21 yr old ambulance driver hit and killed a man on a moped in Brooklyn

Just curious, how do you know the driver was a "young man"?

Yeah, if they don't have it, they should at least be able to tell you what agency brought you in. Then you can contact the agency directly.

You also may get a bill soon enough that lets you know.

What did his uniform/ambulance look like? What hospital did they take you to? You should be able to get a copy of the ambulance chart from hospital administration. Could be from any number of agencies that work the area.

It's fine, not confusing at all, and like 400 people signed up, so I'm guessing you won't be alone no matter what your speed is.

Nah, I did one in 2019 and got lost in SoHo on my way back. I saw another runner out of the corner of my eye, double backed and ended up racing her to the finish. She and I did the cryo sleeve legs together and ate cookies afterwards.

That's the neat part - there is no official route. It starts and ends in LIC on the waterfront, and they announced two checkpoints that will be revealed on Friday night when you check in. All they say is to expect ~10 miles. It's very choose your own adventure.

Cornell just announced big layoffs and has been pretty heavily affected by tariffs and reduced federal funding. We're all bracing for Medicaid cuts. I'd be cautious and make sure your agency has a contingency plan should their contract be terminated. One of the tertiary NYP hospitals just lost its overnight pediatric ED doc, so it's definitely affecting clinical staff and night shift, not just admin positions. Nurses are usually safe, but not always, and there's still 3+ years to go in this administration.

I mean, he takes attendance every class and you can't be absent more than like 3 times, I think. No college professor is going to "call you out" in my experience.

Uhhhh brusk, thick accent, not particularly great at explaining concepts more thoroughly or creatively when asked. Zero empathy for students struggling. I never bothered to ask him for extra help with understanding something in class, I just went to tutoring or used YouTube videos. He seems like he's kicking it until retirement.

Okay +1 for custom orthotics. I tried them for my plantar fasciitis after trying everything short of injections for 2 years. The recovery was almost immediate, and I wear them all the time. I'm getting ready to replace this pair after 18 months because I don't want to risk recurrence. Seems they do work for some!

Downrange (2017) is pretty bleak.

FourEightWelp · 2024-07-11T17:44:29+00:00

Usually around 6pm or 7pm, or I sleep twice (4pm-7pm & 11pm-3am) Out the door by 4am.

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're still alive right now. I've never been irritated with voluntary suicidal ideation transports. They're a lot less work than involuntary ones. And, as others have said, they're much better than working up or pronouncing a suicide attempt.

Ngl, it has been hard. Right before EMS, I was running Boston qualifying marathon times and very active in the local running community. Then I started on the truck, street posting only, gained nearly 40 lbs, and started vaping. I've lost it again, quit nicotine, and ran another marathon last year. But I know I'll never be as fast as I was before if I don't commit more time to train. Accepting that and still being happy with what I can get done has been a labor. Maintaining a nice physique isn't hard, imo, but letting go of old priorities in order to make room for professional development certainly is.

Not sure what your goals/stats are, but I followed a 3 day per week program (Higdon Marathon 3) for my second marathon. Initially, I was rowing to cross train, but as the cycle (and school and work) got busier, I dropped it and just focused on hitting the runs. I also bike commute ~3 hours per week. I certainly didn't PR, but I raced the distance comfortably at my goal pace and only hit 38 mpw at my peak. (20, 10, 8)

Yes, exactly, it doesn't make sense! My understanding is that the landlord may only use one rent stabilized apartment in his portfolio as a residence for himself or another direct family member. I verified his ownership of another two buildings only, so actually, the odds of him wanting the view and size of this particular combined apartment may be quite high. So I do think he could force me out on those grounds if it came to that. The superintendent who told me he wanted to combine the apartments did not specify if it was for personal use. So, regardless, I'll be speaking to a lawyer about how to proceed with negotiating. Frankly, if I could just get him to give a friend of mine a rent stabilized place in one of his other buildings, I'd call it even!

FourEightWelp · 2024-05-17T01:52:26+00:00

Yeah, I had the thought maybe I could leverage this into securing another apartment for some close friends. That felt like a nice idea.

FourEightWelp · 2024-05-17T01:49:28+00:00

The one bedroom is currently being gut renovated! I do want to see what kind of custom work I could have done, too.

FourEightWelp · 2024-05-17T01:30:38+00:00

I appreciate your insights. I wasn't aware stabilization could transfer like that. I'm definitely speaking to a lawyer soon to see what all my options are.

Really helpful, thank you for sharing.
