So it has been a few weeks as part of a the flight crew at the new job. It actually wasn't anything super exciting or really critical. Just a lot of policy and procedure. However, I was able to get my first flight! It wasn't a super crazy scene call that involved RSI and landing on the interstate, but it also wasn't a dialysis transfer either. What it was, was an opportunity to break the seal and apply what I have learned thus far. After all, you have to crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run. Oh, I have to admit that it was pretty cool to be able to do so in a brand new aircraft but man did it take forever to get that first flight out of the way.
At any rate, we took a very stable pt from one of our out lying facilities to the "mother ship" for further evaluation of a DVT. Nothing ground shattering or mind blowing. It was an easy call. I have done calls like this dozens of times on the ground but this time I happen to have a much cooler ride. Thankfully the flight went fine without any issues or concerns by anyone involved. It was nice to reach a goal and check it off of my life's list of things to do. Or as some of you would put it, the bucket list.
But now is not the time to get comfortable or cocky. Now is the time for learning, growth, and observation. Onward and upward! Hopefully this particular chapter in the adventure that is my life will allow me to add a few more interesting stories to my collection.
