Every Now And Then I Have To Gently Explain To A Nurse That The Reason I Can't Ignore A Patient's Refusal

buddy, I've had to tell people to wash their hands after taking a piss.

people on my covid post are calling me a freak for saying it’s disgusting to cough into open air/your hands then touch shit. well if that’s being a freak i don’t want to be normal!

Playing a dangerous game by trying to eat my spaghettios while my coworker, who is notorious for turning us all into flight medics, drives to the next call

The spaghettios are too hot to eat. Will the EMT finish her lunch in time? Will she arrive clean? Will the nurse give a decent report? These are the burning questions with which I must grapple

Hospital staff stop walking out in front of the moving stretcher challenge

If you live in an area with multiple hospitals within a small radius (I'm talking within a 30-40 minute drive), it's good to take the time to look up what hospitals offer what services.

Hospital A might be 10 minutes away, but it doesn't have a cath lab, so they won't be as helpful if you have a heart attack. Hospital B that's 20 minutes away does.

Some hospitals offer better prenatal care. Some are better for physical trauma. Ambulance crews are taught to know which hospitals are most appropriate for emergencies, but it's good to know who does what

you may have been spared the olive smell, but RIP to your coffee

We make a lot of sacrifices on the boo boo bus, but they never warned me about this 😭

You know, people call me paranoid for masking with every patient, but I can't tell you how many times I've had nurses come up to me to tell me my transfer patient has covid AFTER I already got them on my stretcher.

Today's vibe is fantasizing about kidnapping your coworkers and forcing them to watch several hundred hours of cross-contamination prevention seminars
