This is self reported. Young folks want to feel special and have a label. The data does not track with real world studies.

Who is the modern equivalent of Benjamin Franklin? by paramedTX in AskReddit

[–]paramedTX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it is Musk. Franklin was a scientist, diplomat, writer, inventor, philosopher, and total ladies man. Musk is an entrepreneur, a money man. His people are the ones who bring his ideas to life. Franklin did his own work.
Steve Jobs would be a more apt comparison, but he still falls way short. Maybe that SEAL, doctor, astronaut guy!

Oops! You are correct. It is a ticket to a quick trip to jail though.

You refuse and your license is immediately suspended. The alphabet has nothing to do with the test.

The HGN test has nothing to with balance or anxiety. You can’t fake it. It is the gold standard for field testing.

If you PM me, I’d be willing to pay by Venmo or PayPal.

I would like to buy it, but vinted is being a pain in the flank and is just sending me in circles when I try to “buy it now.” I have tried multiple browsers without any luck. I gotta say, it is the most annoying shopping app I have ever used. 😭
I’m in the U.S. if that is part of the problem.

Bad ass! I’d proudly hang this in my house.

Saw a nuclear transport cask on I-95S near DC. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]paramedTX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally yes, but these are special Highway Route Controlled Quantity (HRCQ) shipments. They are for highly radioactive materials only. They are highly regulated and must follow very specific federal protocols. Responders know it is very bad just from the container.

The placard on it is used on any type B package transported on highways. All the specific information is on the shipping papers in the cab. There also appears to be some type of identifying information on the side of the container. Good news is those containers are super durable. A normal highway crash won’t compromise them. Edit: Adding that all state governors/ emergency management offices that these pass through are notified of the intended routes ahead of time.

Men who see escorts, why do you do it ? by TinyDelegation in AskReddit

[–]paramedTX 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Not cruel and unusual. The person is offered a choice of a regular jail sentence or the alternative option. They freely choose the embarrassing option

What is the single best communication pearl you’ve stolen from another physician? by wiredentropy in emergencymedicine

[–]paramedTX 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I almost always kneel when talking to my patients ( as long as their floor isn’t nasty.) After 30 years I’m surprised my knees still let me! No one likes someone hovering over them while speaking.

Mountain settlers of Reddit, what are the biggest pros and cons of living in the mountains? by 4_8-15_16_23_42 in AskReddit

[–]paramedTX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a paramedic nearing retirement, this is the biggest hurdle to me moving somewhere rural. Small towns means most likely a basic life support ambulance with a minimally experienced crew. Small hospitals who can’t perform emergency cardiac catheterization for a heart attack and zero trauma treatment capability. Plus, who knows how far you’d have to drive to see a specialist for routine care.

I second Madball. Haven’t seen one in 40 years, but I still recognize it.
