Emstrogren - This Blog Is HIPAA Compliant

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!

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

Me, looking through the worms I dug up:

"Alright, only one of you can crawl into my ear canal and you better get me put in charge of the board of health after"

Every now and then I have to gently explain to a nurse that the reason I can't ignore a patient's refusal for transport is that I would prefer not to go to jail for kidnapping.

One of the more difficult things to deal with as a patient advocate is that for some reason the hospitals and staff are usually not very happy when you have to advocate for the patient. Hmm.

I'm EMS we're taught to look out for our partner, and double check them to make sure we're not forgetting any crucial steps when providing patient care.

I put this into practice a lot by asking Jim if he washed his hands whenever he comes out of the bathroom.

Got in the truck today and it smelled inexplicably like olives.

I don't know why it smelled like olives.

I didn't find any olives.

I didn't even like olives.

But either way I wasn't having it.

So now the truck smells like bleach.

I can see the memo now

"in light of recent events, please remember to wear appropriate PPE when handling patients. In addition, please refrain from using the term 'rawdogging' in reference to our patients, particularly when friends and family are present. If you have any questions, please reach out to your supervisor for further direction."

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

The amount of times I have to remind coworkers to wear GLOVES with patients is way too high
