Why I shouldn't get involved with EMS groups on Facebook.

Person: "Governor Cristie is bad for wanting to fly the US flag at half staff for a dead druggy singer and not real heros like FF, PD, and EMS."

Me: "You do realize that the Flag Code doesn't allow for the flag to be flown at half staff for FF, PD, or EMS as well?"

Person: "But that's only done at fire stations... and we died trying to save people."

Me: ...

Cognitive dissonance hurts my head.

Must. Not. Get. Drawn. Into. Discussion. With. "But but but WE'RE HEROES." Crowd.

Yeah, it sucks... Just ask bbg... :(

I hate seeing it. Those calls and legit sucidal ideology/attempt calls are the ones that get me the most.

Only thing you can do is do everything in your pawer to help them and get them the further help that they need. I don't understand how someone can abuse their grandfather/mother/mom/dad. I just can't grasp it.


On another note, we got F'd in the A by dispatch today.

A better note, I'm on the dedicate ski resort car tomorrow, sucks being up there but not being able to ride but still nice to have some time to study while on the clock and start on the book adamjh3 sent me :D

I will not ask for any kind of discount for being an EMT. What I do instead is go to places right after work so I am still in my uniform which they see and I get a discount.

Car insurance, phone bill, bank account, and now at the gym haha

Weird. I will have to talk to my agent since I have EVOC through my agency.

The phone store would never work on duty, we are too busy.

We were coming back from a long distance transfer so we were out of service when we stopped.

I get a 20% AT&T discount... that's about the only think I'm not ashamed to ask for... given that I use MY personal phone quite often, especially on the volunteer side.

Crap hope he makes a quick recovery. Don't worry he's too grumpy to stay down long. I'm sure he'll be up and telling the nurses how poorly they do their jobs in no time.

Actually the nurses have been saying how nice and polite he is. :huh:

Got out of surgery almost 12 hours ago, hopefully will get discharged later today.

What discount is that? Does it have a specific name? I use my AT&T phone at work all the time… I need to ask for a discount too.

Loving actually doing 911 calls as a basic.

Exhausted since im teching all of them for now.

Had a guy yesterday in vtach with a pulse. 210 monitor rate. A&Ox4 and only complaining of DIB.

Couldnt get a line or the medics were gonna cardiovert. We were only 7 min from the ER.

A lot better than being a kidney saver thats for sure.
