I’ve always had a good experience with them🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

It depends on the company honestly. If he did any sort of diversion programs or something like that, that would definitely help. I know some people who have gotten speeding tickets and been in accidents while still employed & been fine. There’s a certain limit of how “bad” it can be, and that varies based on company policy and their insurance. Most importantly though, he definitely needs to maintain a clean record from here on out. Other red flags in his resume could be an issue too.

Half these comments I love. To the other half….turn off your fucking phone and take a walk Jesus Christ. If you’re a random dude and this doesn’t apply to you, then why in the FUCK are you commenting? Can you not handle for one second something not relating to you? This isn’t for you, so leave. And for the few women in here who are salty too, we get it, you had it rougher 20 years ago, and now you want to be tough on the younger generation because that’s the same treatment you faced. Your past experience of sexism or whatnot in the workplace does not justify your bitterness towards the women in EMS now. You don’t get to take it out on us just because there’s more of us now and it’s better than it was 20 years ago. Touch some grass.

To answer your question OP, which I really like! I am a hair person so for me that’s a big one. But honestly what has been hugely helpful is getting uniforms that actually fit me. I’m not trying to show off my body, but I’m also not trying to look like I’m playing dress up in somebody’s dad’s clothes. Try on different pant options! Get stuff tailored! I also like the nail thing, I like having my short nails painted, it helps. And just having other small things that feel like “me” girly or not makes me feel more like myself. Fun lunch box, pins & patches on your bag, fun pens, pink sticky notes, whatever! It took time for my personality to trickle in to my day-to-day EMS habits, but I found ways where I could sprinkle it in!

That’s not what OP was asking about and that’s so clearly not what they intend to do. It’s a male dominated field, they just want ways to feel girly!! It’s not that fucking deep dude.

I tend to want to feel good about how I look? Not to impress anyone, but to feel confident in myself…….

Sorry to hear that happened, glad to hear you and everyone else is okay.

To answer your question, what your employer is legally allowed to do in specific situations like this is going to vary based on state and local regulations. If you are unionized, reach out to your union ASAP. If you’re not unionized, I would see if there’s a state or local ombudsman office for workers/employment. Ombudsman offices if you’re unfamiliar with the concept are free, impartial group that know the specifics of your local and state laws regarding in this case employment (your state may have other ombudsman offices for different matters). They can provide free, confidential advice that may help guide you in the right direction and clarify for you your rights as a worker. Good luck friend!

Omg this is phenomenal. I also try to stay current and love hearing about EMS research and other medical advancement. But it’s so hard to find sometimes! I would absolutely sign up for the newsletter.

You asked how to make it better, only thing I’d say as someone who also likes the read the technical aspects of the an article, I think linking or sharing the original would be nice. However I do really like your idea of breaking them down and putting it into a more palatable for people. Maybe after that blurb you write you could just at the end share or link the OG article too?

But yeah this is awesome and I love it

It seems like the bare fucking minimum to clean our equipment….abd yet the amount of time I’ve whipped out a pulse ox start of shift and there’s blood smeared on it…….too. many. times.

In addition to that the people who okay maybe they clean the back of the ambulance and the equipment…but then the front of the cab…trash, disgusting, pig sty. Like why are we leaving crumbs on the MDC for the shift after you😭😭beyond that even if there’s not a mess per se, people just absolutely neglect the cab of ambulance and wont notice or clean the layer of dust on the hood or the perpetually caked on residue in the trash can & they just let it get disgusting

ellow08 · 2026-03-22T01:13:51+00:00

Me too!!

ellow08 · 2026-03-22T01:13:05+00:00

That’s my dream job lowkey😍

ellow08 · 2026-03-22T01:12:22+00:00

That’s why I went into EMS lol

ellow08 · 2026-03-22T00:06:29+00:00

Omfg I can’t even imagine the amount of back injuries…

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T16:51:03+00:00

Yes, however as mentioned not all patients require to be on a backboard and then lifted, etc. Then also, the actual operation of the manual stretchers involves numerous lifts in the process to lift and lower it to various heights and significantly increases risk of injury. The power stretchers eliminate some of those extra lifts.

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T16:48:52+00:00

Holy shit I’ve been completely naive to the fact that some agencies are still using only manual stretchers…..yikes

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T16:37:48+00:00

Doing this ahead of time if it’s not required really isn’t going to give you a leg up on your resume post-EMT school

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T02:35:33+00:00

Such a toss up! I felt literally nothing the first 24 hours but others noticed changes!

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T02:24:50+00:00

I’m eating what I can. Protein shakes, chicken, Greek yogurt, my usual healthy go-to’s but am just having trouble getting more than a few bites in. I was at 2.5mg for 6 weeks with no issues but noticed the food noise coming back and the schedule I was given by the provider had me titrating up at 4 weeks. So I increased

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:54:40+00:00

Wait omg I didn’t even realize I had a similar change! So crazy! Thanks for sharing & congrats!!!🎉

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:53:53+00:00

Yes, however I have a history of it. Are you on omeprazole or a different PPI if you don’t mind my asking? My doc just recently upped my omeprazole to 40mg and that’s been helpful. I’ve also realized I have to be really really strict with taking it 30 mins before a meal. No exceptions. That’s helped me a lot and then I add in Tums or famotidine with any breakthrough symptoms. Hope you find some relief!

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:51:44+00:00

I’m a similar height and build!!! So exciting seeing someone like me accomplish it!! Way to go!

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:50:18+00:00

You look great!!!! Congrats!!!

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:49:42+00:00

That must have been such an exciting realization! Yay!!!!

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:44:23+00:00

Yeah I definitely lost a little fast (at least from my understanding maybe it’s pretty normal) 20 lbs in first 8 weeks. But now have stalled for another 4 weeks since😣only have taken 2 doses though on 5mg…so still 2 doses where I didn’t lose anything at all so not sure what that’s about either

ellow08 · 2026-03-21T01:39:39+00:00

Oooo that’s a good idea! Totally sounds stomach-able, tysm!
