One thing I have noticed in my time in EMS is the prevailing attitude to psych patients.
Psychiatric Illness is like an illness to any other part of the body. Never forget that. Statistics prove that 20% of us will suffer from some sort of mental illness at some point in our lives.
Let me ask you to reflect on this, would you speak of patients with Renal Failure, Chronic Heart Disease, Cancer, COPD or multiple fractures in the same way you talk about your mentally ill patients?
People do not choose Heart Disease, in the same way they do not choose Mental Illness.
One of the lowlife "psychs" , found my Xbox 360 that was under the seat, and decided to steal it last night. Locked car, they pried the new car door open.
Lowlife? or doing what they need to do to survive?
I can't feel bad for anyone today
If this is because of an Xbox, GET OVER IT. One is a human being, the other is a games console. Please, if your life is so pathetic that you have to prioritise an Xbox over a human life, maybe you need psychiatric help.
But yes. once they start throwing a fit, it makes things "interesting" to say in the least
Or pattients are not her for our amusement. We are hear to help them. There is not reason for our patients to be treated like a toy. Seizures (the proper name for what you called fits) are dangerous causing Hypoxia to the brain. How is this interesting?
I think you might need to seek help yourself. You sound like you will be in the 20%.
