Important EMS pro tip. When police ask you to advise on a call, such as a domestic assault or overdose, do not - DO NOT- call over the radio that the scene is safe for PD Apparently police command takes it personal

EMS Not allowed in the fire stations so we park in school parking lots, church parking lots, behind gas stations, under over passes. Still fun discussions image

One positive about being early to work every shift is when you don’t show up people get worried you have been in a car wreck or deathly sick. The same day management forgot to mark me as on vacation. One of our frequent no-shows didn’t show up as well. I was called by three people. The other was in the hospital and no one called to find him.

EMS life. Calls come in clusters, type and frequency. Last night 12 falls went out in a row through out the county. Had not had a fall call in 8 hours. I’m pretty sure gravity did not shift at 0140 for 20 min. (Do not understand why a nursing home can’t pick someone up when they fall.)

Adding one fire fighter to each truck is about $92 million a year. Brining EMS up to the same pay as fire fighters is $88 million a year. Of course priority is fire. image

Never thought we would see Thomas, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson on the right side of a case. They up held the right of a Soldier to sue a military contractor for negligence. 6-3.

Well I got a big refund this year Between the higher standard deduction and no tax on overtime I dropped into a lower tax bracket Why won’t people running for office support increasing the standard deduction and making tips overtime exemptions permeate? That is a worker issue! image

So when the disgruntled fire fighter sets his truck on fire while streaming “all you had to do was pay us a living wage” Will people boycott the government? image
