I don't know where everyone else stands on this, but after changing my brakes a couple weeks ago, I'm convinced that drum brakes are truly the epitome of evil.

Emergency! got both my dad and myself into EMS. Johnny Gage is definitely my hero, he's who I wanted to be like all through EMT school. I remember my dad picking me up from school and we'd watch it on TV Land. Right now, Emergency! is motivating me to stay in paramedic school instead of staying...

Please for the love of God make sure to keep track of and use the neck straps. And also make sure to hit the pause button before starting it on compressions

Admittedly, I missed the part about vehicle trackers becoming disabled. I will agree that disabling location tracking not only demonstrates intentional call-dodging/work avoidance, and should be grounds for termination. It's more than an administrative and dispatch issue, it can potentially...

I mean, at my part time service, I live in the service area, so as long as my partner is cool with it and we remain available, I'm allowed to take the ambulance to my house. But that's if I need to get something at home or let the dogs out, rather than sleeping at home instead of in quarters

I really don't wanna do this clinical documentation 😩😩😩

That's sounds like pain and suffering tbh, probably doable if they pull 12s though

Technically I have a doctor's note for possession and ownership of my chocolate Lab in order to circumvent anti-dog lease agreements. I need to get one for my white Lab as well 😎👍

I'm one minor inconvenience away from saying "SCREW IT!!!" and bringing my dogs to work with me in full violation of policy

Having worked in EMS for about 3½ years now, I feel like Johnny and Roy had it so easy

In short, I agree. I try to follow my mindset I've been trained to have: "It's their emergency, not yours."

Days like today make me wish I had a shop building, machining tools, TIG and MIG welders, and endless raw materials. I'm just in a mood to build things right now.

I must really deeply subconsciously hate both myself and my bank account. I'm doing my paramedic as an Associate's, then have sights set on a Bachelor of Technology in Public Safety Management. After that, hopefully back to Stillwater for a Master of Science in Fire & Emergency Management...

Howdy

I can't if you don't come through Oklahoma

I'm only in my first semester and I'm really thinking I should have done law enforcement instead because cops currently seem to have it figured out. But naturally, I'm a glutton for punishment and am still pursuing that upgrade to paramedic.

All very true statements. I'm lucky in that my service has a lot of paramedics who meet or exceed a minimum standard of excellence, and they care enough about my education and training to facilitate my learning as much as possible. Admittedly, I've had some difficulty in the hospital triage...

I have discovered in the midst of clinicals that the assessments I've been performing as an EMT truly, horrendously suck.

When you look at your paycheck and realize that agreeing to come off weekends for your wife was not in fact a good idea 🤬🤬🤬
