If You Live In An Area With Multiple Hospitals Within A Small Radius (I'm Talking Within A 30-40 Minute

Gotta say, I was prepared for a lot when I became an EMT, but what I was not prepared for was the amount of other queer people in this field.

It's nice

In honor of my new follower whose first post is about getting wanting to get choked I'm happy to say that this blog is kink friendly.

Friendly reminder to stay hydrated and keep up your electrolytes when you're getting railed, and if you can't fit two fingers under the rope then the rope is too tight. 💜

you may have been spared the olive smell, but RIP to your coffee

We make a lot of sacrifices on the boo boo bus, but they never warned me about this 😭

Playing a dangerous game by trying to eat my spaghettios while my coworker, who is notorious for turning us all into flight medics, drives to the next call

"Wow you've been really quiet today, you must have had a lot of runs huh?"

"haha yeah it's been uh. It's been a day."

"you took a nap on the bench seat again huh?"

"yeah... Yeah I did."

The amount of times I have to remind coworkers to wear GLOVES with patients is way too high

stupid fucking coworker ass meme posted in the work group chat BUT!!!!!!!! it made me do a laugh.

Thinking about the EMT I used to know that was a former marine, went to Afghanistan and when he came back was extremely critical of the government, super honest about everything he saw there and was real big into socialism. Dude still knew guys who had a lot of background knowledge on things that happened during the bush administration and had a lot of insider information on local politics.

This guy was tough, but didn't look it. Used to be a hellraiser in his youth, picking up chicks in his Harley and getting into fights all the time. When I met he was looking into unionizing the company and getting into fights on Facebook about economics.

Dude ended up retiring a couple years back. Two months later is when the first covid lockdowns hit. To this day I still think he knew.

One of the more difficult things to deal with as a patient advocate is that for some reason the hospitals and staff are usually not very happy when you have to advocate for the patient. Hmm.

I'm EMS we're taught to look out for our partner, and double check them to make sure we're not forgetting any crucial steps when providing patient care.

I put this into practice a lot by asking Jim if he washed his hands whenever he comes out of the bathroom.
