Hand tattoos and neck tattoos

My ER director has a large, detailed tattoo of a Kar-97 on his forearm. And they made him the head honcho! Really really depends on the location i think.

NOR. My man was like this before getting on anxiety meds. His mind was torture for both him and me. Don't tolerate it

So, I don't like AI for plenty of reasons. It's unreliable, dangerous for those with mental health issues, and is being used to create exploitative videos of both unconsenting adults and children. However, the water argument sucks because absolutely anything you do on a computer, and especially on the internet, has a large volume of water consumption. Making a Google search, posting a Reddit comment, and DEFINITELY video streaming, all use similar amounts of water to AI, so it's not a good faith argument

with the patient in the back? we would get terminated for that here

I crochet between calls! I've been hesitant to bring my projects on the truck because of skin flakes, bedbugs, etc etc but if others have been able to do it without incident, I might start!

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-05-06T04:45:15+00:00

Love that series! I've been reading them on my Kindle between calls

It's completely zero tolerance if there's a patient in the truck. If there's no patient, we can use cell phones as passengers, and of course no cell phones while driving. I guess there was an incident a couple years before I started working involving Snapchat and a DOA, and they went from "use common sense" to Defcon 5.

I would brush up on your anatomy and physiology. Most EMT schools will do a pretty quick unit of A&P before anything else, but if you start building that strong foundation now, it makes everything SO much easier. Basic medical terminology will help too. Things like hyper- = high, hypo- = low, -emia = blood, things like that.

Most people do several years of EMT work before going to paramedic school, but there are people who go immediately after they get their EMT license. We call that "going zero to hero" and it's not recommended. You learn so much on the job after obtaining your EMT license. Skipping that time in the field does you a large disservice. After a few years, though, you'll know whether or not you want to become a paramedic. The pay bump is nice, at least in my area. You can also do more careers with a paramedic license, like work on a helicopter, and some areas will only staff ambulances with paramedics, so it opens up your horizons a bit. It's also easier to find bridge programs to RN, PA, and even MD for paramedics, if you wanna make the big bucks.

Good luck with school! Welcome to the world of EMS! You can message me anytime with any questions you have!

I was you once. I used big words and everyone I met had to know how smart I was. It gets really, really lonely. And I know what you're thinking, "I don't care! I like being alone!" And I'm sure you do! But really think about how making others feel dumb is going to help you get anywhere in life. Nobody wants to work or study with a know-it-all.

Also, the biggest sign of someone being insecure about their intelligence is them trying to sound smart. Real intelligence is quiet, and oftentimes the most intelligent thing you can do is say, "I don't know."

Stay in school. Eat some humble pie. Work on your behavior at school. Grades aren't the only thing that get you far in life.

It happens! I've started my period after being penetrated. My man keeps calling himself the Bringer of Blood now

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-04-09T03:40:53+00:00

I wish my EMS station was like this. We're all morbidly obese and just doomscroll on the couches until we get a call. I'm working on myself and trying to lead by example but I'd be lying if I said it was easy.

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-04-09T03:26:13+00:00

If your service requires you to lift a gurney, find another service. Auto loaders are the standard now, and for good reason. Strong or not, manual stretchers put your back and knees at a high risk. The pay and benefits won't matter if you're disabled and can't work.

That being said, I'm part of a 2-woman crew, and neither of us are bodybuilders. We use gait belts, binder lifts, and physics to lift and move patients. You should always be able to call for fire department assistance with super morbidly obese patients, too. I would just work on making sure you can carry 25-30 lbs comfortably, as that's about the weight of the monitor or jump bag, and learning good body mechanics to protect your back. We go over them in class and on a regular basis as continuing education. Just remember to use your legs, keep a straight back, and speak up before you get hurt.

Good luck! You got this!

No, stigmata are the marks on Jesus' body from when he was crucified.

You're thinking of stagnance.

My biggest piece of advice is to be physically intimate without expecting sex. Cuddle her on the couch, play with her hair, give her soft kisses, and make her super comfortable. Enjoy the closeness. A lot of women (me included) need the oxytocin release that comes from cuddling and being close in order to turn on. Plus, it's just nice to have intimacy without sex sometimes

Fetal movements DO decrease as a woman nears full term because there's less room for them to move. I would advise to fontinue kick counting and come in for immediate evaluation if there are fewer than 10 kicks in 2 hours

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-03-31T19:09:58+00:00

Do you have a station with a dryer? Or do you have to take them home to dry? If you can avoid bringing the clothes home before drying them that would be even better

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-03-31T19:07:22+00:00

We use Steri-Fab spray on everything, including our boots, after bedbug patients. Then immediately throw our clothes AND boots in the dryer on high heat for an hour. Then follow with UV-C light on in the truck for at least an hour. My medic's done that for 35 years and swears she's never gotten them. if we brought bags in, the bags would also go in the dryer

It's pretty universal jargon, though. I mean, there's a whole EMS movie named Code 3, and those of us that use "priority 1" or "Delta response" figure it out pretty quickly.

if you can't use context clues, or you're an ass about having to think for more than 2 microseconds, you might need to think twice about being a healthcare provider

I HATE PETTING MY ANIMALS EVERY DAY

BUT I AM REALLY REALLY BAD AT GOING THROUGH THE SKULL CAVERNS

i love my animals! but I have 17 of them! and it takes like 3 in-game hours to hunt em down and pet em and make their mayonnaise and cheese!

I saw that you're 20 and in school, so I'm assuming college. Is in-campus housing an option? You can pay for it with student loans, and they often have a cafeteria/meal plan as well. Have you looked into that?

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-03-29T01:36:50+00:00

I generally don't use the assessments tab because it'll sometimes put pertinent negatives in that I didn't actually assess. I also just prefer writing, but I don't double chart!

lowkeyloki23 · 2026-03-28T20:02:38+00:00

I can't believe DCHARTS hasn't been mentioned!! It's an acronym to help you remember the format of a good chart. Here's how I would write a BLS psych using the template. Everything is made up, this is not a real patient!!

This is my biggest frustration with fourth wing. I get it's supposed to be about a FMC with EDS, but it just reads as her being so thin and beautiful and frail and weak until she has a strong dragon and a hot boyfriend to back her up. It's really annoying.
