Okay, now that that's been cleaned up...
Let's stay on topic.

First let me tell you about my partner... he's one of those very loud talkers, whiners, *****er, complainer, and always talking :censored::censored::censored::censored: to me in front of Hospital Staff and Pt's.
But I put up with it because generally he’s knowledgeable from 15 years in the business.
Well today was just going along swimmingly... until I say something.
We are unloading a Pt at his nursing home, and my partner ALWAYS like to be behind pushing the gurney, so I say "I see you running for the back".
He very loudly says "You need to :censored::censored::censored::censored:ing check your attitude" right in front of the pt and people standing in front of the nursing home!!
I saw the look in the Pt's eyes; it was as if he just lost all confidence in us.
Later on.. inside as we are about to sheet drag the pt to his bed my partner makes some more very unprofessional comments.
We stay very quiet on the ride to our next call, I get out of the ambulance and close the door a little hard and proceed to the rear of the rig where I'm met by my partner, he gets in my face and stats yelling about "If I ever slam his door again".
I stay calm and tell him he’s being very unprofessional in front of pt and the public. He then looks around and is still yelling at me while he says "who's around NO ONE". There were about 10 people in front of the Dialysis Center watching my partner yelling at me while in my face.
Then we get the gurney and go pick up our pt. in the dialysis center.
I see my pt. on o2 (which she never is) and I began questioning her and the staff as to what happened. My partner steps between me and the pt. and begins questioning her with the same questions I just asked.
Some more stuff happened that day but I’ll skip to the end.
While on our trip to the Station I text our Scheduling lady to tell her to give me a new partner because we weren’t getting along.
We arrive at the station my partner parks the rig and runs into the dispatch center (where our supervisor is) but before he goes in the door I say “I’m not going to rat on you, don’t rat on me. He yells “What??.... What?” and gets in my face again IN THE STATION.
Turns out the Scheduling lady notified our supervisors and I was forced to write a UO (Unusual Occurrence)… basically ratting him out.
So…. It looks like we both have a new partner tomorrow…. I can’t wait to see what happens.
I believe I handled myself quite well and I’m being 100% truthful.… but there’s always 3 sides to a story.
I just needed to vent... and this is a "Did That Just Happen?" lol
I've had partners like this, the worst though was actually an FTO. I was riding with him for about 3 weeks and he is into a bunch of side things. He's very spiritual and has a business (kinda like a pyramid scheme thing) that he does on the side. So he was always peddling this business on to me, we had just one day where everything boiled over, we always kept it out of sight of patients. But if I did something he didn't approve of he would shoot me this look, it was always subtle and was directed when no one (or when he thought no one would look).
Well this particular day it was as if everything just exploded, on multiple occasions I have told him that I am not religious and to not include me with his prayer, he would listen to a christian talk station while driving, no biggie I usually read when I'm not driving. That day though, he broke all the rules we had set out regarding pestering me about his business, his prayer, and other things that we agreed were not the best thigns to talk about. We got into a huge fight about it in the truck on the way to a stand-by. We actually diverted back to station so he could speak to the supervisors face to face without me there. I was worried because he was my FTO and i thought "welp there I go, time to look for a new job"
turns out he released me so 'he wouldn't have to deal with my :censored::censored::censored::censored: anymore".....Was just a very uncomfortable situation, as we had dealt with what our boundries were then he just breaks them all.

sounds like your partner is burnt out and needs a career change.
