I am absolutely against being drunk on duty.
However, someone who is a weasel enough to make assumptions and go behind a peers back to a supe can toss it. I don't want to work with anyone like that.
Reporting is the right thing to do in the cited circumstance. Especially if in your professional opinion the safety of everyone is compromised. Just have enough integrity to tell your partner to his face what you're doing and why you are doing it. If you do that everyone else should understand. You also have to remember that rumors travel faster in EMS than an all girls high school. In Hawaii we call it the coconut telephone. I'd also give it an 80% chance that the supervisor will be the main person spreading it.
Keep writing your partners up behind their backs and then observe how the rest of the workforce treats you. What am I saying? Most of the people that do that are self centered and oblivious.
It's easy to be a boy scout on a forum in the internet. However, this job, life, and the real world are all about the grey area. Like someone said before me, there are two sides to every story.
