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.

Me telling an EMS war story that brings the vibe to a crashing halt.

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.

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.
