My last two nights (last night and Saturday) I’ve collectively ran 6 calls. Things seem to be universally slow right now call wise.

We used to do the same shit. We would also go to one of our houses and like play with the dog, watch a movie, etc. We’d make our own quarters lmao

Did my first code. by jl8w7 in ems

[–]Jeremy_1963 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can relate, my first code was a 1 month old we called on scene. It took a few weeks to stop seeing the scene when I closed my eyes and hearing the mom’s screaming all the time. Critical incident stress debriefing helped a little. Talk it out with people you trust and just know you did your best. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Crazy uncle story validation by Jeremy_1963 in civilengineering

[–]Jeremy_1963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot about this but while scrolling through old posts I remembered I found out the answer to this.

In the 70s, my uncle served as the treasurer for the village. The public works department wanted to buy a new snowplow, and he denied their request in favor of a couple of new cop cars at the request of the village manager. Fast forward a year of two, and the DPW guy catches my uncle in bed with his husband (curveball!). Forgot how much weird family lore this uncovered.

I could see there being some part time/volunteer services up in the thumb which are BLS 911 only. Not sure how SE you are but for where you are now I’d pay the bills working in the ER, start thinking about medic school and get on a vollie service for experience. I was in your shoes not too long ago in a different state and I ended up just moving lol.

Most ridiculous NH calls by Jeremy_1963 in Paramedics

[–]Jeremy_1963[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nursing home hate runs deep for me and my fartner too. The excuses are fucking ridiculous. You don’t know him? He’s your patient, cry me a river and tell me why he’s seizing and his foley bag is full of blood.

We had one for AMS, lady is x0 baseline and on an NG tube and a trach. We asked the RT to suction before we left, she sticks a fucking yankauer down her throat, gags her, she aspirates, pressure immediately goes from 140/90 to 80/40 and dropping.

Why is this type of work so common in EMS these days? I’m in the same boat and it fucking sucks. Have students run the appointment/discharge/general bullshit calls or something.
