EMT fag on the job. Ask me anything.
Are you on the job?
no one gives a shit you fucking cunt
scariest call you have ever responded to
>actually sitting in the back with no patient
confirmed probie
Do you regret your career choice? I mean, saving a life? More like destroying every rib in an old decrepit persons chest, prolonging their suffering.
>>672433492
No, I just like sitting in an ambulance.
>>672433622
Active shooter. Didn't know where he was, just had to work on my patient
>>672433627
Just got done cleaning the back after a call. Been on the job 4 years
should I do it?
I've been planning on getting my EMT-B. was pre med in college but said fuck that and became an alcoholic sleep tech instead. but that was way too boring. I like all the nuts and bolts of medical work. I think people are liars and shits. worth it to try?
>>672433996
>what is "not being retarded and drawing up a DNR" for 500, alex
>>672433996
Nope. They don't live half the time anyway. Once you die, you usually stay dead.
>>672434336
This guy's git it right.
What level of emt?
>>672433068
dont have any questions really but i want to say thanks for what you do. Have enormous respect for EMT/ Firefighters.
>>672433068
go be a medic bitch..
>>672434114
If low pay, long night, little social life, and hard work are things you're OK with. I love it, but it's hard for some people.
do you pack your own lunches to work?
what was the worst call you've had?
like, one that you really hated?
>>672434536
Emt-A
>>672434634
So I can be a whiny faggot? Fuck that
Have a friend that is a paramedic. She said you'd be surprised how many calls they get for people getting things stuck in their ass.
Any good ass object stories?
>>672433068
actually i'll quit shit talking.. what kinda of area are you in? i'm in the south suburbs of chicago. 99% black.. so yeah. lots of trauma lol
>>672434924
whats emt-a
we only have B I and P where i'm at
>>672434955
I'm in the #2 crime city in America. New Orleans
>>672435171
haha badass .. lots of fun then
>>672435098
It's like an I. The NREMT replaced I with A
whats the funniest thing you've ever heard of that had to be removed from someones asshole
>>672433068
What do you do for suicides? The other night an anon on here posted himself w a thingy in his car for the exhaust to kill himself. A lot of people tried calling 911. Have you ever had a situation like that? Have you ever saved an actual an hero?
>>672435408 bump
>>672434651
>no social life
It's Saturday night and I'm on fucking 4chan, dude.
>>672433068
Niggers in your job ?
sup anon
i have my EMT but i'm not working as one yet
i imagine you've seen some hairy shit out there. how do you/your coworkers deal with stress?
>>672436042
kek
>>672436131
employees? nope.. "customers" 100%
>>672433068
wenn ist das nunnnstuck gott und slotermyer?
What is the dumbest injury you have seen?
>>672434114
Well I guess you're shit out of luck because EMT-B is nolonger recognized by national registry. Its all EMT now at that level.
EMR
EMT
EMT-A
EMT-I (Still NR Recognized in VA until 2019)
EMT-P
EMT-P Critical Care
>>672437570
theres two types of certifications. my emt p isn't recognized by national registry until i test for national registry. i'm only state certified.
>>672437570
okay well then can I just take whatever test I think I'll pass? I'm really not trying to pay $9000 for some full course load and end up with an EMR
>>672436852
JA BIERHERHUND ODER DIE FLIPPENWELDT GERSPUCHT!!!
>>672436762
How old are you, emt fag ?
Why isn't anyone asking the real questions? How many patients have you molested in your ambulance while they were drugged/unconscious.
>>672433068
whats it pay? what kind of schooling you need for that shit?
>>672433068
do you think I could get away with self-study and taking the certification exam, then hooking up with local EMS to do my field hours? in my state you have to enroll in an EMS program through the community college and fuck me if I have to take bio AGAIN. I've got a BA and already took the full premled course load
>>672438756
if you saw the ratchet-ass hoes that are the clientele of a typical amberlamps, your dick would retract into your body out of fear
>>672439674
but my hands wouldn't, plus they're already gloved
>>672433068
What is narcan?
>>672440236
basically stops your opioid receptors working for a moment. opiates slow your respiration (depressant) to the point that you just stop breathing
>>672440822
How long does it last? Also, is it true that in that sober state, people can reject medical treatment?
>>672433068
got any gory photos for us
>>672441063
less than 30 minutes.. heroin has a longer half life.. also yes. i've had gun shot victims refuse treatment.
Have you seen people die ?
What do you feel ?
>Sorry for my shit english
>>672441614
as long as you do everything you can you wont feel bad. people die. you cant always save them
>>672438959
Why no answer to this anon's question?
Firefighter/EMT here, private ambo or fire based?
>>672442646
schooling is usually 4 months for emt b then 1 year for emt p pay varies. private ambulances dont pay shit.. like less than 30 a year.. fire departments pay a lot more. you can get up to 6 figures
>>672442646
Not OP but I can answer. Pay depends on where you are (If your service is union or not, etc), but it usually starts out barely better than burger-flipping, but if you climb the ladder you can eventually make a decent middle class income. As for school, the initial EMT course is usually a 4-6 month thing you can take at most community/technical colleges. There's also certifications, and more school to be a paramedic.
OP here. Got a call of a heroin OD, and about to go on an unconscious.
Pay here is $16.14/h. Best I've seen in the 2 States I worked in. EMT-B is an EMT with the national registry.
>>672443224
OP here again. This is 100% true. 4-6 months for EMT and most places start around $10-$12/h. Unless you become a firefighter
>>672442929
City 911. Fire and EMS is separate
>>672439554
No, a certified program is required to take the exam.
Firefighter EMT here. Since OP isnt posting stories I will.

Shall I post more?
>>672433068
Nick?
>>672444228
we can go story for story lol
>>672443845
That's some bullshit pay. Deserve much more from the start, especially since it's so damn expensive to get a ride in one.
>>672444573
The pay is fair considering you're sitting on your air conditioned fat ass most of the day.
i'll do one..
>call tones out for gun shot victim
>start responding FD asks us to expedite
>apparently shot in the face
>this FD is notorious for being retarded
>still though, hear shot in the face, start driving like 90

>>672444772
fuck your air conditioning doesn't work 99% of the time. what do you do asshole. vote for bernie?
>>672444772
I sit in air conditioning on my fat ass all day too. But receive much more money, with almost zero risks.
Here is another one.

Should I post more? I'm not getting replies so I'm not sure if they are even being read
so you faggots think this would be a good thing to go to school for real quick?
>>672446841
Vegas? I use to work for AMR. you Amr or medicwest?
have you ever killed someone on accident
>>672446485
the basic test? really simple. first time pass no problems.
>>672447054
Depends on the person. This job is attracts a certain type of person. At least the fire/ems side, private ambulance seems to be full of all sorts of feminazi liberals which you wont see in the fire service. This job will change your life. It will have an ever lasting impact on who you are. It will change the way you see other people and the world. You will begin to dislike normal people for the most part. Especially people who bitch about their retail job when they have a "bad day". This job isn't for everyone. Do ride alongs and decide for yourself.
>>672447256
nah i would love to work for them though ha
>>672447042
MOAR!
Sounds like you're already heading towards burnout OP. You okay bro?

You get lots of pussy though, right?

I could, but I'm a committed relationship and have been for 4 years, but I get the random girl hitting on me who I went to school with or all the women who hit on me when we do events.
>>672448123
Are you talking about the guy green texting or OP? There are 2 story tellers in this thread. Maybe 3.
>>672448186
Not OP, that's the funny thing. EMS doesn't get hero-tail the way firefighters/police/military do. At least not in the US.
>>672448613
police and military dont get tail.. thanks liberals.
>>672435171
Hey I live in New Orleans. Ambulances are like taxis here. Not OP by the way.
>>672448324
Not OP but also an EMT and why would anyone care if you're diabetic?
>>672434557
Not OP, but I'm a paramedic. Don't thank us. More than 3/4 of these asswipes have think they are Cops/Doctors. Muh Hero worship. Don't enable it.

>Karma really is a bitch
>Pic related, its the wreck
>>672448829
i dunno, it just seemed like something that would ban me from being an emt. don't they do blood tests and so on before hand to check for the beetus and scurvy and whatever else
>>672433068
Most common situation you are called to?
Shootings, Heart attacks, Bathroom slips?
>>672449246
If you arent a firefighter/PM shut your mouth. Medics never are in any sort of risk aside from being in a call then all of the sudden wasnt secure anymore, which might not be a problem if you were a firefighter and not some manlet medic
>>672449364
The blood test is for tuberculosis. If you don't have any Oregon Trail diseases and can do stairs without dying, you're probably good.
>>672449437
yeah youre right i've never been held at gunpoint...
>>672449437
lol what a faggot
OP here. Sorry about all the time between posts. Busy night. No green text but a story from just now.
Picked up a woman for abdominal pain. She's acting crazy as hell. Humping the floor. Screaming about Jesus. Being a total cunt.
Put her in the stretcher and she starts thrashing around.
We strap her ass down and pull the belts as tight as we can.
By the time we get to the hospital, belts are loose and sgesgot her dress around her waist.
Take her inside still acting like a cunt. Making a scene in the ED.
Shits on my bed.
I've never been so happy to get someone into a room.
>>672449437
I am a firefighter/paramedic. And not in some small town. 4th largest city in the US bitch. The people in this field is what embarrasses me the most. Paramedic is the lesser of two evils, that's why I introduce myself as such if asked what I do.
>>672449567
sweet, that works for me. i figured that being a diabetic would bar me from it. seems like i might have a go at it. i've always been good at medical stuff, but working as a nurse never really appealed to me and i'm looking for something with a bit more of an adrenaline rush these days
>>672449602
If you are serious that's sad, but if you are sarcastic you probably handled it like a bitch. 2 guys at my department got held at gun point and the guy was acting tough so the medic who is buff as shit and wasnt the one with the gun at his head said" Go ahead and shoot. You know how much fucking trouble your dumbass is going to be in if you do that?"
The guy smartened up and dropped the gun and got raided by swat and is still in prison for it. EMTs are just envious that cops and firefighters get hero worshipped and they don't because they deal with dialysis patients and fallen old folks all day
OP
We take risks. Biggest is just driving to/from calls. Fucking people can't drive when they see lights. Other than that, I've been punched a few times. Shot at. But nothing where my life was too in danger
>>672449967
go for RN youll make waaaaaaay more money.
>>672449891
Chicago Fire medic? So you are stuck on an ambulance all day and never get to do real hero shit?
>>672449967
Do it, if you're already a nurse the class and exam should be cake.
>>672450122
i know it's more money, but is it really that much more? you think it'd worth it? this would basically be a second career for me and i'm still new at getting all the info together
>>672450122
And wipe granny ass.
>>672433068
Previous EMT fag here, now a RNfag. What state/county are you in?
>>672450313
EMT makes shit. Paramedic makes shit for almost the same amount of schooling as a nurse and nurse make like 70k starting here in vegas.
>>672450228
no, not a nurse. i worded that strangely, my bad. i meant i like the medical field and i'm pretty good at it (from tests and classes and whatnot) but i'm not sure if i could handle working as an rn
>>672450313
Go for an ER job as a nurse if you want a rush. More money and still saving cucks
>>672450343
nope. thats what lpr's are for.
>>672433068
In class now to be an EMT to work with my father running medical for concerts, any advice that you have for a student?
>>672450533
this guy knows whats up
>>672450035
I'm the original poster of this>>672449246
I don't what the Fuck this anon is talking about>>672449602
Still stand by what I said however, most of you firefag/paramedics are sad. Work for free(volunteer), when you're out of work still talk about the job, where gear. Just as bad as military people.
>>672450035
cool story bro. can you include some more dragons and super powers next time.
>>672450486
>>672450533
huh, i never thought about er nurse. that might be a decent direction for me to head. thanks for the advice, i'll look more into it
>>672450210
Houston.Google you ignorant fuck
>>672450750
I agree some folks are like that, mostly vollys though, the career guys I know dont talk about their job outside or work for the most part.
>>672450691
testing sucks and is nerve racking but get use to it cause thats all youll be doing for a while. Get that 80 percent passing grade. Have fun in clinicals.
>>672450750
might inspire more hate from a bernie supporter. but i'm a cop/paramedic/infantry sgt.
i'm not looking for hero worship.. just thought it was shitty the way you said our job is 100% safe..
>>672450691
Study the books and do as many practicals as possible. Then forget it after the test and learn what you agency wants
>>672451133
>people ask about our job
>we talk about our job
>fag why you talk about your job
wut
>>672451133
SOME folk are like that? 9/10 of them man. Fuck that gets irritating. They literally live for it. Then wonder why their wives leave them/cheat on them. We have 3 times the divorce rate of the average person.
>>672433068
you ever had to deal with fuel burn patients?
i had to deal with em back in concord when that plane crashed into the mall that emergency will truly test your guts and comitment to being a emt.
>>672451575
>Then wonder why their wives leave them/cheat on them. We have 3 times the divorce rate of the average person.
Yeah that couldn't be the PTSD, social withdrawl, ridiculous schedules and hate for people outside of this business many of us have huh?
>>672433068
Always thought this was cool.
>>672451376
Who in the blue hell said the job was safe? Christ. Read dumbfuck.
OP
I hate people knowing that I'm an EMT outside of my job or on /b/. Everyone wants you to be their doctor. I have a bunch if EMS shirts because they give that shit out like candy at every event. I can't stand this people that walk around like their the shit because their a first responder. Volunteers are the worst. I did my time on a volly truck, but I was never "that guy"
>>672451910
umm you did. ..
"Medics never are in any sort of risk aside from being in a call then all of the sudden wasnt secure anymore, which might not be a problem if you were a firefighter and not some manlet medic
forgot?
>>672451983
You're probably one of those fags who thinks a crackheads life is as valuable as anyone else. First Responders do shit most cant. So that attitude is justified
>>672451983
one time this chick called me saying her and her bf were having sex and the couldnt find the condom after.. 4 am i dont give a shit.. she calls back later.. 3 days later... telling me it fell out of her vagoo... what.
>>672451730
Nah, I've had burns from house fires, steam, electrical, and even a sun burn but no fuel burns
You should just let someone die sometime instead of saving them. No one will ever know.
>>672451762
It's a job.It sucks sometimes.Bad. But once I'm off, it stays at work. It's not a war zone, calm the Fuck down.
>>672452342
yeah. work is work. its whatever.. if you bring it home you cant do this job
>>672452070
Wasn't me buddy. That was a response to one of my comments
>>672452291
Depending on what killed them, they might find out during an autopsy/investigation.
>>672452280
aircraft fuel burns are something else, wish you the bext of luck and hope you never have to encounter em.
if anyone is curious about when i did http://www.contracostatimes.com/ci_16914081
Do you ever take liberties with your young patients?
>>672452188
Nope. I don't think any lives matter. I save then because I get paid to. And I know a lot of people who are first responders who feel the same way. I just can't stand an arrogant prick. No matter what job they do.
>>672452535
then my mistake. i was responding to that comment orignially
>>672452502
>>672452342
You guys clearly have not been in this business long.

Not into that, but I've heard stories. and most if the time, parents are in the back with them.
>>672452833
never done cpr on a hot chick unfortunately...
>>672452940
I would
What are tha steps to qualifying for this job? I was thinking of doing it in the future
>>672452342
It's not a warzone, but PTSD is real in this business, and no amount of being a tough guy can stop it from being true. Everyone reacts differently, and I agree you can't let it mess with your personal life, but that isn't always possible. Come back home after working a pedi-code and try to look at your kids the same. That's bringing it home whether you like it or not.
>>672453081
Have a desire for shit hours and low pay along with having an IQ high enough to breathe.
>>672452833
Never done CPR on anyone worth looking at. All old or fat bitches.
Now EKGs are a different story. I've seen some nice perky tits there
>>672452928
Then you are one ignorant son of a bitch.
>>672433068
Must be nice being in a mod faggot.
Man the fuck up and be a paramedic
Yeah I have a question, why are emt fags always weird as shit..
>be firefighter and deal with these weirdos regularly
>>672453081
Read the thread. It's in there
>>672452833
Titties lose their appeal when skin is ash grey from lack of circulation or covered in blood/shit/grease/roadrash/lacs/burns etc. Pervness is the last thing on your mind during a legit call. The only "hot" patients I've ever had were physch patients, and yeah, enough said.
>>672453197
nah man. like i said. you clock in you do everything you can do to save the person. you clock out. . life happens. death happens. yeah it sucks. i remember everyone i've seen die in my hands. but i did my job.
>>672453164
Is it really that bad?
>>672453277
EMS is for the nerds. Firefighters are the dumb jocks.
>>672453418
It depends where you work. Some services around me are pretty much minimum wage for EMT level. Others can be more generous.
>>672453190
doing ekg would be a dream job, tits, hardly ant blood or urine involved, like the smog guy and your car. just do the test admire the goods, move on
>>672453417
Well define what you mean taking it home with you? If you let this job change you, then you have taken it home with you.
>>672453418
Op here
No. A lot of my EMT friends have gone on to be doctors, PAs, Nurse practitioners, etc. You need to be able to learn the material and be able to cope with stress. Take a class or volunteer at your local squad to see if it's right for you.
>>672453639
i guess continually thinking about a certain patient. or letting a certain call affect you. no this job hasn't changed me
>>672433068
LAFD firefighter/paramedic here.
You've been an EMT for 4 years? You should be a medic already.
>>672453936
OP here.
The jobs changed me. For the better.
More confidence, in better shape, and couldn't care less about 90% of you fuckers. It's made life easier in that way.
>>672453136
I agree, it sucks. And some do take it harder than others. But, from what I've seen, the guys who get divorced/cheated on its not because of muh PTSD. It's because they live and breathe that job. On their day off? Hmmmm. A) Fuck wife. B) go hang out at the station.
It's always b, always.
>>672453936
Oh well then I agree with you then. I misinterpreted what you meant.
>>672453921
>No. A lot of my EMT friends have gone on to be doctors, PAs, Nurse practitioners, etc
They did that because they were smart enough to get out of a horribly paying 2 year average turnover rate back and knee destroying occupation.
>>672454239
i can agree with that. the jobs made me more confident in who i am and what i'm capable of. i guess in that guys question i was focusing on the negatives lol
>>672454078
OP
Never cared to move up until recently. I do everything my medic partner does without all the paperwork. Didn't seem necessary. Hell, I know more than most of the Medics where I work.
>>672453528
Can't speak for the whole country but in my area firefighting gigs are super competitive. Unless you're a minority resident in a major city that is hiring, you need to have emt at the least and a lot of people apply with bachelors degrees. Probably 100ish applicants apply per open position in a decent district
>>672454303
To be honest with you I didnt know that was a thing. At my department nobody does that.
>>672452928
Sound like the kind of guy I'd like on my rig anon.
>>672454510
lol i love you type..
"i know as much as a medic" except how to pass a board cert...
>>672454510
Then get your medic license and get paid as a medic. You don't want to be a medics bitch forever. Don't get complacent
>>672445545
did you post this exact story somewhere else like 3 weeks ago?
>>672433068
inject Potassium chloride into some nigger vein. post results.
>>672454675
This shit is true. Not that guy but medics at my department have said most of our EMTs know about the same they do, they let them push meds etc and said if given the chance would let them tube someone. It just depends on the place.
>>672454803
I can just watch a lethal injection for that.
>>672454803
He can't because he's only an EMT. He's a paramedics bitch
>>672454877
oh yeah i'll let them do whatever. but under my supervision. ..
>>672433068
Hahaha hey faggot make sure you have tape ready to give to your medic when he's sticking.
Lol at these medics acting like their job is hard. All the medics I know tell me its the easiest job in the world
>>672433068
How many uncut cocks do you see per day?
>>672455258
Too fucking many
>>672455216
bout as easy as voting for bernie!
>>672455492
How many cut cocks then?
Just like Military/police, Firefighter 5/10 are gay or have experimented. You don't want know how many are at the gay club any given Saturday.
>>672455580
not enough
>>672455580
>expecting OP to count all of the uncut dicks he's seen
found the faggot
>>672433068
How does it feel to be medics bitch?
"Hey EMT get me that tape ready when I start a line"
>>672433068
Have you ever seen a friend missing a limb fighting for their life and administered AID? -I have, and I'm not even cpr, first aid cert., in the civilian sector... But yet I was even out there searching for his lost foot (in a mind field) just to get all his "parts" going with his main body lol
-War related
>>672455968
and thats what terrifies me. i can do my job. but being in the military idk how i'll handle a friend being fucked up
>>672455968
OP here
I've only pronounced a friend of mine. She was in a car accident that crushed her lungs and heart. I did about 2 seconds of CPR and when blood squirted out if her mouth and nose. I called it.
>>672455888
You can talk shit all you want since you got trips
>>672456122
Yeah, that's what fks me up till this day lol drink at least 10 beers a day to dimply knock out, cause what fks me up the most is hearing my brother (in arms) gasping for air. Lips flapping, gasping noise, seeing his cok (cause blast blew his shit), but that's life lol and only ONE story keeping me down... thanks for not being a dik about it
>>672455888
How does it feel to be my bitch when you deliver the patient to my hospital? It's Dr, not Mr. Or sir.
>>672456287
Wow you suck. Dr here, you should have kept working her. But, I'm sure your 5 months of training qualifies you more than my ER.
>>672456644
Fuck doctors. You're pompous jackasses with more toys.
But everyone is someone's bitch these days
>>672434104
4 years as an EMT
>not even a paragod
get good son
>>672456606
i cant imagine brother.. good luck
what is Greatest distance between body parts of the same person you have seen?
>>672456923
Sure. Because the ER would have looked at me and like I was a fucking tool if I brought them someone obviously dead.
Firefighter looking to get my EMT to get on a better hall. Would you advise?
>>672456287
>bullshit detected
why not suction the airway? If both lungs were collapsed, how was there any blood squirting? There wouldn't have been any negative pressure to push it out
Also, your friend? Really? You think anyone buys that shit? Go wipe down the fucking stretcher you wannabe hero.
>>672457299
5 MONTHS of school vs my 7 yrs. OK kiddo.
>>672457444
I'm surprised your organization hasn't made you get it already. Go get it
>>672433068
Ever had to deal with someone in a manic episode? I'm in one of those right now and every couple minutes I get a huge urge to slice my radial wide open, not even for the sake of harming myself, it just seems like a hilarious idea that I have to constantly tell myself isn't, shit is not cash.
>>672457621
He's not ready for cleaning the stretcher.
>>672456644
I could care less. I'm a firefighter. I get pussy all day
>>672457444
How are you a firefighter without at least your EMT? Do you have a first responder or? Is it a volly service? 90% of the calls my fire service goes on is EMS and the other 9% is false alarms.
>>672456287
Last question OP, do you view rekd threads and notice how delicate our bodies are? (meaning its soo simple to kill a human, you/I)
>>672457838
Single function firefighter. Fdny is like that
>>672457299
Oy vey, listen to that doctor goym! A few chest tubes will certainly clear that right up. I can't wait to char- I mean meet the family!
>>672456995
True. I'm just a douche to people who try and put others down. I have EMT friends and nurses. Some Drs look down on that. But those are the idiots who you don't even want to deal with. Weird as Shit. Cucks/SJW, plain weird
>>672457728
Its gonna be out of my pocket, current hall does not require it.
(canada fag btw)
>>672457809
I can buy your wife and daughter with a weekends pay.
>>672458016
I'd very highly recommend getting your EMT. I got into fire to fight fires, but i stayed in for EMS. Even if you don't like it, no harm done. At least you can say you're a nationally licensed EMT.
But if you do like it, get some experience and go to medic school. Sounds like you'd probably be able to ride ALS/CCT on your department for your school ride time
>>672457838
Medical first responder
AAS here
>>672457809
Did you really try and compare the amount of pussy a Firefighter makes t a Dr.? I'm a med student and make 3 times as you.
>>672458225
Cool story bro. I still get pussy without buying anything
>>672458621
Unless you are making 240k thats not true
5 year medic/3 year FF here
>Anybody who has had their EMT for over a year
Get into medic school fags. Being an EMT blows in comparison. Its all cool until you see how amazing the ALS side of things are. Its a whole different playing field. Don't be that guy who ends up being a basic bitch for life. When i was a basic we had a couple of those sorry sons of bitches who were 5+ year EMT's going into their 30's because they couldn't get into medic school
>There is no reason so remain an EMT
>>672458621
>med student
You tard. It's not rocket science. Everyone knows doctors make more than firefighters. I just get pussy
>>672458621
Firefighter for 9 years.
I make 6 figures fuck boi.
>>672458709
I can buy any female you know. Your mom, sister, Girlfriend, etc. It's the beauty of it. Keep in running into burning places and banging7/10s at best.
>>672433068
Just got my NREMT certifaction and I'm currently looking for a job as an EMT. Any advice?
do you guys ever use restraints?
ever get any crazy people?
>>672459332
>Projecting your insecurities
You're just mad I make six figures and get puss doing cool shit while you spend most of your life in school only to realize it wasnt worth it.
>>672459332
Hahaha faggot has to spend money on women to get pussy. I literally show my badge and get pussy
>>672459348
What's your career goal
>>672459153
How can you get more pussy?. Literally impossible. I do alright on my own. Not ugly. Throw in the car, the fact I'm about to be a Dr. So easy. You can't understand. Go to strip club, bring to strippers home because of cash. Those $600 make their week. I call that gas money.
>>672459692
Bro. I'm a FIREFIGHTER.
What more do I need to do to get pussy?
>>672459692
So you basically fuck hookers and think you're cool?
>>672459348
Dont be a fucking superhero. Until you become a paramedic, you're just a stretcher jockey. Get that through your head. Its nothing like what they teach in class. Don't be that guy in your station whos a basic with leatherman raptors.
ALSO, do not, i repeat, DO NOT wear any cringy "racing the reaper" or "I fight what you fear" shirts off duty. You look like a fucking tool and will get laughed at.
>>672459283
Sure you do. Now go clean your boots, I hate having you dirty fucks in my hospital leaving footprints everywhere
>>672459875
>. Until you become a paramedic, you're just a stretcher jockey
Clearly you got that paragod mentality. In my system, EMTs do all the work, medics just transport.
>>672459585
Something cool? Like being burnt to a crisp?. I plan on having an open casket funeral.
>>672459462
Oh yes they do. I have seen some stuff as a student doing clinical rotations. I once had a patient who was HIV positive shout "I HAVE AIDS!" And then she bit into her lips hard and deep and started spitting blood at me and some hospital staff.
>>672459895
Starting pay at my municipality is 78k, bumped to 92k after 18 months. Pretty fucking great considering how much work you actually do and how much off time you get. I wouldn't trade it for any other job
>>672459611
4/10s at best. I get 10/10s if the mood strikes me. I can afford too. Disposable income buddy.
>>672460041
You spread peoples ass cheeks to check anal bleeds while I cut people out of cars and run into burning buildings
>>672459824
Dr. DOCTOR. DOC-TER. The guy who saves lives. DemiGod.
>>672459662
Start as EMT, after about a year or two I plan on becoming a medic. After that I'm not so sure, though becoming a flight medic sounds interesting. The problem is that I live in a military town and I'm competing with ex-army and airforce medics trying to get civilian jobs.
>>672459993
EMT is no more than glorified first aid and taxi service; it's jut not that hard. Why would you call an ALS unit if all you needed is transport?
>>672459840
I Fuck all types of women. Hookers include. Definition of cool.
>>672460354
Yeah but you need us first to bring you patients retard.
Statistics show that woman love firefighters more than doctors
>>672460425
Dispatch run cards dispatch ALS on all calls in county.
>Calling for ALS
This isn't a practical test this is real life, some places work different.
>>672433068
Gay. I just got off my shift of 16hrs in the trauma dept of level one trauma center.
>>672460126
Don't lie man. Unless you live in NYC, that's not even close to being true.
Do you guys still put crazies in straitjackets or is this just the movies?
As a result of dealing with people in medical emergencies, do you ever get to feel up hot girls, or check them out naked (and enjoy it)? Or is the emergency too distracting to really pay attention to all that.
>>672460282
And then when you get burnt to a crisp, the wheel your bacon looking ass into my hospital.
>>672460601
Tons of places are like that tard. WA state firefighters can make 6 figures. Seattle pays 82k after years, and most departments around the puget sound pay the same
>>672460393
>ex-army and airforce medics trying to get civilian jobs.
military medics don't know much general medicine.
you shouldn't have a problem getting a job past them.
>>672460393
Work as an Emt for about a year then head to medic school bro. Get it done as soon as you can while your fresh. Don't be like OP who's been on the job for 4 years and got complacent.
>>672460550
No more than a glorified delivery boy. I don't even know why I'm bothering. You just don't understand what it's like to have money. To want a certain woman, and have her. Why? Because you have the means too.
>>672460562
Im sure the basics will start a line and throw on leads with a working interpretation for you. When was the last time a basic called a STEMI in the field?
>>672460200
I get 10/10 all day.
Even female doctors hahaha
Your colleagues love my cock bro
>>672460988
I make 6 figures fuck boi. I'm pretty happy with what I make. And I get pussy.
>>672460997
Basics in my Dept throw on leads all the time, thats not difficult, neither is interpretation if you know what to look for. Stop acting like your job is super hard. It's not.
>>672447042
Ive been reading, interesting stuff.
why is this thread full of whining faggots trying to shit on EMT work?
By God King, the Carnage.. Dr's vs Firefighters vs Paramedics vs EMTs!!
But who will walk away as the new Medical Division Champion ?!
>>672461222
>>>>Trusting basics with EKG interpretations
Im not even gonna bother at this point.
You arrive on scene to find a 42 year old male; what with the L in SAMPLE in a juvenile diabetic patient with an O2 sat of 90/70, what do the whole bottle?
>>672461222
>Trusting basics with EKG interpretations
Im not even gonna bother at this point.
>>672461196
I really hope you live by me. I truly do. You might give me a new hobby anyway. Fuck the widows of all the firefighters in my area. Hell, IL travel 100 miles. Then post in b/
>>672461566

>>672461646

We all know if you were all you do is google symptoms anyways
>>672444228
Fuck you faggot, trying to talk about shit. Just picked up toddler parts after watching SO photograph them for 2 fucking hours. Trying to drop words and shit, bein a bitch, drinkin outa cups.
>>672461855
Try not to end up like this. It's a real bitch to get the smell out of my Hospital.
Ruins my lunch.
>>672461563
>O2 sat 90/70
Kill yourself
>>672462161
what the fuck is this even supposed to mean.
do you have brain damage?
>>672461646
I'm 6'3 faggot. You don't want me near you
>>672462372
So, bitch eats a fentanyl patch like a double stuffed oreo and chugs a bottle of wine. Takes 14 mg nolaxone and pukes exorcist style all over paras. Then SpO2 72% on 30L/min tubed. Tubes whistling the whole time. Cyanotic as fuck. Somehow lived. True story.
>>672461563
I laughed at this way harder then I should have.
>>672462381
Yeah I do, so I can boss you around and watch as people laugh and cringe. I'm a Dr, respect it. Deal with it. >>672462381
>>672462505
Bro, that's pretty fucked up. Future Dr.Bruh to Dr, chill man.
>>672462307
Ahahahaha, faggot xD
>>672462685
Not really. I've had doctors try and boss me around but I just tell them fuck off. I'll just throw your ass in the trash bin and I'll flirt with your colleagues then fuck them.
I've actually fucked female doctors buddy. I'm actually suprised how easy they gave that pussy to me. Kinda sad.
>>672461398
Actually laughed.
Seriously, why all the fighting? Aren't we all on the same side?
>>672463062
Too bad you'll never make 6 figures as a faggot.
ITT: EMS/Fire etc... all bitching at each other about stupid shit no one cares about but them
>>672463137
No. Fuck doctors.
They think they can boss us firefighters around? Fuck them. Here's your patient faggot
>>672462540
>Tubes whistling the whole time
what does this mean?
finnish nursefag here
>>672463062
> how easy they gave that pussy
How do you think they got through med school?
>>672463182
I do make 6 figures retard.
>>672463253
What do you do faggot? How do you contribute to society?
>>672433068
what's one thing on the job that you wish you never had to see?
>>672463062
The lies you tell. The moment you would even dare say Fuck off to me, is the moment you get fired. I've seen it happen. We are the be all end all. Your bosses kiss our asses so bad, you don't even know. Just one phone call, and you better for of your wife and daughter at the corner, cause you're out out of a job.
>>672462685
>I can boss you around
you aren't the boss of firefighters, medics, EMTs or nurses.
infact you arent the boss of anyone except perhaps junior doctors if you are senior enough yourself.
>>672463374
I mean at 30L/min O2 through an intubated patient, the volumetric flux creates a whistling sound along the ridges of the tube. Crazy shit. Normally 15L/min...
>>672463278
We can though. We are better than you in every way.
>>672463467
Honestly bro. I have told a doctor to fuck off because he was annoying. I ain't scared of you faggots.
>>672461398
All we need is an RN, then we would have a full battle royal.
>>672463620
Not physically faggot. You weak beta fucks
