If you were to look at my job description, you'd see that I'm supposed to be able to handle tense, horrible situations at a moments notice, take charge, and heal with the best of them. That listing might seem adventurous and exciting, but if you look at the reality of what I do on a day to day basis, you'd be disappointed. Often I'm slacking off in the Med Room, drawing these pictures, working on stories, or reading the paper. My partners are no better...as I'm drawing this, Steve is asleep and Holly is tuning her guitar. Occasionally, my boss will erupt into the room and yell at us for being schlubs, then take a seat and yell at me for sniping him in Call of Duty when he was planting the bomb.
However loose we might get, though, there's always an undercurrent. It's akin to dread, or anxiousness and worry. It's the knowledge that something, eventually, will happen, and we'll have to snap to it and go help. It might be a band-aid...it might be something far worse. In the end, that's all we end up doing. Besides tuning the guitar, besides setting a world record in Free Cell...we're just...waiting.

Well... no. I am the on site boss (snitch really) and as for things to do. Well, we are allowed to play solitare on the computer. And that's it. No net, no books, I am not supposed to draw (I do anyway) and no homework studies. So... I will happily trade your boredom for mine.
Hero and human... Whether a person has performed in an almost superhuman fashion or a foolhardy way, befitting the flaws present in all those bound by the mortal coil. These are two perspectives taken by historians and scholars to give meaning or comprehension to actions taken by people in the heat of action. In truth, I suppose they are really only differing responses from individual mindsets and physical and mental conditioning undertaken over a lifetime...
In any case, when an event occurs in which you are needed, I wish you luck and safety, whether it is a simple band-aid or something worse.

I know how you feel. I work on an ambulance as well and I tend to spend my time watching movies, working on school work, or doing EMS (earn money sleeping). Also, I work on the neonatal transport unit (there are pictures of babies on the side of the ambulance...) and on my weekends I join the NICU in their potluck.
