Job Security...

Oh goodness...some days you just wonder. Today I was working and got a call for a "choking infant." This makes anyone's stomach drop, but so far, in my 3 years on an ambulance, each time the baby has been screaming by the time we got there and it's been no big deal. Here is a tip for all of you parents out there. Don't feed your 7-month-old taquitos. That's right this mom had given her 7-month old little girl fried, crispy-shelled, shredded beef taquitos. Seriously...what do some people think? Just FYI, it didn't work too well. The little girl was fine and laughing at us all by the time we got there. So, at least it had a happy ending. Just thought I'd share that bit of wisdom with you. Generally, they should have teeth BEFORE they eat fried food with shredded meat.
