When your partner feels "sick"

i have to be feeling pretty bad before i'll admit it to my partner....actually had one offer to take me into the ER but i flat out refused him....my blood pressure was kinda high and i had a headache and was a little bit dizzy and probably had an electrolyte imbalance <_< but there was no way i was going into the ER....was sick last week but worked through it, wouldn't drive though (was on a bls txpt truck and we did 4 txpts i made my partner drive and i wrote them all), stomach ache really really bad to where i called the boss and asked if i could go home if i didn't start feeling better - he said yes but i pushed myself to stay. haven't had to treat my partners yet but i'm sure it will happen eventually....
ems providers make the worst pts....
 
Yeah... I had to leave work early yesterday... some kind of stomach bug. I'm over it now, but even working the VERY boring convention, where I'm in a first aid station with a bathroom, all my myself, was a little too much. I had originally tried to tough it out and just not do the second standby of the day... and evening concert. But I had to leave early.... Luckly my boss was REALLY cool...

Someone at my company had the same thing happen to them, partner ran him into the ER.

Recently someone at the company was hypoglycemic and became non-responsive on the way to a call. She was combative, broke a few things in the ambulance, and ripped a few shirts. It made a great story :)
 
Believe it or not, i actually got a call yesterday for "back pain"

Guess who. Same partner, i recognized her neighborhood. she was sittin right at 170 for the entire TXP. i think theres an underlying reason. she did admit some stuff in the back that i had to report, hope im not passin the hippa line in here.
