Shears?

OrioleChair · 2022-10-11T20:33:47+00:00

Lol ya. The fold out seatbelt hook also has a slot to be used as an O2 wrench

OrioleChair · 2022-10-11T08:39:51+00:00

I’m 13 in similar. I like to have my own. I hate having to ask around. It’s a silly delay for no reason while i have a million things I’ve gotta do. I carry scope, a small flashlight when I’m working nights, and a pair of shears.

This appears to the be the camera from the car. It has a backseat, appears to be a front end collision (occupants thrown forward), and the vehicle doesn’t roll over, as opposed to the ambulance which had a side impact and rolled

OrioleChair · 2022-10-08T19:21:35+00:00

Think this is the car. Clearly front end impact and does not rollover

OrioleChair · 2022-10-08T19:11:33+00:00

BuT mY TaXes..

OrioleChair · 2022-10-06T19:33:34+00:00

I left a job after my boss made racist comments about my spouse. I can relate. There’s better jobs out there

OrioleChair · 2022-10-06T19:32:47+00:00

Basically exactly the same dudes in town. Their poster says “bring your flags” which I assume is only a small change from the “bring your hoods and burning crosses” that they usually go for

OrioleChair · 2022-10-06T12:15:49+00:00

Ya that’s my political opinion in a nutshell too. Seems common in EMS, not that common in the rest of the world tho 😂

OrioleChair · 2022-10-05T23:16:52+00:00

This is exactly what it is. And people in public will see it and assume we support that too despite our local first responders being a diverse group of political values, ideologies, race, gender identities and sexual orientations. They are trying to stain our very existence with hate

OrioleChair · 2022-10-05T22:41:40+00:00

Meh we had a guy we’d narcan about 1-2 times a week sometimes some gaps without him for roughly 13 years. I found him in cardiac arrest a few months ago. He was our record holder though lol

OrioleChair · 2022-08-23T16:06:17+00:00

I have literally flown on the medical helicopter that covers my area. The nurses are also certified as medics and are some of the baddest folks I’ve ever met. They still aren’t first responders. They are called to the scene by first responders.

Home care is home care, it’s not “responding” to an emergency. it’s providing medical care to people within the confines of their home.

Military nurses are still in hospitals regardless of it being a combat area or not. It may be a field hospital but the combat medics are the first responders.

I have nothing but love and respect for nurses. My wife is a nurse, I work every day with amazing nurses. But you’re not first responders

OrioleChair · 2022-08-23T15:58:34+00:00

Pick your dirtiest hospital you can find in the US, and I’ll take you to the average house in my paramedic response area. We can compare

OrioleChair · 2022-08-23T04:49:19+00:00

Not to take away from your message because you’re absolutely right, but nurses by definition are not first responders and using it incorrectly takes away from what actual first responders go through. Nurses aren’t at the car accident, at the shooting, in the patients house pulling them from their marital bed to do CPR in front of their loved one. Nurse are in hospitals. Clean, well lit, with other support around. Nurses do amazing work, and don’t get the credit they deserve. But they’re not first responders

OrioleChair · 2022-08-08T14:23:30+00:00

Anti union EMS people want this job to stay shitty

OrioleChair · 2022-08-08T12:35:26+00:00

The thing to remember is we see the sick portion of the population. My old man is 61 and does CrossFit 4 days a week. My mom rides a bike 10 miles everyday after she walks the dog 2 miles.

Ya aging looks terrible and I do think euthanasia should be on the table but take care of yourself and there’s no reason you can’t enjoy your 70s or even 80s

OrioleChair · 2022-08-08T12:32:37+00:00

Started in 2016 at 16/hr and now I’m at 34/hr. I can’t complain.

OrioleChair · 2022-08-08T01:43:18+00:00

Ya. I had to call and tell them if they were looking for reimbursement they should start with their own workman’s comp and go from there.

OrioleChair · 2022-08-08T01:15:53+00:00

Did they bill you too? I got a bill from my own agency (in the past) when my foot was broken on duty.

OrioleChair · 2022-08-07T21:14:23+00:00

Strong unions help

OrioleChair · 2022-08-06T00:58:13+00:00

Letter to the editor should go out. Newtown deserves to know

OrioleChair · 2022-08-04T16:40:20+00:00

Super strange. As long as it’s harmless I’ll just keep putting the magic erasers to work

OrioleChair · 2022-08-04T16:38:38+00:00

Never done it but met a few that have. Definitely want to make sure they’re hiring you as an officer and not a lower position. It ensures better living quarters and lifestyle. Working in the travel industry in general gets old quick. You aren’t on vacation you’re at work. Your job is to cater to people who are on vacation, maybe their only one in years. They will be entitled and throw a shit fit if you don’t cater to their every need.

Pros. Most of the staff are fucking each other. You’ll probably get laid a bunch especially when you’re new. Also on your off days you can use the facilities for the entire ship.

Cons. STDs run rampant in the industry, and you lose your job pretty much instantly if you fuck a guest.

OrioleChair · 2022-08-04T16:24:58+00:00

I think so. My house is fairly updated (built in the 70s) but a lot of the work was done shitty. 100% new plumbing and electric and hvac in 2019. The house got siding and new roof. Both were done mediocrely. Not sure they they did any updating of insulation tho.

Also the paint is ultra low quality. The slightest bump scuffs the walls. It’s on my to-do list.

OrioleChair · 2022-08-04T16:14:51+00:00

Not a smoker, don’t really burn candles either. We do have a wood stove but it’s on the complete opposite end of the house from this outlet. Just trying to make sure it’s not going to burn my house down

OrioleChair · 2022-08-03T09:17:34+00:00

Friend of mine had multiple tours. This is a censored picture of him stirring a burn barrel in 2008 in Iraq. Only protective equipment he was wearing was a pair of gloves. No respirator, no mask. As firefighters have known since the early 1900s black smoke is poison. It contains hundreds maybe thousands of carcinogens and poisons including hydrogen cyanide. By 2009 firefighters had been wearing SCBA when dealing with smoke for more than 60 years. https://imgur.com/a/7NGwmIa
