It's Been Years But I Still Think One Of The Funniest Things I've Ever Seen Was When One Of The Local

This is the End Goal of Capitalism

I have had strong visions of the need for a specifically geriatric care orientated fast response team for evictions,.

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.

Got in the truck today and it smelled inexplicably like olives.

I don't know why it smelled like olives.

I didn't find any olives.

I didn't even like olives.

But either way I wasn't having it.

So now the truck smells like bleach.

You know, people call me paranoid for masking with every patient, but I can't tell you how many times I've had nurses come up to me to tell me my transfer patient has covid AFTER I already got them on my stretcher.

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.

I can see the memo now

"in light of recent events, please remember to wear appropriate PPE when handling patients. In addition, please refrain from using the term 'rawdogging' in reference to our patients, particularly when friends and family are present. If you have any questions, please reach out to your supervisor for further direction."

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

Maybe in your district. I'd love to hear this person's jokes.

*covered in blood* I'm literally fine guys. im still funny. Would you like to hear a joke Im going to tell you a joke

Hey dispatch, did they tell you guys what the patient's being transferred for?

Yeah he swallowed a penny

Oh, well there you have it. That makes sense. This hospital only deals in nickles and dimes.

If you live in an area with multiple hospitals within a small radius (I'm talking within a 30-40 minute drive), it's good to take the time to look up what hospitals offer what services.

Hospital A might be 10 minutes away, but it doesn't have a cath lab, so they won't be as helpful if you have a heart attack. Hospital B that's 20 minutes away does.

Some hospitals offer better prenatal care. Some are better for physical trauma. Ambulance crews are taught to know which hospitals are most appropriate for emergencies, but it's good to know who does what
