So many hours, so few patients

Had a pretty good couple of days last week, but didn’t get to post for a while. First thing Sunday morning, my partner and I headed out on an all day pair of flights. We landed just in time to scream off to an accident 45 minutes south of town, but the other two cars had beaten us there, so we turned around and called it a day at the 14 hour mark. First thing the next morning, we headed via helicopter to an accident 197 miles north on the highway, to rescue the trapped driver of a 36,000 lb. load of dynamite, but we were turned back at the mountains by a sheer wall of snow being whipped around by a 50 knot wind, and the ground ambulance from the Yukon had to take the call instead. To round it all out, I nearly worked enough hours yesterday to get suspended. Now this is what I signed up for.
