I accepted a 50 dollars in real money bribe to stay an extra eight hours. I feel dirtier than most my patients were today.

Why EMS providers (including me) will take such tiny incentives for so much worth baffles me.

Have seen people pay up to 300

Anyone else not able to give zofran to OB patients? Our protocol just got updated due to birth defects being present with use of the drug.

First 2 weeks as a paramedic and haven't killed anyone yet! I'll take that as a win. Oh and my aura is great according to my L2K pt!

Last I heard the birth defects were only seen in long term use of Zofran.

I'd imagine so. Don't see a dose in the truck messing anything up, ever. But yeah new protocol for us.

We still use it. It's a small dose and a short amount of time to cause any effect on the on born fetus

This was a bribe made by the supervisor in gift cards. They also once offered 100 to call out sick at my regular place and come in...errrr no.

I had $500 in shift bonuses alone on my last paycheck. There's a select person that everyone refuses to be partners with, and management has realized I will work it as OT if I am appropriately compensated.

Jesus. I won't come in unless there is a bonus, but damn. I need to work on my negotiating.

If they are really desperate, I can get a $100 bonus and a $50 Starbucks gift card.

 

[Chewy20]

Yeah that wouldn't fly here haha. I wish!

My God. That changes everything!

Which EMD flashcard is "what is the name of the cat?"

 

[NomadicMedic]

If they answer yes to "does the patient have a cat?" it's an automatic Charlie level upgrade.

I still remember that one patient whose cats we had to keep fishing out of the drug box and BLS bag on scene lol

Normal cat behavior... run amok. Cats just are attracted to boxes. Heck, I've even seen a photo of a Tiger sitting in a box. Go figure...

Got off a 24 this morning, back for 12 tonight, 12 tomorrow night... and they're trying to convince me to pick up the 12 in between those. This is gonna be a nice paycheck I guess

Think I've favorited a gallery or two from the Chive of tigers and other big cats in boxes haha

 

[CALEMT]

So we only ran 3 calls today and we still managed to get off an hour late. Worst timing ever.

Hey don't judge me for sitting in boxes.
