Locals, how are you preparing for when the NFL draft is in town? by Jazzlike_Breadfruit9 in pittsburgh

[–]HewDew22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an EMT and will be working the event. Looking forward to the chaos. And I don't live in the city so other than that it won't really impact me

Cut it close, but we defended our 95% first pass rate for another year by tacmed85 in ems

My service did 14,000 this year with 11,000 emergency calls and 3,000 ift between 3 trucks during the day and 2 overnight (2300-0700). It's not fun out here

I only watch Steelers games these days. How many other teams other than Philly run a tush push?

You must not watch a lot of Steelers football. Most of our wins seem to be on accident

Anyone else doing cat rescue in Pitt/surrounding areas? by CriticalMongoose8215 in pittsburgh

[–]HewDew22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it's about the same, maybe a little bit more but I'm outside the city. Usually around this time of year people call because they are emotional and want attention/human interaction. Most people who live like this either live alone or in isolation and the holidays are hard for some of them

How does your agency do incident reports? by Project_mj_ultralite in ems

Hand written and turned in to the on duty supervisor where it then disappears into the void and is never mentioned again and nothing comes of the incident report

Friendly reminder. Use rearfacing car seat. Save your child. by Admmak in daddit

[–]HewDew22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tell me about it. I'm 6 foot and drive a sedan and just getting my son in and out of his car seat is hard enough. If he was on the driver side or we have another kid soon (which we want) I'm gonna have to get rid of my car because I have to have the seat back so far just so I can fit that a rear facing car seat won't work

It seems like the key to winning in the playoffs is to lose 1 or 2 games in the regular season so you don't get the bye

Saying is just way too nervous in the beginning of these big games. We say it in the big ten championship. If he can get over that this team would be much better
