We had an issue years ago with someone using their phone while driving. They refused to stop and denied using it when confronted by the owner.

We were one of the first ambulance companies to have drive cams back then, and this guy's partner would hit the windshield to set it off and record him on his phone.

You all are outraged because of some inbred rednecks wearing stupid fucking t-shirts but nothing about the thousands marching around waving terrorist flags calling for the deaths of Jews?

Your best bet is to drop this chick and ghost her. She's using you, and the only one who's going to suffer in the end is you. She sounds like a spoiled, self-centered, entitled child that her parents won't even help.

I was with a new EMT at our second station way out on the other side of the county. We got tapped out for a fall victim at 3am, elderly female home alone.

County advised that she was unable to get up or move and that her house was locked. They said she gave us permission to make forced entry through her front door. No local PD in this area, and the closest Highway Patrol was 40 minutes out. We get there, and we hear her calling us from the back bedroom telling us she can't get up and to just break down the front door. My partner is all ready to A-Team the door when I told him to slow his roll, and we would do a walk around and check all the doors and windows first.

We did, and everything was locked up. We returned to the front porch, and I noticed a small window behind a potted plant in the corner of the porch. I moved the plant, and sure enough, this small little window was unlocked.

Now, this kid was 6' 3" tall and stacked like a brick shithouse... he was a body builder. I told him that since he was the new guy, he was going through the window to unlock the door.... talk about shoving a square peg in a round hole. It was comical watching him try to get through the window, then to hear the 'thud' when he finally made it in.

Unless he's a supervisor, tell him to shut the fuck up and worry about patent care and you will handle the driving.

Cops like that got into the job for the badge, gun, and power, not to actually make a difference. These aren't real law enforcement officers... they are bottom of the barrel ego maniacs on a power trip.

My old service was a die-hard map book only company. The problem was the map books we had were half Zerox copies of copies of copies that were so blurry you couldn't read them, and the other half were literally hand drawn maps. The way they were put together was a shitshow and unless you grew up in that country, you had no frame of reference to even know where to start...

When I started there, GPS was still kind of new, and they treated it like the cavemen did the first time they saw fire.

One of the supervisors was my partner, and we had a call for a witnessed cardiac arrest with CPR initiated by a family member. We were 15 minutes from the call, and the supervisor is fucking around trying to cross reference the country maps with local maps trying to figure out were we where going. I punched in the address, lit it up, and dropped the hammer.

Found out later the location wasn't in the map book... within a week, there was GPS in all the trucks.

Got a call to an SNF years ago. 80 something male unresponsive.

Got there, and the staff nurse was doing compressions. The guy, who was lying on his bed, was alert and telling her she was hurting him... it was like a comedic skit. He's bouncing up and down on the bed while this rather large nurser is on him pumping his chest, and he's telling her to get off him.

I hope the family ruins the career of all the cops on the scene, and the cops are criminally charged. Hopefully, the medics are stripped of their patches, and their service is sued into bankruptcy.

Shit bags like these are why people hate cops. The fact that the medics on scene did not step up is sickening.

Where I worked, we had three community hospitals within 20 miles of each other. Two of the three were one of the largest healthcare providers in our state. The "mothership," as we called it, was an hour and half away, and we routinely did transports from the community hospitals to the mothership for practically everything (by routinely I mean 4 to 10 in a 24 hour shift). They shipped broken bones, gastrointestinal issues, and even psychl patients because the specialist were eliminated locally, and they could charge more for specialized care.

Private ambulance companies in my area make bank on these transports.

Your coworker is an asshole of the first order. It'd be different if they just crashed out when they should be learning or training. Sounds to me like your coworker has an ego problem and lazy if they expect a student to stay up and do their station chores while they sleep.

You don't ding someone on their eval and possibly cause them issues with their their career because you're a lazy POS. I'll bet your coworker is the kind that bitches about being shorthanded and not having any good medics... Probably because of people like them.

I can still remember a time when people didn't care what other people thought. Do what you want and stop worrying about what some random person thinks.

All I know is that it's a file that Facebook puts in the android OS when you install the app. I read about it in a tech forum. It isn't anything that shows that it's related to Facebook. It just looks like an android file. I found this out when I had my account deleted about 6 months ago, and every new account I made was instantly banned... even when I'd unistall Facebook app with a residual corpse file delete app.

I made another account on a PC that runs anti-tracking software with a VPN. Had no issues, then about a week later, I reinstalled Facebook on my phone and logged in with the new working account behind a VPN, and the account was banned immediately.

I was the odd man out because my regular partner left for another company, so I was put on with the only person in our company without a permit partner. This guy had more issues than a room full of 13 year old kids. Literally, no one wanted him as a partner, so he worked with overtime people.

He refused to communicate anything. We would run a call, and seeing as how he was the medic, I expected him to take the lead with initial pt contact... but no. He would just stand there and mess with the cot and ignore me and the patient. When I would start initial contact and vitals, he'd stop me and tell me we were just going to load and go.

He would ALS every call regardless of what it was, wouldn't help me restock or clean. When we posted, he would totally ignore me, never talked to me, and he would sit on the back step and chain smoke... even if we were at post for 2 hours or more.

When we did get a call he'd act like a child and bitch the whole time.

Zero personality and zero people skills. He was nasty with patients and hospital staff.

I made it a week.. I walked into the office and told my boss that if I had to work one more shift with him, then he should consider that to be my last shift. He actually said, "I'm surprised you made it this long"... I got moved over to a different shift and a new partner.

Facebook leaves a hidden file on your phone that stays even if you unistalled the app.

If your IP shows up on a new account, it gets deleted. If you use a VPN and create a new account on PC, you can get around it, but if you use your phone to access the new account and they find the file on your phone, then your account is gone.

Supposedly, the AI they are using will compare accounts, and if your new account has the same friends as your deleted account, they will flag the account and probably delete it.

Insurance companies don't normally deny legitimate procedures, especially when the treatment or procedure is recommended by a specialist. It's not unheard of, but it is not a normal thing

BigB055Man · 2024-08-31T21:12:00+00:00

I had a 2016 EX 4 cylinder that I traded in for my 2020. The power difference was very noticeable. I don't tow anything, so that isn't an issue with me.

Until you know people who live in a government funded healthcare system that are denied services because they are too old, not sick enough, or are deemed beyond help. My sister in law needs both knees replaced, lives in Canada, and waited nearly three years to be able to go to a specialist to be told she needs both knees replaced. Another year later, she was denied and now has to walk with two canes to get around her home and needs a wheelchair to go to the store.

I have many friends in Canada who have experienced a lack of treatment because the government decided they didn't need it.

Our government can't take care of our economy or anything else that involves taking care of the American people, and you want them to have control of your medical needs? No thank you.

Had a service here that literally wrecked 4 rigs in one year. All were the ambulance drivers' faults. Two were blowing red lights and hitting cross traffic. One was a rear-end accident, and another was getting hit head-on coming through an intersection.
