In EMS The Most Common Crime I See (in Hospitals And The Field) Is Documentation Related. Specifically

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,.

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

Every now and then I have to gently explain to a nurse that the reason I can't ignore a patient's refusal for transport is that I would prefer not to go to jail for kidnapping.

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.

Hey everyone, I'm Cece

I finally got around to making a blog for EMS related posts. Read the pinned carefully as some of our menu options have changed or whatever

If this is a medical emergency, please stop doomscrolling my blog and dial the emergency service number for your country

I am an Emergency Medical Technician that mostly deals with interfacility transfers. Most of what I do is critical care, but sometimes I do other stuff.

The purpose of this blog is mostly to post funny haha stuff, but I'll try to keep things educational as well.

That said, I am also going to keep things HIPAA friendly, so don't expect anything that would have sensitive info. Sorry guys, no war stories.

Me, looking through the worms I dug up:
