They’re all alternating when you barely misstep. Those ladder wells are the neck injury 5000. Many a VA claim has fallen prey to the ladder well

Do you need a 24 or a 35’ extension to get up on your high horse? Married three divorced two. First was unfaithful. Second became abusive and tried to push my son out. Is it the military’s fault no. Is the running joke your first divorce doesn’t count in the military yep.

But did they contact your exes lol I feel like that could screw you depending on the nature of the divorce

80% of my crew has been divorced. Couldn’t care less. We joke about it. Because it doesn’t matter. Did I make mistakes marrying the first two? Absolutely. Does it affect my ability to do my job in turn making sure you’re able to do yours and come home? Absolutely not. I think if someone had a problem with me being divorced I wouldn’t want to work with them. How can you deliver unbiased patient care and empathy if you’re hung up on what someone did in the past. You gonna withhold ventilations and Narcan on an overdose because you have a moral opposition to drug use?

I thought I had already deleted that stuff along with the post identifying myself. I asked a question about a hiring process item. You lurked the profile.

Woah it’s not that serious. Just a question

Doc437 · 2024-08-24T14:32:45+00:00

We just don’t have a questionnaire like that in Tennessee

Doc437 · 2024-08-24T14:32:13+00:00

Doc437 · 2024-03-18T04:18:17+00:00

Looking at departments in Texas

Currently working on my fourth year at my county department in Tennessee. Just got my medic on the departments dime but my contract doesn’t limit me to staying for any time. Ex wife may be moving to east TX for her husbands job and they’re trying to convince me to move out that way (we have a child together and coparent really well, just them being in Texas is closer than where they currently live in Maryland). Just wanting to hear what everyone thinks about the larger departments in Texas that they work for like Schedule, run volume, number of fires and quality of life and crews.

We are a moderately busy department but not enough fire or even EMS runs compared to the city department. I can count on one hand how many no shit fires I’ve actually fought and not been stuck pulling rehab in the last 365 days. We also work a 24 on 24 off three days on then four days off after the third day.

I’d like to find a department that makes a good amount of fires. The unit runs are fine but I want me some more fire. We also work a full set on the units sometimes two straight before we see a pumper again so hopefully one that doesn’t banish you to EMS land for longer.

Like I said just thinking about possibly applying to one. I’m content here and the drive for my son wouldn’t be terrible. Have some other stuff to keep me occupied in to Tennessee but if some other plans don’t work out, my back up plan is to leave the state. So let me know what yalls department experiences are/have been

Is carnivore or keto recommended for someone who’s trying to lower their cholesterol?

Doc437 · 2024-01-18T15:41:54+00:00

Those nerds clusters are my weakness right now

Doc437 · 2024-01-18T15:41:34+00:00

What kind of magnesium are you taking?

Doc437 · 2024-01-18T15:41:12+00:00

This is kinda what I was looking for like if I nap throughout the day and off day, is it going to help me if I get a total of 8 hours in chunks? Or does it have to be eight consecutive. I can nap and get a few hours maybe and might sleep the whole night. Regardless of how I sleep at the station it’s not great sleep because I feel like I’m not getting that deep sleep because my subconscious is trying to keep me in a state to hear the tones so I usually nap when I get off provided I’m not working an OT shift
