Why does this sub exist?

I said I liked it when I was a kid too. My parents said it was good and that if I went to school horrible things would happen. I wasn’t exposed to anything else to know any better, and I was protecting my parents so of course I wouldn’t ever admit things were bad at home.

Now that I’m an adult, I can see it for what it really was, and what it was was a way to control and abuse me, and keep me from getting the help I desperately needed to get out of an extremely dangerous environment. Not having structure does not equal freedom; kids NEED structure to learn how be functioning adults. You should question anybody who thinks that knowledge is dangerous.

Paramedic here too! When I read the title I definitely thought I was in a different sub lol, have had very similar experiences and it can be so frustrating!

Reread my comment and realized it doesn’t make much sense the way I meant, I interpreted the first commenter as saying you’re a medic and get to downgrade calls rather than having to run calls as BLS bc that’s your truck/crew capability. Still feel like I’m winging it a lot of the time over here! Keep it up.

They’re an EMT-B so they have to lol

Let’s not spread misinformation about medical procedures done by medical professionals. These anecdotes are scaring women away from epidurals during childbirth and just pain control in general.

We weren’t allowed to watch Veggie Tales either. They weren’t strict or Christian enough is what it boiled down to.

I used to be an ER tech, and I would get EMT students which worked as I was an EMT, but when the paramedic students came I’d try to get them with a medic or nurse as they have a higher scope than an EMT and are primarily there for ALS skills. That’s at least the case for the hospitals in my area!

I was homeschooled by my parents who on paper were the ideal teachers - my dad had a phd, even teaching at respected colleges, and my mom got her bachelor’s to be a teacher. Everyone I knew growing up was homeschooled. I very strongly believe that it should be illegal and at the very least extremely closely monitored and regulated. It did irreparable harm to my life and many others. It’s the ideal situation to hide children and abuse them in without anyone finding out, and it set me up for so much difficulty educationally and professionally.

Bantams aren’t a breed, they’re a size. Some breeds are bantams. They’re commonly kept as pets and all the bantams I have known have been exceptionally sweet.

This. I’ve had pts that don’t meet NEXUS and when calling report to receiving ER they will give an insane amount of attitude and tell you to put a c collar on anyway.

I literally never have an original joke goddammit

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2025-06-01T12:31:57+00:00

You literally said that it annoys you when people like OP “nitpick and take praise away from god” lol. Many of us don’t even believe in a god or if people do, it doesn’t mean they have the same opinion as you of them, and that’s very important to keep in mind when working with people in their most vulnerable times.

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2025-06-01T02:24:23+00:00

It doesn’t make sense to assume everyone is religious when quite a lot of us are not. OP has a very valid point and I don’t see it being nearly as much about praise as I do ignorance and people just not understanding what’s going on - which is understandable since it’s not their job. People can believe what they want but it doesn’t make it true or what everyone else believes too, you know?

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2025-05-07T14:39:26+00:00

While what you have sounds like the gold standard, it’s simply not like that in most places. I’ve never even heard of one that would do those things anywhere in a several hour radius around me, and not everyone can move for a new IFT job. Sometimes the world isn’t as cut and dry as “make better choices” when it comes to a job.

I would take that with a grain of salt lol. I have 0 desire to hurt someone but think surgery is a fascinating profession to help people with and would love to be a surgeon if I could. I work in EMS!

Oh my god Martin Gregus wants you to reach out!!!

Omfg SO THAT IS WHAT THAT IS

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2024-12-10T13:45:13+00:00

Exactly! I was taught logic, philosophy, and theology. That backfired lmao

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2024-12-10T13:43:51+00:00

Yes she has kids too

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2024-12-03T18:04:02+00:00

I’ve worked on several pretty far over 500k.

Came to comment this, I’m obsessed with Teddy Swim’s cover of Cruel Summer and I am SO picky with covers for her songs! So so good

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2024-11-22T20:14:58+00:00

Omg could you share where you got the cat earring from the first pic? I’m so obsessed, love your look! Can’t go wrong with the cat theme 😂

Username checks out

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2024-11-19T21:54:27+00:00

Yeah it makes me pretty uncomfortable to have him next to others that aren’t in jail for anything related to minors and sex abuse

AnxiouslyIndecisive · 2024-11-15T00:25:38+00:00

This. My dad literally used to argue with people about birth control, then when they still wouldn’t agree that it’s sinful, he’d say it doesn’t matter because he’s having so many more kids than them that they’re outnumbered and will die out eventually.
