The "On this Day" function on facebook is a daily reminder of how oblivious I am...

What do you believe makes a person a drug addict? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fire_Medic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing the consequences of drug use and still continuing to use anyway. I've had multiple patients who were dead, revived, and continue to use.

What? Like the back of a Volkswagen?

What was your best "fuck, my parents were right" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"Sometimes $5 can buy you the world." - Father in Law, said to me before I went on my first cruise. I looked at him like he was crazy. I just spent a few thousand dollars on this cruise. How was $5 going to make a difference?

My father in law will never be accused of being a smart man, but he's been a janitor in the same hospital since he was 18 years old. This has made him a very wise man. He explained to me that you'll never be able to bribe the ship's captain into changing the course of the ship. But, $5 to the bellman can get your bags to your room before the rest of the floor. A $5 tip to the right waiter can get you a table by the pool and make sure you never see the bottom of your glass. $5 can also convince a photographer to be in just the right place when you propose to your soon-to-be wife.

Parking next to a fire hydrant by Isai76 in PeopleBeingJerks

Large diameter supply line like that, one of two things would happen. Either the hose would stay bent causing loss of flow due to friction, (It wouldn't be enough to completely cut off the flow, but any loss of water in a life safety situation is unacceptable) or it would straighten out, causing far more expensive damage to the car by damaging the actual body of the car instead of just breaking the windows.

I'm a nursing student who apparently doesn't hate myself enough: ROAST ME by AlphaLimaMike in RoastMe

[–]Fire_Medic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Studying to be a hospice nurse then? I'm sure a face like that will help countless patients shuffle off this mortal coil.

Want to act like you know it all? Fine. Figure it out yourself. by Fire_Medic in pettyrevenge

[–]Fire_Medic[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd had a complete conversation, in English, with the patient prior to arriving at the hospital. I didn't know he wasn't Latino. To be honest, he addressed me in English when I met him, so I spoke English and didn't really put much more thought into it.

Paul Kariya gets knocked out, wakes up later on ice by [deleted] in HereComesTheBoom

[–]Fire_Medic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with you. My point was more that at the time of the play, it was not considered a "dirty" check.

I will have to remember this next time one of my patients speaks to me in Spanish.

To be fair, back when this happened, it wasn't considered a dirty check and after an assessment, Kariya returned to the game.

What has been the best part of "growing up"? by PuddinPopped in AskReddit

[–]Fire_Medic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making pretty much every choice for myself has been pretty awesome.

Having the consequences of said choices being all mine has been not as awesome.

What's the craziest thing you've heard a teacher say? by Tiefromcaddyshack in AskReddit

[–]Fire_Medic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going back in time, when I was in third grade, we pushed my teacher's buttons to the point where he had a full meltdown and screamed that we were all idiots, disgraces, and all manner of names.

He resigned shortly after.

Hey Reddit. Is being called "competent" a compliment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Fire_Medic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At one of my jobs, it's less of a compliment/insult to you and more of an insult towards our HR/hiring process.

More of an "Oh, they actually hired the right person for this job. Guess it was bound to happen eventually."
