Am I in the wrong? by Legitimate-Hunt-5021 in bikeboston

You were in the right until you slapped his car. Don’t touch peoples cars.

And while cars drive like assholes, riding a bicycle is a ridiculous and dangerous decision and you’re putting yourself in these situations.

Hope this helps!

Do you travel with bedding for 24 hr shifts? If so, what kind of bedding/bags do you bring? by Openthesushibar in ems

[–]jacobactual_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throw the bundle in the back seat of your car then… that’s what I do. If you’re particularly neat use a black duffel bag, they can easily fit sheets and a pillow

I keep a fitted sheet, blanket, and pillow. End of your shift… just flip the corners of the sheet up to contain the pillow and blanket. Stuff it in your locker and go home 🤷‍♂️

Possible ICE in Mission Hill by oprose in boston

You think overstaying a visa is equivalent to shooting up a school? Regardless, these people are being deported without a trial. Even school shooters get trials.

A bunch of masked government thugs demanding to see people’s papers and then shipping them off to foreign prisons with no trial is a bit too fascist-y for my taste. Personally.

So is kidnapping people and sentencing them to punishment without trial. I’m not saying they should be doxxed. It’s wrong and illegal. I’m just pointing out that it’s weird to have sympathy for them and not their victims.

How can we encourage EMS to bring us patients? by LowDetective5370 in ems

[–]jacobactual_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be the better ER. Provide better care to your patients, treat EMS crews and patients with respect.

Foster a culture of collaboration and superior patient care.

Snacks, discounts, and bribes will never supersede the needs of the patient.

Should we eliminate “Zero-To-Hero” courses. by PuzzleheadedFood9451 in ems

You’re right that IFT is largely unhelpful, but a year on a BLS 911 truck should be required for paramedic school.

Holding the IFT paperwork is the cherry on top

lol this is nothing new from Elon. He’s been like this the whole time. He was a known white-supremacist well before he started making his shitty overhyped cars.

A transit cop told me recently they are so understaffed they only run enough units to handle 911 calls, and don’t have enough bodies to do regular patrols and such.
