Hospital Staff Stop Walking Out In Front Of The Moving Stretcher Challenge

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,.

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.

Me: okay, so imagine for a moment... That the monitor is your patient, ok?

Trainee: okay...

Me: so, the wires for the leads are kind of like your spinal cord. The spine can bend a little bit, but it usual only wants to bend one way, and you don't want it to bend too much or get pinched, right?

Trainee: I... Sure?

Me: Right Right, so... The way you wrapped these leads... If this monitor were a patient, I'd be checking for a priapism.

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

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

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.

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.

It's been years but I still think one of the funniest things I've ever seen was when one of the local hospitals sent out a post saying "Happy EMS week to all of the Doctors, Nurses, and Ambulance Drivers" and had to change it within 5 minutes.

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.
