I would kill for a onezee on those really cold nights, especially when I was in upstate NY.....The disciplined medic was interviewed IN BED, in ZIPPER JAMMIES??? My 5 yo thinks he's too big for one-piece zipper jammies.
actually, i think the reason he was dressed like that was because he called out sick from work, hence all the niquil and tissues. also why the interview was in his bed (which was a little awkward....). If he had been all dressed up, the chief would have tried to reprimand him for calling out sick when he wasn't really sick. It's probably more of an intentional act than anything else.
not for nothing, as much as it sound like a great resume builder, and some good experience (as well as just a little bit of fun), based on what you just described, plus all the news stories that Charlie LeDuff shows, I can honestly say if you paid me $250,000 a year, I would still say that it's not worth it. and I'm shocked anyone wants to work there, and those who do work there haven't moved on to better places.Worked there for years: Yes you get shot at, i had two trucks shot in 3 years. Yes anything of any worth will be stolen. You will end up fighting at least once a shift. People have been executed on stretchers, in hospitals etc... It was common to just be driving and find a shot up car full of ppl, drivebys, fire bombings, etc... Its a complete warzone! Add in all the normal runs ie suicides,mi,strokes, dib/sob, its enough to make a provider insane or more often turn to drugs or booze. But I loved it! The experience gained was second to none
