It amazes me that the general public think that EMTs and Medics make a lot of money.

The general public also thinks that the people on the ambulance have an exciting job that only deals with emergencies and that those people are highly educated professionals, not just 120 hours or 1000 hours post secondary training. I wonder how many people would call an ambulance if they knew just how little training and education the average EMS provider has.

I believe that alot of them still would call. Even if we only have 120 hours of training it's still more then Joe Q. Citizen. You know how much training EMS providers have so would you call them if something bad happened? I know I would.

Ok, that song, Papa Loved Mama.....don't get the papa and mama mixed up on the second to last line of the chorus.

One of my co-workers was singing away the other day, quietly, but still loud enough to be heard. What the rest of us heard was "Mama loved papa, papa loved men....mamas in the graveyard papas in the pen." Took me five minutes to stop laughing. Oh my gosh....the gal singing it will never live that down.

Sounds like papa got what he wanted, in the end.

"Well... actually..."

Ahhh. The other day we had a patient who didn't want to go to the SNF, we tried calling it rehab, no go... I mean she still went because she was confused, but we felt bad.

However after the call I started to sing Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" and it has been stuck in my head ever since.

"They tried to make me go to rehab I said 'No, no, no' "

Bahahaha

I'm working this shift as a favor to a friend. She's out of town so I will just wait to put my notice in until I actually sign the paperwork for the new job...

Mine didn't need to be approved. Perhaps, it is a size issue. Did you get a message saying it was too large?

Also you did click the save button, correct?

I'm pretty sure I covered everything. It shows up on my profile page but isn't showing up in my posts. Wouldn't be the first time I missed a step though. I'll try a different pic. thanks

Not sure what I screwed up the first time but I just went back through each step and now it's there so your right it must have been user error
