It's down to crunch time. I have two days before the finals begin. I think I am ready but you never know. We have three 8 hour days that have various types of testing from a comprehensive multiple choice final covering the entire year to our practical station where we get tested on our ability to run a cardiac arrest situation. I have two days left to cram whatever I think I need to have memorized into my overcrowded brain.

Yesterday was a nice break from all the studying. I worked over in Union Gap which is south of Yakima. Had a couple of good calls and got some good experience. I saw some sad situation though. There is soooo much alcohol abuse on the Indian reservation. Every one of my calls had alcohol as the cause of the accident, from a rollover where the patient was ejected and has open leg, arm and pelvic fractures to a women who was shit faced at 8 am and fell over and split her lip and broke her nose. It's just sad to me to see a culture that as a whole has been so affected by alcohol.
