an EMT's job is never done

went to TGIFridays yesterday after church. yeah, some guy decided to pass out while he was eating with his parents and his daughter. "Somebody, Help!" she screamed. i went over and he was passed out but he was breathing- well snoring is more like it. then the snoring stopped!!! great i am going to have to give this man CPR. i started to pull him out of his chair and the manager tells me not to move him. "he's not breathing" i said "we're going down." once i got him to the floor he started seizing. "i told everyone to let him seize and we'll just protect his head." so he had a seizure for about 3-5 seconds and then BAMB - he sat up and took in a huge breath. he was awake and could answer all my questions like nothing had happened. though he had no recolection of what just happened. so we got him into a chair and he sat there pale and clamy until the Paramedics came. once they got there i went back to my table and started eating. then the manager came over and was so thankful because he had no idea what to do and that i just kind of took over. he then took care of our bill and we ate for free. under the reason that he comped the bill he wrote - HERO.

then it turns out that the mother of the guy, who was an older lady, actually goes to the church in vancouver that i had my first interview at- liberty bible. anyways, i think he is going to be alright, but i wonder if he is going to find out that he has diabetes!!

so that was our eventfull time at TGIFridays and our free lunch!!!

Remember that one time that you rescued that APU girl who got hit by a car and you IMed me the cartoon of her running away from a runaway vehicle saying "WATCH OUT!!!"?

Ha ha, that was funny Travis....Freaking Andy. You are a hero man....Good job. Did you order all kinds of food that night?

That cartoon was hilarious. I miss the good old days of making fun of people getting hit by cars. Life is just a little more boring without them. Hey, I just realized that out of all of us (former roommates) I am the only one NOT doing anything with his Biblical Sutdies Degree. What a loser I am. And Andy, you rock - way to not let that guy die.
