The full story is here. Go, read, be happy.

(The piccie also appears in the large version here, at Flickr, if you want to link to that instead of to me.)

Indeed, awww!

And the comment at the end of the story that people might have felt it a waste of facilities - be damned to that, the medic was getting practice in a procedure that he may have to do for real one day on a neonate.

(Oh, and Happy Birthday. Colin Greenland yesterday, you and [livejournal.com profile] krabbe today, [livejournal.com profile] clanwilliam tomorrow. What's with this cluster? Mind you, counting back 9 months does end up in mid August.)

Heh, that is my mate Tom, that is.
For more information, I strongly advise you to buy hisbook *Blood Sweat and Tea*, available from The Friday Project. A wonderful insight into EMT work.

Well done, Tom :)

Happy birthday!

Actually went looking for you for something else - a while ago you were after a USB record turntable, thought I'd point out they're in Maplins current sale at £99.99 - still way overpriced compared to the USA, I think, but the cheapest I've seen them here.

Nice kitten story - and as someone said, useful training for if a baby is in similar trouble.

The fire department in my city just got a donation of animal-sized oxygen masks. The company that donated them will be making similar donations to other local fire departments. I don't think any decent person will think it's a waste of resources.

There's a reason we say we "adopt" pets. We take responsibility for those little lives.

If something happened to my cat while I was gone, I hope she'd be in caring hands, too.

And happy birthday, a bit belated!

I've been away from the computer all day, and I'm totally knackered. However, I wanted to wish you well.

He's now posted an update. The neighbour of the household that was burned out says that the cat has now been reunited with his people and is doing well.
