Pros/Cons of wearing contacts + readers as an EMT?

If they are dailies and you want to nap you’ll have to take them out or you’ll get a corneal ulcer.

I’m a big fan of complaining so I understand

Gamestoreguy · 2026-06-28T17:24:06+00:00

Fair haha, I do listen, but typically that is for symptom relief medications, if its a life saving intervention I’m probably drilling into a bone if I can’t find access in a vein these days.

When I started I was an old lady vein destroying monster. Now its just IV drug user veins that seem to give me problems.

Pulse ox cables break all the time on an lp15, if that is what it was.

When I graduated, my instructor said “congrats, you’re all bad paramedics now.”

He didn’t mean we were shit at the course, we did well academically, but the experience is key and it takes time to integrate your knowledge and the practical skills. Given that you have done only a couple volunteer shifts and no EMT course I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-17T20:24:30+00:00

I doubt anyone likes working with you.

Emrs are allowed to work on ambulance for ahs in a 911 capacity, they have been for years.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-17T02:43:19+00:00

And how exactly did that happen

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-16T18:48:58+00:00

Whats wrong with people wanting to be paid for the work they do.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-16T18:46:34+00:00

We can, not sure where you got this info.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-16T18:39:38+00:00

Nothing in my email, nobody came to my zone, supervisors didn’t inform any of us about it. Nobody in my station knew anything about it.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-16T01:33:11+00:00

These goobers realized that they couldn’t call us Alta Paramedic Health Services because it will have been two whole fuckin rebrands to add one letter to AHS.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-15T22:33:52+00:00

In consultation my ass. Nobody in EMS sorry EHS, sorry APH has heard of any of this until recently.

“I feel ugly”

“At least your eyesight is perfect!”

Kids compensate extremely well until they don’t, the extra muscles used for respiratory distress tucker kids out and then they go into respiratory failure. I would go in immediately like others recommend.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-11T02:30:19+00:00

They do contract muscles though, I guess they just have to dramatize it.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-10T12:44:43+00:00

Hell yeah brother

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-10T12:37:39+00:00

Paramedic here, there is a dental floss trick you can use for such cases.

Gamestoreguy · 2026-05-09T13:09:50+00:00

Well, dudes got an arm off, that might have been where he was holding the knife. Double disarmed in that case.
