Paramedic/Firefighter here. I know a lot of people just generally hate fat people for no reason other than "they're gross". So I felt like I would tell you about my day and the reasons I hate fat people.

>they make my job harder x1000
>they're always assholes
>we always have to call backup to lift these blobs
>they're frequent fliers
>it's imfuckingpossible to find veins and all sorts of crucial shit
>it's not really worth our time to try and save some 500lb fuck whose just going to die tomorrow anyway

If you're a fat person, please fucking please start working out or eating right or anything. I guarantee if you were to go into full cardiac arrest right now and paramedics were to show up, they'd probably not give you their 100% of effort. You're just not worth our time and I know for certain I don't give 100% when i'm trying to help a person who doesn't even try to help themselves.

You think we're going to work as hard on you as that 10 year old kid, or that 43 year old father of 3 who needed us? Hell no. I fucking hate fat people.

I worked with a paramedic student and he said pretty much the same thing.
Though, he had to work as an intern in an asylum for a few weeks and he said he'd rather deal with fat people than the asylum patients.
Like, most eloquent example he gave was that the day before he started his internship, another intern got stabbed with a needle by a patient.

That's not my experience with mental patients at all. Most people, even the really really fucked up ones, don't try to hurt others. They're mostly a danger to themselves.

When they do get too excited they're strapped down and medicated until they're safe again. Neither a calm patient nor a patient strapped to a bed is dangerous.

My job is to save lives, those people don't have lives. Most of /b/ doesn't have lives, but at least if they're moderately healthy, they're at least moderately valuable to society as a functioning human being. Almost all of these fat fucks is on disability because apparently being 350lbs is a disability now. Just put them in prison, restrict their diets, make them exercise, and let them go when they're not morbidly disgusting anymore.

The last mentioned reason is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. You don't know what said fat person is doing with their life. Maybe they're a physicist just about to create an energistical revolution, maybe they are a biologist just about to cure cancer.

OP, you're either a liar or a retard.
>>

In his case, though, he was more making a point that even though you correct the first guys grammar, you yourself were also incapable of forming grammatically correct sentences. So it was less about correcting you and more about pointing out your hypocrisy.

>>700915771
We just don't like having to waste our time on people who really do not need our help. Drunks are common, they're just always assholes and puke in our truck and they're mostly homeless losers. We keep them stable and they become the hospitals problem. We'll obviously work hard to save them if they have a sudden cardiac arrest, it's just that fat people are so much more work and it's a logistical nightmare. By the time we get a fat person stable and transported we've probably gone through 5 or 6 tanks of o2 which requires us to call multiple ambulances or district chiefs to stock us up.

No way, physicians kill more people than they save. We're the ones who save lives. All you do is take guesses as to what's wrong with people and 20% of the time you fucking kill them and another 20% of the time you misdiagnose them and they never get better.

No, the work amount is the same aside from the fucking transport. CPR, shocking them, placing lines, reading an EKG, pushing drugs.

I probably shouldn't have said I don't give my 100% because I do everything i'm supposed to do, I'm not saying I neglect patients or mistreat them or don't fucking care. But some patients I give 130%, I've done CPR with a full team for an hour and a half to try and bring back a kid who fell off a slide. There's no way i'm bringing that same amount of work to this fatass who brought it all on themself

>>700916575

Meanwhile people like me who try to live as healthy as they can because they have real medical disabilities are stuck waiting over two years to even hear if I can get disability.

during this time I could not seek even temporary employment for fear of it hurting my disability claim. I have had to live off of loans so now if my claim is denied I am basically screwed because I am too disabled to ever hold a job long enough to pay them off.

for those curious I have Multiple Sclerosis, as well as some other health issues.

When I was diagnosed I kept working as long as I my body would let me and now I get to sit and watch the fat asses at the Social Security office get easy disability because they fucked up the healthy body they started with. it is so disappointing.

I didn't say 100% I said you kill more people than you save. Through malpractice, misdiagnosis, infections from hospitalization, etc. etc.

You send people home stable, absolutely, but for every one of those who you actually give a 2nd chance to? You probably sent 3 to an early grave unintentionally, just because your job is 100% tests charts and guesswork.

Yeah I know all about the fatties that have legitimate illnesses and that's a bitch and all, but 100% of the fatasses whose lives I've saved or whose deaths i've witnessed have been useless fucks with no health conditions that didn't arise from their original obesity issue. Sure, they all have elevated blood pressure, diabetes, typically they're dehydrated because of all the soda they fucking drink, but it's never "Oh yeah that guy that had Cushings"

as a former emt, you will do CPR.. chest compressions and assisted breathing, while using a defibrillator, until you reach the hospital ER.. which will generally be much less than an hour.. for example we had a call with an older male who went into cardiac arrest at the mall.. we did CPR and shocked him til we got to the ER, where they continued our efforts for a short while before giving up... he was DOA .. shit and pissed himself.. it's a messy job.. not for those with a weak stomach.

Usually the common femoral vein is the one you can see, because no matter how fat someone is they still have a groin crease. But try going distal outside of a big fat crease and you can't see shit, even with the nice GE machines and the frequency bottomed out. And even if you do find the vein as soon as you try to compress it they're going to yelp and bear down in pain because of their cellulitis, increasing their lower venous pressure to the point that it's non-compressible.

Some people will spend 45 minutes trying to get non-diagnostic pictures and trash their shoulders. I refuse. If there's a pannus hanging down to the knees I'm spending a couple seconds looking to say I tried and then going distal to whatever vessel I can see without tearing my rotator cuff. Fucking docs can order a venogram if they want.

Yeah, and did you know that almost all EMS systems in the country have staffing problems? Because not only do we have to deal with horrible, horrible shit like the remains of a car wreck, suicides in creative and gross ways, murders, gunshots, stabbings, car wrecks that can mutilate and disfigure people in the most disturbing ways, not only do we deal with that, we also deal with fat people. Moving of, transport of, livesaving intervention of fat people who cannot be asked to lose weight because that makes me a "shitlord" and a bigot.

Go ahead, tell me why your 600lb life is more valuable than a healthy 25 year olds life. Tell me why we should waste time and energy on you when a mile away there could be someone else having a cardiac arrest, and the next closest ambulance is gonna be 10 minutes away. Tell me why I shouldn't be so upset that you're tying up valuable resources that healthy people could use should they get an emergency?

Fuck your entitlement.

Smokers are easy to transport, we put an airway in them, help them breathe o2, and drive their wheezy ass to the hospital. No problem.

Homeless are generally gross and drunk and rude as fucking hell, but their conditions are almost always serious. So we treat and deliver. Doesn't take that much work for either of them. And if they arrest? We do the same fucking work! It's not very hard when they're not over 300lbs, it's so fucking easy to lift, carry, do CPR, find veins, shock, transport, intubate. They don't make my job harder, just grosser/more necessary.

I don't "decide who lives and dies" I'm not neglecting my patients here, but you can be damned sure after doing compressions, placing a line, and doing all the other routine shit that goes along with a cardiac arrest, i'll give a time of death pretty fucking soon after we've done everything we're supposed to. Can we do more? Maybe, we can definitely keep trying until rigor mortis sets in, but is there any guarantee we'll get them back anyway? No. So I'm not just rolling up, seeing a fatty and saying "oh boy lets do subpar work, who needs to do CPR he's dead already." I'm definitely not doing that. But on a healthy 20 year old I'll not give a time of death until everyone there is sweating and tired and we're almost out of o2 and fluids and drugs.

Some patients require more work than others, but that doesn't mean you put less effort towards caring for them. Your job is to care for and treat those in need in emergent situations. Not to pick and choose who deserves quality care. I wish your employer would hear your opinion on this, or better yet those who gave you a cert. I have never gone into a call thinking "if they die they die oh well".

That person is trusting you with their life and paying a shit load for you to do your job so fucking do it. If you think you can skim by being a lazy medic then maybe your burnt out and should find something else to do with your life.

And before you assume I'm fat and just triggered, in 5'11 200lbs, deadlift 500 for reps, squat 425, bench bear 300. I'm not lazy or fat and I don't complain about doing my job either.

You had me until you spouted your lift stats lol. Wtf man cumon who does that..

Moderately overweight is fine, if 2 people can lift you on a backboard you're all good bro.

My line starts at 350.

>350: Goddamned it, gotta get another crew to help me.

>450: Holy fuck, call the fire department.

>550: Jesus christ, call the national guard

>600+: That's it, i'm out... Dear /b/ this is how my day went

May seem douchey but I figured they would try and call me fat and say that is why I'm defending fat people. Instead they just all out said I'm not an emt lol

Is he immobile? Can he make his own way to the bathroom?
Narcotics and being a fatcunt are not the same thing. Fatcunts are literally the epitome of a "poor me" victimhood structure.

Unless you were born in a wheelchair, you can walk. If you can walk to the shop and back you're doing it right. If the shop has to make special dispatches to your house because you're eating too many fucking twinkies you are doing it wrong

Love the stair chairs. But Reeves sleeves and mega movers are the way to go if they're seriously big

High school he means. And some training. Usually less than a year.
>>
>>700922745
Yea maybe youre right. But its still so disgsuting for me to think that an emt could be not tryin so hard because the person in need is overweight or fat or whatever. I get you if you say its unhealthy and they didnt take care of themselves in the first place.
But you cant make that decision for them. Even if it would be for the better.
>>
>>700915804
Anyone with half an ounce of self respect doesn't become a fatcunt and moan about it.

I have more respect for those that are apologetic for getting too fat due to a medical condition. Or even just sorry they're fat. It's the proud fatcunts that really fuck me off.

Fuck you you obtuse rotund fatcunt

You can volunteer, just find your nearest volunteer station, typically in the county or in a municipality, and ask what is required. Lots of fun and we always need people. Don't expect to ride the truck straight away unless you live out in the county, cities are a little more corporate and regulated. Counties are "WE GOT A FIRE BOYS, I'LL TAKE THE TRUCK AND YOU GUYS MEET US AT THE FIRE!!"

Fuck this thread is motivating.
I've been gaining steady weight this past year, was 200 now i'm at 250, talked to doctor and found out my fat storage is going crazy (and some doctor shit i diddent understand) so basicly i have to work out to loose weight ;/
dont wanna become a fat fuck but i realy dont care for sports, any if you guys know if karate/some other fiting style could be a good alternative to loose sone pounds?
If it's not i'm all out of idears.

>>700923627

you'd be surprised how little training and how little EMT's actually know.. they are always paired with a paramedic... even paramedics are woefully under trained and lack knowledge.. there is no comparison between a doctor and first responders.. if you knew the training they go through you would have very little confidence in their ability to diagnose your issue correctly, their job is to try to keep you alive til they get you to a hospital / real doctor.. and they are barely able to do that frequently.. coming from an EMT, who respects what emt's / paramedics / firefighters / first responders do...
>>
>>700923429
It's not like i'm not doing my job ok. I'm doing everything i'm supposed to, but I will absolutely not beat myself to death working to save that fat guy. I'll tire out and work endlessly on someone young and healthy or on a child. I've never been as tired as I am when a child has a cardiac arrest. I'll have my whole crew stay for 2 hours working to try and get that one back. But the fat guy will get the routine and 30 minutes maybe less before we call it quits and walk away. We'll give a healthy adult maybe an hour.

Former operating department nurse here - hauling unconscious landwhales and manblobs around to lift and postion on operating tables destroyed my lower back - lots of jobs and activities I can't do now. Thanks fat cunts.

Back in the day they would be forced to lose MAJOR weight before they would receive non-urgent operative procedures - joy of a national health service. Many procedures are simply impossible with lard behemoths, and fitter patients would always receive higher priority and better care.

NO ONE cares about you fat-asses - since you clearly don't care yourself.

tl;dr - kill yourself fat fucks.

Yeah this is true. But we have a play book that we follow, we're not there to diagnose and treat someones medical condition, we're just there to get him to you guys. Our best work is when we're on the scene of a motor vehicle accident or any sort of trauma. That's where we're the stars of the show. When we bring them to the hospital with time to spare in the golden hour we've done a good fucking job even if all we did was stabilize, bandage, and drive.

Ok. So you hate fat people because they make your work harder. Fair enough. I admit to having prejudice myself. I cant stand imigrants, for one.

But the rest is just sad.

You say that you're not going to do your best unless its easy and you like the person you're helping. Thats awful, coming from a paramedic.

All real paramedics know that many of the people they act as a taxi-service for are "frequent fliers". The chronics, the addicts and the elderly, neither of which are likely to live long regardless of what you do.

That darling 90-year old granny whos life you helped save when she broke her hip or had a heart-attack? The ice-cold truth is that if she's alive in a month from now, she's an exception. Yeah, she'll survive the emergency if she gets to a hospital. She wont survive the healing-process.

Medical care is not about the long term, its about today. Today you could save a life, but by your own admission you're not trying. You're a disgrace.

Ever send them to the zoo to get an MRI? Those transports were my fucking favorite.

"Hey buddy know where we're going?"
"The zoo..."
"Know why?"
"Because i'm too big to fit in the normal machine."
"Thaaaaaats right!"
>>
>>700916759
No it's not that's why they have seperate names. Whoever you're talking to is perfectly right to make the distinction.
>>
>>700924059
are the chances on a healthy and young person different to a fat person in the case of a cardiac arrest? i honestly dont know.. and does it even matter if you still try 30 mins extra? was there any success after you would quit usually?
this thread made me look what i need to become an emt or paramedic in my country lol
>>
Firefighter / EMT here.. i agree fatties are the worst.. search and rescue is also a nightmare to get out of a structure fire.. vertical extractions also nightmares..

All the people here bitching have no idea what CPR is, and I'm sure have never been bent over a sweaty greasy soiled motherfucker..

Oh and for the guy that said that you can't give CPR for an hour.. our M.O. is that we can't legally move someone in cardiac arrest till we get a heartbeat back, so yeah, CPR for hours is a real possibility while we push epis & other shit..

No. Fuck the fatties
>>
>>700924645
Mostly no. Once someone is dead, they're dead. But occasionally you'll get a miracle crew that basically bring back a zombie after an hour of work. Everyone's always like "I swear to god I was just about to call it" but it's a seldom occurrence. But we don't give up if we think they're viable, or if they're young and it's a tragedy.
>>
>>700924383

yupp.. at least we learn how to stabilize traumatic injuries, fractures.. how to arrest bleeding, etc.. it's just an attempt to keep the patient alive until the doctors and diagnostic infrastructure can really figure out what's going on... we are taught a system for assessing a patients condition, but it's far from exact.
>>
>>700924799
I understand you.. people that are fat as fuck and people that don't try to save lives for a living have zero idea the fuck they are talking about, and should stfu and be grateful that we even take the time to save the life of someone who obviously doesn't give a rat's ass about theirs

Back then only hospitals had MRIs and similar - don't fit? Go die tubby. Human fat-farms were rarer back then thankfully for us.

>>700925096
It's just not something civilians think of. It's not only that they're disgusting in and of themselves, it's like they're actively fighting against us doing our jobs. Finding veins? Impossible. Transport? A fucking nightmare. Hygiene? God awful. There's just so much uncomplicated stuff that becomes super complicated and difficult when you're dealing with these people. And I really don't think it's worth as much effort as it takes. They need someone to step in and force them to change their habits.
>>
>>700925319
Well the District Chief has to be on scene, but he just does oversight so whoever's working the crew decides to call it quits, looks over to the DC for the acknowledging nod or until he says "ok stop" but basically the working crew gets the feel for it and knows when it's over. DC's just the one who makes it official.
>>
>>700925319
not the OP, but where I'm at.. the Doc on call has to call it, but we can basically tell him more or less when we've done all we can.. so while we can't legally call it, we can definitely influence it

Ok. So you've backpedaled from the evil shit you said at first. Miscommunication. Ok.

So, what remains is pretty much:
1 - You dont like fat people.
2 - They make your work harder.

Duly noted.

Morbidly obese shitsacks love to play the victim card, but they are just lazy adult-children with Zero self-discipline.

Fact is that like junkies, alcies and smokers they're a GIANT burden on society - useless fat leeches contributing nothing.

From a health service POV, they are 100% guaranteed to receive less care, partly because EVERYONE hates them, but mainly because a lot of procdeures are either technically impossible or a clear and obvious waste of resources.

No-one officially admits to the latter, but trust me, it's how things are.
>>
>>700925539
3 - I also think they should either change their ways by forcible intervention or die if they can't comply. But that's unrelated. They really should be forced to fat camp and until they get down to X weight they cannot leave. Just prison for fatties. They're really not something civil society should have to tolerate and then pay for unless it's toward the goal of changing the outcome. Unlike paying disability to let them continue their lifestyle.

>>700925571
Yeah, no, they're not intentionally doing anything to make our jobs harder, it's in their interest for us to do our work, but it's super fucking difficult. The number of times i've missed veins on a fat guy embarrasses me because that's basic medical care, veins are easy to find, but they look like a damned pin cushion because they're so hard to find.
>>
>>700925803
Smokers are not nearly as big a problem, sure they're a burden on the healthcare system, but that's because there's so many more of them than whales. At least with smokers there's a whole generation of them who are already riddled with health problems due to age, this generations smoker is the fat person.
