    Just got laid off!!

    most states have "at will employment" meaning they can fire and hire when ever they want without reason. It also means they can't (legally) disclose the reason you were fired if your next employer were to call and ask.

    Code brown

    "fun stuff" refers to cleaning poo, also I expressly said I would stick around and help, but it's not happening in the back of the ambulance.

    Code brown

    well, the thing about San Francisco, is that it's only 7 miles X 7 miles, with about 12 hospitals, so max transport time is about 10 minutes, not leaving a ton of time for the "fun stuff", I would never object to sticking around and helping the staff of the receiving facility clean up some poo...

    Code brown

    I never said that I would let them sit in their own poo, I'm just saying I'd let somebody better equiped (i.e. a nursing home/hospital/whatever) handle the situation, instead of using chux and 4X4's to try and clean up a whole dirty stinky mess.

    I don't know about yours, but our ambulances don't have bathtubs in the back.

    Code brown

    I probably wouldn't clean it. not because I want someone sitting in their own poo, but because there are generally bigger issues to take care of.
