Finally, a decent call.

My supervisor, another emt, and I were watching a sweet musical (Jesus Christ Superstar) when our pagers went off. Good timing, right during the final song. It was a weird moment, when all of us jerk up when the vibrating pager went off.

"Head Injury. No detail."

Oh crap.

All three of us start jogging out to the truck parked in the driveway, then halfway there we sprinted for it.

Lights and some sirens, speeding down a lane in 5 seconds that normally takes me a minute to bike.

The guy looked fine, but had blacked out. Crap.

A car full of guys had driven up to him, rushed him, mugged him, and popped him on the head with....something....then drove away.

After awhile, we finally convinced the guy to go to the hospital. I was frozen by now, since my friend who wasn't on duty needed my official EMS hoodie...to look official...

Things are getting pretty nasty.

College isn't safe. Be careful guys and girls.
