Can you recall the closest you've ever been to getting fired, whether it was *removed* up with a pt, or almost getting in a fight with a fellow employee, or a superior, etc etc.

I think some of yall have GOT to have some close-calls to the curtain-falls.

Hopefully we don't have any members with seizure disorders. If so, I like to think of it as job security.

How much time do you have?

I've had a pt call in and say I'm the devil. I've got the tape and listen to it when I'm feeling down.

I’ve learned that being terse with people gets one in trouble. That’s why I come here and blow off steam sometimes. Or else, I would just explode. As far as being fired, that hasn’t happened yet.

I have been fired. My first flight job. Couldn't make if off orientation. Not enough prehospital/critical care confidence. A bit of a kick in the teeth.

my First job at a Trauma hospital I was a newbie to the field and wasn't experienced enough or confident. It was kinda of embarrassing that I had been 'asked to leave' from a job I really liked.

My stated purpiose in life after EMT and RN school was to work ER.

For many complex reasons, (one of whom was fired after I left when caught en flagrante delicto in a hospital stairway with the maintenance supervisor while married to a convict), I failed a double length probation. They gave me an extra three months, I took it and got my ALS. I had no experience other than field EMS as an EMT, USAF crash rescueman, and Guard med-tech, I got my chance at my dream a little early, ran afoul of two senior co-workers and crashed.
Never fired from ambulance work. Wouldn't let me drive the Caddy's in Lincoln, but since I didn't know the streets and those street rockets sorta scared me, that was just as well.

I was fired once for doing some off duty plumbing work with my manager's girlfriend...........

Wasn't a big deal, the company went under a few weeks later. I'll always have fond memories of working there................

I just about got into a fight once. We were on scene of a call and my partner had the biggest attitude. I don't know what had gotten into him, but if he woulda kept it up after the call I'm sure I woulda had it out with him at the station. But now all is good, water under the bridge!

Um, let me rephrase that....

SHE was caught with their opants down AFTER she helped me get fired. Not associated other than to reference her exemplary moral standards. (I mean, he had an office...).
The rest of you guys....makes me feel old and , well, old.;)

Your avatar makes it hard to read the post with all the flashing going on if you have bad migraines. Can you please make it stop flashing?
