Since one of my least favorite bloggers moderates her comments, and mine will never make it public. I have decided to go here. If you need a clue, let me know.

Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

Does it make you feel better to make shit up or do you have a serious psychological issue?

I am honestly concerned about your health. You have this constant need to feel important. Like YOU matter. YOU do not. None of US do. As a tech in a hospital you do things that are essential to the hospital. But nothing that any other competent tech couldn’t. YOU did not save anyone. YOU are NOT important.

You think you have some magical powers, great looks, awesome personality, and clever wit. Guess what. You don’t. You would only impress someone who has no medical knowledge at all. Even then, they’d have to be a dumb ass to believe you.

Go to bed, get up, and get a damn life. Sweet Mary, Mother of God. I seriously can’t handle all of this crap anymore. You get your rocks off making yourself feel important to the blogosphere.

Take your @paramedicdan-esque ways and pack them up. The only people who pretend to believe you are more fascinated with your whorish ways than anything else.

Quit making EMS look like a joke. We take our jobs damn seriously and we are sick of people making a mockery of it.

Partners.

2 comments

I have some great partners. I’ve also got some really, really crappy partners. Some of them just know what to do. Others need me to hold their hands while they take a crap. Some just can not figure out what being a partner means.

 

So……

A partner is:

-A friend who shares a common interest or participates in achieving a common goal

-A member of an intimate relationship

-A member of a partnership

-A business partner

-Partner (business rank), a member of a law firm or accounting firm which is formed as a partnership; sometimes senior employees of the firm may have the title "partner" (e.g., "salaried partner") to indicate a profit sharing status; salaried partners are distinguished from equity partners, who own the business.

-A participant in a partner dance

 

Things partners should NOT do…

-Throw you under the bus every chance they get

-Use you in a piss poor attempt to further their own careers

-Kiss your ass after doing so

-Ask you for favors after doing so

-expect you to do them favors after doing so

-expect me to NOT give them a reciprocal bus-throwing-under

-Expect me to NOT succeed and leave you bloodied in a ditch off a dirt road in Idaho.

Seriously. When the oldest person at your station is the most immature, idiotic, and pigheaded dumb ass staff member, you know you’re in a ginormous cluster fuck…

Oh, and some things you should not try to tell me that you are "allergic" to:

-Epi. Seriously? You’re adrenal glands are going to have to disagree

-Sugar. Specifically Glucose. You’re fucking kidding me, right?

-Ammonia? You do understand the difference between an allergy and a hypersensitivity? You get that NO ONE likes how breathing in ammonia makes you feel…

-Right?

-PS… since you are allergic to ammonia, sugar, and epi… what would you like me to do about your "allergic reaction" now that you are in anaphylactic shock? Fucking black magic?

-If you are allergic to sugar why are you drinking a humongo gas station Reese’s Capafrapasugarladencino?

 

The pediatric dose of Benadryl would actually give you MORE Benadryl than the adult dose… based on weight. F-tard(that is me restraining myself.)

 

How in the HELL did one small company with 8 full time employees end up with a concentration of 3(THREE) people with the same set of nearly impossible allergies?

My mother in law is soooo afraid of us picking a horrible name for our baby…

At least I’m not this father douche bag.

Here is a preview of what you get by clicking the above link…

The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child’s full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the Greenwich ShopRite, but with an outpouring of angry Internet postings in response to a local newspaper article over the weekend on their flare-up over frosting.

"I think people need to take their heads out of the cloud they’ve been in and start focusing on the future and not on the past," Heath Campbell said Tuesday in an interview conducted in Easton, on the other side of the Delaware River from where the family lives in Hunterdon County, N.J.

"There’s a new president and he says it’s time for a change; well, then it’s time for a change," the 35-year-old continued. "They need to accept a name. A name’s a name. The kid isn’t going to grow up and do what (Hitler) did."

No, but he isn’t going to win many awards for having the most peaceful name in history either…

The Campbells’ other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

Do you ever just think to yourself…. "WHAT THE F#@K?!!"

Tales from a Small Town, Pt 3

2 comments

Well, as I have made very much apparent–I live in a small town. We have:

  • 1 Grocery Store
  • 2 Sub shops–1 is a gas station
  • 2 pizza shops–1 is the same gas station as above
  • 1 Casino–Tribal and all
  • 2 restaurants–1 is at the Casino Above
  • 4 Gas stations–1 same as 1 sub shop and 1 pizza shop
  • 4 bars–all next door to each other
  • 1 bed in our ER
  • 87 beds in our Nursing home
  • 16 beds in our “hospital”
  • 3 doctors
  • 9 nurses(TOTAL)
  • 3 paramedics
  • 2 ambulances–1 staffed 24/7, 1 backup(OH SHIT, we have two calls at once?!?!)
  • 4 Churches

So, as you can see there isn’t a LOT here. Mostly, I do transfers from itty bitty hospital to Pretty Big deal hospital. Usually between 0800-1700, Monday through Friday. Sometimes, we actually get 911 calls.

Today was one of them. I got a CVA at the CASINO(note, because this is a small town, your 911 calls are either at a home, or at one of the very few above locations).

What I found so interesting was when I came in through the front door of the Casino(it is a rather large casino for a county of 6,000 people). I asked security where to go and they directed me straight through the casino floor, past slots, blackjack, poker, and more slots. In most situations, people gawk at us the whole way. People gather. They stop and watch. NOT at Casinos. No one seemed to even notice us.

That is until I let go of the stretcher(I was in back) and it bumped a chair occupied by a little old 80ish year old gray haired grandma. What is it that you think she said?

“What the F*#@ is your problem?!?!” she states boldly. I just look at her. “F*&%ing @ssh*le!” she yells as I walk away.

I couldn’t even type those words out–not after hearing someone who looked like my grandmother–but grayer hair and shorter–get so PO’d about me lightly bumping her chair…

Apparently this is common. About a month before I started they were working a code on the Floor of the casino and had the first in bag on a chair next to the scene. A casino patron was infuriated that they would take his friends seat–he did NOT seem to be concerned that someone was dead 4 feet away and 2 medics and 5 fire fighters were taking their turn pounding on his chest and shocking him with a couple hundred joules.

Whatever.

The Irony…

RIP Dave Freeman. Dave Freeman, Author of “100 Things to Do Before You Die” passed away Aug 17th after a fall at his home. He was 47. Scott Adams(Of Dilbert fame) let me know about it. See Scott seems fascinated by celebrities who are struck by some sort of disease/untimely death:

As most of you know, I draw a comic featuring a guy who inexplicably has no mouth, who lives with a cartoon dog that inexplicably has no mouth. And I end up with Spasmodic Dysphonia, a condition that prevents me from speaking.

Today in the news, the author of the book “100 Things to Do Before You Die” died at the age of 47 after hitting his head at home. That probably wasn’t on the list

I guess there is some irony there, and in the rest of his post.

It always makes you wonder about the things we see doctors doing… usually right after treating a patient who was doing something similar… Ie riding a motorcycle without a helmet, or speeding on the freeway, or running a red light. How many of us in health care end up dying from something we treated–and thought was stupid?

Anyways… hope ya like the new Theme. Not sure who I feel about it yet.

New blogroll addittion, freaky site… blah blah

EE over turned me on to Paracynic. I love his site. He has the sense of humor that is under appreciated in EMS. And hey… every department needs a paper pusher to keep things blocked up and slow! Check out his site… I know I’ll be all over it…

Paracynic posted about this great site in one of his recent posts… Wow is it creepy. My neighborhood apparently has a plentiful amount of kidnappers and attempted murderers.
