgusting pictures. The guy that was putting an IV in Shawn I guess did something a little wrong because blood came squirting out and there was pretty much blood all over Shawn's arm...yeah I totally couldn't handle it! But I am so proud of Shawn and all that he's accomplishing. I can't believe how much he is learning already! So here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure...we try to keep it PG on here...so none of them are TOO bad...plus most of you probably have much stronger stomaches then me! Yes...I know I am weak sauce. Next week they start on foot and possibly neck IV's...yeah and I thought this was bad! Until next time have a wonderful day!
