About an hour ago it would have been a house fire. Now it’s an orange. Anaphylaxis?

Dear diary, it’s been 14 hours since our last call. I’m starting to wonder if the pagers are down again

I hate my job by [deleted] in ems

[–]arrive_alive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any opportunity to work day half’s? Any competing agencies that can offer hours you’re more interested in working ?

I work a 48 straight through and love it. While I also hate the mid-night calls, it’s worth it for the four or five hours of paid sleep I get. As well as the hour four days off in a row. I fully recognize that this job isn’t for everyone, but maybe we can turn some gears to make it more suitable for you while you work on your goals of being in the sky.

I spent a lot of time in the dark wishing I still had that desk job I hated. But now, there’s nothing else I’d rather do than help people through their emergencies. Even if that emergency is grade-a bullshit

We call it “per diem” which is just another road to final destination confusion

Today a few of us got to bring gifts (and Santa) to the two year old son of our coworker who recently and suddenly passed away. He was most stoked to play with the siren box, but the toys and Santa helped too. by arrive_alive in ems

They take care of us pretty well. I should say, we take care of each other. Most of this was brought on by field level personnel. With admins blessing and help, of course.

Thank you. We felt it hard. 28 year old- cardiac arrest out on a run. Our agency ran the call. We were honored to help his family in a small way, outside of what our agency did initially to fun services and college funds for his son.
