25 January, 2009. 12:11 AM.

Part 1 of 4

(Note: This entry was done at the time and date indicated, but through a fault in saving, I lost it. This is what I remember of that entry.)

Matt knew that he was on call today, so we don’t have any more surprises like Wednesday. And he’s on penicillin now, and although he’s still tired, he’s doing a lot better than he was.

His shift goes uneventfully until midnight. Jake and Dina are in the room with us when he gets the call—female, not feeling well. He leaves, and I periodically go to the window to see what’s going on. He’s first on the scene, but that’s no surprise. The primary vehicle and supervisor car show up, followed by a long period of nothing visibly happening. AMR shows up, and some boys passing by open up the building for them. I can see the crew taking her down the stairs through the building windows, I can see that Matt’s at the head of the stair chair, I see them put her into the ambulance. More waiting. AMR leaves, everyone packs up and leaves. The vehicles leave the quad and I get back to working.

It’s sad that I lost this entry—it was actually the first one that I wrote. Meh. The point still stands.
