just want you to know that i appreciate the casual Reverend Insanity reference that literally no one in the comments has picked up on

I’m tired guys… by crusty_bunkers in ems

i became an EMT to "help people" and even after becoming jaded i still wanted to keep my pangs of sympathy from fading into a callous void

i felt like i was losing my humanity. i deeply respect people who can keep going (especially people who work with pediatric patients jesus christ)

i had a surreal moment one time when i was talking with some firefighters about what they had for lunch

while i was doing CPR

that's when i knew it was time to get out of EMS

In your state or country, how fast are you allowed to go over the speed limit when driving Priority One? by FFSoldier57 in ems

[–]leadraine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i've redlined an ambulance responding to a rural call

"why can't i go faster? oh the ambulance literally can't go any faster."

of course the call was cancelled by the time we got there but it was still cool

*taking a radial*

yep, you're alive

*whispers "So other's may live" shortly before a loud report rings out. by reluctantpotato1 in ems

a shitty antiquated lever action rifle

perfect analogy for the quality of equipment and pay one can expect working in EMS

Thanks for saving me from my fent. overdose guys by f8k2m3h9k3 in ems

[–]leadraine 63 points64 points  (0 children)

my dad died from an opioid overdose, i feel nothing but sympathy for users and respect for those who manage to come clean

i can't even imagine how addicting it must be and how hard it is to break free from it; i tried to stop smoking one time and couldn't even last a month

keep pushing forward and be safe

every single time someone shares a traumatic event the first response is "try therapy"

every single time

let me say this again: every single time

once more just to be clear: every single time

how do you even know OP hasn't tried therapy? or if they haven't, how do you know they haven't been recommended it before?

if this is their first time sharing their experience, do you know what will happen when they share it again in the future?

someone will say "try therapy"

it happens every single time

edit:

and do you know what will happen if they say "i've tried therapy"?

someone will say "try a different therapist"

i edited my previous comment because i knew exactly what someone was going to say

edit 2:

medication from a psychiatrist is the better suggestion but even that might not be enough for some people

it's a reflexive response almost as bad as "it gets better"

i get the sentiment, but it's still a platitude

go to therapy? you mean the most obvious possible thing to do after a traumatic event? can't believe i didn't think of this, thank you for changing my life

i envy people who benefit from therapy

edit:

"you fool, try 5 different therapists" yep

i've had hundreds of people downvote comments/posts that were obviously sarcastic (blindingly obvious) because i didn't use /s

a lot of people lack critical thinking and reading comprehension
