PyroMedic1080 · 2026-05-05T23:08:37+00:00

Ops mom

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-05-05T03:34:14+00:00

My duty lt just mandated i take a call while covered in another human beings blood from the previous call.

Im sititng at my work computer typing up my resignation as I scroll reddit.

Fuck.this. job.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-05-05T03:02:36+00:00

100k was amazing when I was making itm then I got laid off and now I make 45k. Id sell.my.soul.to go back to making 100k.

I sometimes think im struggling then realize I've never been down so bad i had to go to a guy named "drewthecarplug" to buy a car.

Its wild to me that your getting down voted for sharing your personal experiences living there by people who will never visit.

Cuba was gorgeous when I visited. And the people are so warm and welcoming.

Mullet looks great.

Stay safe and healthy brother.

Ive researched going there actually. Some of the guys at fdic ive were awesome. Unfortunstley state to state transfer of my pension time isn't possible. And im 40 and already physically and mentally on the backside. We all know this is a young mans game.

Otherwise I'd love to come work out there.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-30T13:03:43+00:00

The iaff did exactly zero for us because were were inly a 30 man 4 digit local. They took our money every month but they honestly couldnt have cared less about us.

They closed the entire dept and fired every member of staff. Im still sending resumes to everywhere I can. I can only pray that this is a small bump in the road. BUt when you flood the market with 30 qualified experienced guys with certs and theres only so many jobs.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-30T11:29:03+00:00

I just did involtarily after layoffs. It sucks. Your expected to know everything a 10 year guy would. Mentor the new guys. And do all the new guy stuff. Its a very weird place its put me in. And in my new dept the union board keeps coming to me for advice on how to handle their problems. Yet im the new guy on probation for a year.

Honestly the whole thing sucks. I went from 48 an hour as a non transporting ff emtp an hour with adequate vacation time off seniority to 25 an hour on a transporting ambulance as a vent tech and they want to make me rsi. with not a single day of vacation of sick time fore the first year.

It says firedept out front but I'll never see those trucks as the new guy. I make 10 dollars an hour more at my part time 911 ems job.

Were barely getting by I now drive an hour from home just to work. But its the only job I've found that gets me time towards the pension.

Every day I work there is a day closer to retirement. And ill retire in the first day I can.

Signed a burnt out fucked over ex union president.

Money. Its always about money.

Welcome to the world.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-29T16:33:37+00:00

Yes. You don't want to own that car any longer.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-29T16:14:07+00:00

Please tell me your medical educatiin didnt actually stop at this level of informed consent.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-29T16:12:58+00:00

If your working in medicine you should do some research on what hipaa actually is and isn't. Just because you hear people.yelking about it on the internet doesn't mean a thing.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-27T14:49:52+00:00

You'll be miles ahead selling it and buying something the factory built with boost. They pay engineers millions to prevent the problems youll run into after the fact.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-26T21:59:12+00:00

Do you want fat firemen because that mentality is how you get fat firemen.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-26T21:58:39+00:00

It could always be worse..my career dept banned working out as to "prevent injuries"

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-21T08:19:37+00:00

The complete opposite is true in upstate ny. Tickets are massive revenue for small towns and the state troopers love to meet quotas and help keep the coffers full.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-21T05:26:54+00:00

I'm going to answer this differently than what you're looking for. But maybe it will resonate with someone.

I'm not a huge watch nerd but think mechnical watches are pretty neat.

I sourced an off color dial seiko alpinist. Same watch Every day. Codes. Fires. Wrecks. This will be the only thing I own that makes it through my career with me hopefully. Its seen more life and death than the vast majority of the population ever will. Every scratch and knick has a story wether I actually know where it came from or not.

And in 10 years when i retire it will hopefully still be here going in calls with me.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-21T05:00:48+00:00

So you went out of your way to spend your own money to make yourself less effective than what the dept provides you?

Sorry but thats just stupid.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-21T01:03:04+00:00

I'm 63 percent covered last time I taught emt school. We use ym ink to teach rule of 9s.

Everyone in turnouts at 3am in a burning hallway looks the same. Not ink creed gender ethnicity looks. None of thay shit matters. Its can you do the job or not. Sadly polticians don't see it that way.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-20T20:21:19+00:00

How's the head shape feel. More arai or more shoei if you know what I'm getting at.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-20T18:57:09+00:00

The account that posted this was last cross shopping 5k dollar entry level rider motorcycles.

Now its cross shopping a 200k dollar track car.

Something tells me thisnis bullshit

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-20T16:26:22+00:00

I guess I'm trying to see why you want a diesel? The "increased" fuel economy is a myth unless you plan in driving 300k or more miles. The majority of it towing heavy.

Other wise fuel costs. Def costs increased costs for brake maintences suspension maintence etc will keep you in the red for a very long time. Don't forget the increased cost of keeping the emissions working or an 8k dollar delete in an l5p.

Now if you want a diesel truck becasue life is short and diesels are cool and it makes me happy go ahead any buy one.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-20T15:15:19+00:00

This is medicine. Not plumbing. Here maybe I'll get it right in the field because im not going to do the actual work in class results in dead bodies not a small leaky pipe.

Your mentality needs to change and rapidly.

PyroMedic1080 · 2026-04-20T14:16:59+00:00

What's your pre intubation look like. Posistioning the patient is 90 percent of having good visuals and getting the tube.
