      Be careful with those. I can’t get my own blood drawn without passing out. Some people are definitely not cut out for those experiences.

        Yeah, I’ve learned some discretion over the years. I once told a story that dead ass got me sent to therapy.

      I heard a EMS war story one time that will be with me until my dying day. This guy was also a certified diver and after catching a lot of shit from a idiot about why he was working as hole watch for laborers pay on a plant shut down he shut that asshole up with it. Its one of those stories you wish you could unhear.

      As an old medic, I will warn each and everyone of you to never, ever, ever go out to eat with a group of EMS people. Unless you really want to be scarred for life.

      Life and death be real and very often not pretty.

      Oof. Tell me about it. I went to a Gen pop hospital after working in a level 1 peds ER and the other ER folks gave me “the look” when I talked about some of the stuff at the peds hospital. Non-accidental trauma cases are a special kind of PTSD.
