Dispatch (joking): try not to memorize the address ok?

Me: you know I erase everything from my mind as soon as I leave.

Dispatch: i appreciate that!

Me: yeah, my therapist calls it compartmentalization but I call it living the dream

It really pisses me off that hospitals will close their cafeteria for a few hours at a time. I used to work foodservice. I know for a fact that with adequate staffing you can run a cafeteria without closing at 9 or 10 to get ready for lunch at 12

Any imposter syndrome I may have had about my skill as an EMT just went through the window. Wtf. They should make ME surgeon general.

Today's #healthcare tip: if you find yourself asking your emt friend "at what point is x bad enough to go to the hospital?", go to the hospital.

People think the worst part about #EMS is like, covid but it's actually spending 12 hours in a truck with someone that watches Facebook reels on full volume all day

I don't know who the EMT was that put away our zoll last but when I find out I'm going to curse them so they spend their next life as a Nintendo GameCube Controller whose owner is an 8 year old with emotional regulation difficulties.

Me, looking through the worms I dug up:

"Alright, only one of you can crawl into my ear canal and you better get me put in charge of the board of health after"

Figure I'll make my first post about something that matters. Get your vaccines now while you can and stock up on kn95's. Remember, the best thing you can do in an emergency is not panic. #ems #healthcare
