Day 2 

A small number of days have pasted post my discharge.It feels like I'm standing beside myself.I am.
It's my Shadow.It is me.I knew.He would return.I knew.We would return.I still have no answers from him nor he from me.We dont understand time.I knew,he'd return & reappear.I'd always hope he someday would get lost.He never would find me if I ran.I ran so far.It became life,He knew the time would come.Over the years. He showed up. These years have become Chronicled between us.
Now, he returns again for another questionable beginning or possible end.He is without words but does not hide.The Sun brings him out in darkness.

It seems like yesterday but it cant be.Years have past.We sat together in the sun. I recall the past whenever we are together & wonder of a future.I want to just forget & move on. Who wants to remember? I've always wanted to forget.Forget pain.Like a hard slap in face over and over. My shadow is beside me. I relize its me..I always wanted to grow without him.As much as I went.He followed.He never could explain,Why?My face had to hurt and a heart that just had to.

I'm a product of a Medical study that began 10 years  prior to my exsistance.In 1965 Dr. Stanley Dudrick lead research science at the University of  Pennsylvania.They had been giving nutrients with IV to dogs this led to today’s Total Parenteral Nutrition(TPN).he is widely recognized  and respected throughout the scientific, academic and clinical world for his innovative and pioneering research in this development of the specialized central venous feeding technique known as intravenous hyperalimentation (IVH). 

I'm caring for myself now.I received several calls today to explain scheduling difficulties.so there would be no visiting nurse available.As the phone conversation went my knowledge & comprehension more than likely was the culprit of a lazy care support program that would ultimately serve the general public not trained. 

I'm having sleepless nights.

NREMT-P

NREMT Paramedic
The National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) was founded in 1970 in response to a recommendation made by President Lyndon Johnson and the Committee on Highway Traffic Safety. The founding members created a national certification agency to set the standards for training and examination (NREMT Paramedic Exam) for personnel active in the delivery of emergency ambulance services, such as the First Responder, EMT-Basic, EMT-I85 and I89, and Paramedic.

NREMT has established various regulations pertaining to the EMS level of certification and re-certification. Among the EMT certification levels, it is rather difficult to obtain certification and re-certification for paramedic, since applicants are required to undergo a number of paramedic training courses and to pass the state examination. The Paramedic test is designed to be challenging due to the very nature of the work.

Currently, NREMT exams are used by 46 states and territories as the sole basis for certification at one or more levels. Each applicant must meet the NREMT paramedic requirements in order for him or her to be eligible to take the paramedic state test. However, paramedic exams may vary in some states, which may administer their own certification examination. To be on the safe side, be sure to contact your state with regard to which provider they have approved to conduct the paramedic state test.

I walk in.We walk out.

Late morning,i walk into a premiere staple breakfast diner of the Attleboroughs....I chose counter top & stool underneath me...An elderly man was to my Right & Staring at me.It was like he knew me...i gathered my thoughts with no recollection.
I said "Hello" & sat down...I glanced at my cell.So did he...He picked it up lightly...Looked it over & placed it down...Few words have been spoken & if he spoke i geared my ear closer to his words....Which seemed laborous to him..I received my plate & received the indigestion to go with 3 sunny side over french toast,Bacon,2 Sausage links & coffee....
The gentleman began to shuffel & gather....I did the same.....The man threw down 3 one dollar bills...& stood up with cane stablizing his left side.I asked for my bill...The rotten tooth waitress told me it was paid...I asked.She ebruptly asked.Pointing to the old man.Is this your grandfather? I looked at him & he at me....We smiled.I walked him out with repeated Thanks & direction to propel heavy doors out of his way.I could only revere him as a King....We continued down the walk....until my car...

8 years & Get me out of here!

There are 3 levels of EMT licensing in Rhode Island. EMT-B and EMT-Paramedic as most states.Rhode Island has a unique middle level of certification called an EMT-Cardiac. The EMT-C level is the only one held solely through The State of Rhode Island's Department of Health & approved training schools.The EMT-C had been constructed so to provide an Advanced Level of care.The level became dominant & still is.The state authorizes a 4 month program in Medications,dosages,AED use & I.V.insertion.These procedures dominantly had been protected by a Paramedic.EMT-C continues to operate holding neighboring Protocols & recommendations through out the United States.Virginia, until 2008 also held this exclusive EMS Level with tweeks & allowances for Virginia's needs. Rhode Island's EMT,Paramedic levels are still set through the National Registry.A practical test and a computer multiple choice test will be needed to  passed to be eligible for Rhode Island.The Paramedic must also take & Pass a Rhode Island approved exam post passing the National Standards.The National exams will give you National Certification from the National Registry.This enables those to challenge any State's or Country test through those that recognize the National Standard.

Maybe,Someday or not at all
