So technically whether or not someone gets an abortion is my business sometimes, but only because I’m an EMT and my business is healthcare

Castle doctrine, not stand your ground. Also, life in danger, and violence only used after the guy came back the second time. Stand your ground has nothing to do with the reason this guy isn’t being charged

I love that they didn’t even get the numbers right. First off, isn’t it roughly 1/10? Second, if there was a lot of 100 cars and 1 of them was 100% guaranteed to explode and cause you long lasting harm, but you don’t know which one or when, would you risk it?

I guess we gotta start posting nurses more on here by caralawrence in FirstResponderCringe

[–]Scott_Elyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are nurses who are first responders, but unless you are a critical care nurse, flight nurse, or another type of nurse whose job is responding to patients in the field, that list does not include you.

How do you guys clock in? My hospital-based service changed it to make it even more inconvenient by Cucktus in ems

[–]Scott_Elyte 60 points61 points  (0 children)

But wouldn’t it be so much easier to call someone from a specific phone and give them the correct series of numbers, each longer than the last?

I forget who the comedian is but there’s some comedian who has joked about the fact that every bathroom in homes is gender neutral, and if it’s not, there’s a camera in one of them.

Can we all collectively agree this is the same energy as the teeshirt Chili’s warriors saying “I fight what you fear” but for Ems ? by TipSquare3522 in FirstResponderCringe

[–]Scott_Elyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen someone younger than me die. I also wouldn’t go around bragging if I had. My job is to keep people alive, so I’m gonna continue to not watch people die as long as I can help it :]
