Stubborn and Cyanotic
It was a cool morning for the Mohawk Hudson City Marathon; 60 degrees with mild winds. We had the makings for an ice bath that wouldn’t be used today.

One of my first calls as a member of RPI Ambulance is one I won’t forget. Fresh faced and new to EMS, I wasn’t prepared for the shock of what providers see in the field.
A few months ago, my floor at the hospital was faced with an emergency situation. Code blue responses can be intense.
This call is from my first semester. As such, I was an attendant and protocols were different. The details may be inaccurate and I didn’t take all the vitals.
