Snitches get stitches
I'm going to call you to take me to The er because they look funny And because i felt sick for twenty one days
You did exactly the right thing, VA Transport EMT. Yes, it's good to try and get issues resolved at the lowest possible level...and in this perfect world, your partner would be intelligent enough to not put you in that position in the first place by not texting and driving.
Sure, it sounds like an :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: move, and doubtless people will label it as such- but texting and driving is innocent until it isn't. Until you're in an accident, and your job is on the line for not doing anything about it. It's innocent until the fire department is extricating someone from the car your rig smashed. It's innocent and fun until it's your femur you're looking at snapped in half. Then it's serious.
The real :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: move isn't reporting this guy, the :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: move is texting and driving in the first place.

Considering the typos- I feel like you were typing this while driving.
Tell me otherwise.
Would you like a cookie or a medal? I sure hope your partner was testing you on CPR or something you're supposed to know... Gawd forgive they ensure you are competent at your job!
I sure hope you approached your partner and spoke with them respectfully, asking them not to text, or used an "I statement" to express your fears, "I worry about your driving when you're texting. I'm happy to drive if you have messages you need to send, but ask that you not text when behind the wheel."
The fact you are proud of this, and even labeled it as "ratting out" appears that you took pride in it-- your action was motivated by embarrassment or revenge rather than road safety, which worries me. Gold star, VA Transport EMT.

If you don't want someone to tell on you doing something wrong, don't do it.
I don't understand people on this forum sometimes. Most of the time people preach about safety and how people are stupid for doing things that are considered dangerous. Now this person is avoiding a dangerous situation and everyone is up in arms. If you don't want someone to tell on you doing something wrong, don't do it.

It's not the fact that people disagree that it is unsafe. More disagreeing with the pathway that was insinuated in the original post.
I can't stand people who go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200$... Texting and driving is inexcusable but you bet your *** I'm going to address my partner first about it, probably the second time too before taking it up the chain.
