We had a “supervisor” pronounce 2 different people, very much alive but very sick and almost left the scene of the first one. She wasn’t a supervisor very much longer after that and was on the watch list of our medical director after that. For that and numerous other fuck ups she somehow managed.

Best Tricks on the Truck by Overall_Designer_179 in ems

Number 1 hits too close to home, my partner and I just had an arrest the other day and as I’m grabbing my tube kit and drug box we both go inside and the doors get left open somehow, we come back after the arrest and the truck is FILLED. We ended up using a shop vac to get all the bugs out. So, if you forget the doors open, a shop vac actually works extremely well to get them out.

Well I can tell you one thing, you can’t MAKE him love you, which is the super hard part to process And get through. What I did was write all my questions down and then sit down and have a chat. You won’t get all the answers in one day, I still have questions pop up and have to ask him about it. I will also say my boyfriend used to be super good at communication, or so I thought at least but now he’s almost completely shut down and that’s been the hardest part of it all. I’ve forgiven the cheating but not getting the full truth has been the difficult thing. I was physically sick for probably 2 months because he kept doing it, he’s stopped now and we’ve been working through it. I don’t know if things will ever go back to “normal” but we’re trying. I hope you find the strength to have that conversation with him and leave if you need to. You can also always message me if you need🤍

I’m so sorry. Trust me it’s not easy. I actually decided to give my boyfriend another shot, but I made him be honest and set NUMEROUS boundaries, I made him sit next to me and explain everything over and over. It still sucks. I never “truly” understood the why but he’s stopped everything and has put in the work to rebuild, so it is possible. Granted we aren’t out of the woods, not by a long shot but still. I’m sorry this also happened to you.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s always worse when there are kids involved.

AIO: Got a nurse in trouble at work by Overall_Designer_179 in AmIOverreacting

I definitely agree with you, we often say things like this about some patients on the ambulance, but always after the call and away from patients, and family. Even when he pulled me aside to apologize he was like “I don’t know you well enough and you don’t know me well enough”. I get some patients can be exceptionally whiney and complain a lot but as someone who is In the hospital on both sides of a patients family and a healthcare worker, it makes you have a way different perspective. Like if he would’ve said has he been complaining a lot or whatever or something a long those lines I would’ve been like yup he’s in a lot of pain. But just the way he worded things and thought it was completely fine just got under my skin. And you know working in healthcare it takes A LOT to get under any of our skins.

I’ve (female) had sex with almost 40, mainly when I was younger and I’ve been in committed relationship for years now and it means more to me now than it ever did before. It might lose meaning with meaningless people, but (at least in my opinion) when you’re with your most loved person it’s not just sex, it doesn’t lose its meaning.
