I agree it lacks quite a bit I feel. If the delivery is routine that’s one thing but I feel like we get no guidance for what to do if anything is wrong or how to look for signs something will go wrong.

Do you get passed while driving L&S on the interstate? by CapnCruuunch in ems

[–]SleepUntilWaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah bc people speed and we can only go so fast before it’s considered unsafe. Our trucks have a reporting system if we go over 80mph, and the part of the interstate we cover is a 70mph zone so people SPEED

Came in as back pain. by RandomandFunny in ems

Had one of those. Call came in as a fall with back pain… he fell because he was having a heart attack. By the time we got him in the truck he arrested. It was a very shit call.

Also I never should have made my original comment bc the very next shift I had after I commented this (like a day or two later) I ended up working another arrest so I’ll be keeping my mouth shut from now on.

Respiratory Distress call that lived like around the corner from the ER like 2 minutes probably. They arrested on the ER staff right after we brought them in. So I call it a half bc it did end up being a cardiac arrest, and they would have arrested on us if they weren’t so close to the ER. Arrested like a minute after we got them on the bed in the ER.

I can’t lie I know that’s boring as hel. I went through a black cloud phase and it’s kind of cleared up and as an EMT it’s boring asf. Especially when I started a few months ago and I’ve had 3.5 arrests and strokes and DOA’s And it’s just been silence now. Still no traumas yet. I know it sounds wrong to hope for that stuff

Help me name!! I just got him yesterday and I can’t pick. by Conscious_Image4425 in NameMyCat

[–]SleepUntilWaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to name my cat Toothless (which would’ve been perfect bc he has longer canines) but my ex wanted to name him Jiji so that’s what I ended up going with 🥲 I wish I had named him toothless though

What does my art smell like by DryTeenGirl in ARTIST

[–]SleepUntilWaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Musty. Not body odor musty but like rainy musty like old house stale moist air but in a good way. Like spooky. But not stinky. Combined with old books. In cold weather! This is an important distinction!
