Apple, Pear, half a lemon, cinnamon - crazy good
A green veggie juice with swiss chard, celery, apple, cucumber, ginger, lemon - not bad.

Meghan the Veghan - hilarious writer and great recipes/food ideas. I love these (shamefully stolen from her site)

Screaming at the Shortstop is about the Red Sox! The author is a 20something (I think) huge Red Sox fan who loves the Captain, Pedey, and hates Lackey. She's rooting for Wake's 200th win as much as I am (all these damn no decisions keepin poor Wake from the milestone).

Forks Over Knives (contest)
post #juicefast, I'll be following this food plan (I don't like the word diet). Sadly the documentary didn't come close to where I live, so I'm planning to buy the movie and/or book.
writing and juicing
So I didn't end up writing any more during internship. 3 12s as a paramedic intern and 3 12s as a tech in the hospital was too much - that was a terribly difficult 2 months. After that was finished in February we had another round of tests at school, the final, then a week of prep for National Registry practicals. Then in late February I took the National Registry written test and after 70 some horribly horribly difficult questions the test put me out of my misery.
oh way, I had to wait 24 hours to find out my results -- THAT was the misery.
Well I passed, then went and found a job as a medic. Our service does 911 and transfers, most of my weeks are about 2 transfers for every 911 call. The great part of the transfers is having a lot of time to research medications, read the physician's H&P, study lab values and look up everything on the internet on my iPhone. All of that is great! Plus, after the patient contact portion is done you're just drivin down the road chatting with your partner (and 95% of my partners are great fun to talk with. 1 is a total bitch)
Not terribly related, but, well, sort of related is a quest for improved health. I watched the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and it struck a chord. I bought a juicer earlier tonight (after quite a search in town) and got started, first with a "Mean Green" and then an orange-carrot. Both were totally drinkable, say, 5/10 but I'm guessing in a week or two of palette changing they'll taste great.
In order to make sure I have something to talk about I'm going to blog the juicefast (and weight loss/health changes).
My goals
30 days of juicefast
30 pounds of weight loss
my nagging little health issue fixed
happiness (although i'm pretty happy all the time anyway)
this starts on the 27th. This next week I'm going to try to replace about half my meals with juice and no more soda -- get the caffeine detox done this week.

first day of field internship
Dear diary
Today was the first day of field internship. I'm happily paired with a great preceptor that took the time to explain why we were doing things, and even apologized when I didn't get to start any IVs (which I'm fine with). He taught me how to better write a narrative (and I wrote half a dozen, all improving I hope) and gave good tips for interviewing.
Tomorrow we're back at it for another day.
Oh, and the lesson for the day: drinking and driving is bad, mmkay :)

code blue
Code blue the ICU tonite. Those rarely end well. Sure, you get cpr started rapidly, but the person is usually quite sick with multiple problems. As was the case here, there just wasn't enough reserves to handle it.

almost internship time
We turned in our choices for internship the other night in class. Our instructors match us for internship based on GPA, with the top person getting their first pick and then down the line. With 15 people and 7 locations nearly everybody is getting their first pick.
I put in for the 2 closest spots so I can still sleep in my own bed every night (plus, it's nice knowing the town). During my ride-alongs I hated not knowing where I was in relation to the hospital since it affects the load n go vs stay and play decision. Also, being stationed in a rig that moves around stinks if you're in the back -- you never know where you are, where you're going, and you aren't part of the conversations that go on between partners.
Lately everyone in class has been in clinicals at the hospital all the time so the stories we share with each other have been great.
I wish I'd recorded more of what happened in class and on clinicals, especially after listening to Ron Davis and Kelly Grayson over at emsnewbie.com and their weekly podcast.
