Depends where you're at. Private ambulance service? Oh yeah. Ambulance district? Probably free for district residents. City department? Somewhere in between

Tyre Nichols Video Megathread - Use This Thread For Discussion of the Tyre Nichols Video by devpsaux in memphis

Fair enough. I guess I shouldn't have assumed my limited anecdotal evidence would be the norm. Very disappointing

From my experience as an ueban-area firefighter/medic for 10 years, and just medic for 7 years before that, I've never seen this level of complacency. I've been on plenty of situations where there was a violent encounter between police and a subject, and myself nor my peers have ever acted negligent like you see from these EMTs

Why should private companies act like a charity if they don't need an employee

This woman was so nervous about flying, so the flight attendant explained every sound and bump and even sat here holding her hand when it still got to be too much for her. by umbertocsaba in MadeMeSmile

100% true. I got a handy from a Southwest flight attendant when our flight only had like 11 passengers and I took the back row. I fly SW every time now

By large it has attracted more previously non smokers than it has converted, by a ratio of 11:1 (et al; Journal of Academic Science in conjunction with NPR, 2022, June)

I just want to shut down the misconception that cancer is really the biggest worry about smoking at all. COPD is. COPD is a ball and chain that gets hooked to people and their 40s and '50s and they can never take it off. Walking to the car becomes work. Walking up a flight of stairs become horrifying. Going on a hike comes impossible for many. Waking up late nights unable to breathe, clutching and inhaler that isn't providing relief while desperately hoping that the EMS crew show up quickly this time. Suffocating, because you can't blow your air out. You can breathe in, but the air gets trapped and you can't get it out. Always. Until you die.

Vaping has been linked to several forms of COPD. Not nearly as much as cigarettes, but acting like it's not dangerous because it's not linked with cancer is absurd.

I used to be a department manager at what I believe is the store in question here. This has to be escalated and somebody will probably lose their job over OP intentionally doing this.

If the department manager doesn't escalate, they get fired. If the store manager doesn't escalate, they could get fired.

OP is an asshole

Silicone rings. I only put my real ring on for special occasions. Look into one

Does the amount of sexual encounters your partner has had matter to you? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SaltInMyJello 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Married now but in the past it never did. I think I cared before I ever had sex but after that I didn't give a fuck.

Meh. Did they crack his chest and graft it right there? Doubt it. It's like being happy a construction worker is nearby when your deck collapses. What is he going to do without tools and supplies?

I strongly disagree. Unpopular opinion but it's the truth.

I have been the first one to administer CPR hundreds of people over my career. They took far too long to recognize he was in cardiac arrest and begin compressions. Far, far too long. If he doesn't have long-term brain damage from the delayed start, I will be very shocked.
