Now there is plans for a spinoff with some of your favorite characters.

My Last Day as an EMT:

As I finished my last day as an EMT, I think back on many calls I've had in 20 years. I'm not retiring from working, but EMS. Statistics say EMT's, medics get burned out around 3 to 5 years. Well, I got to say I did pretty damn good, it took me 18.

Why now you may ask? Covid! Covid is to blame for many things like, no workers, no supplies and all the Karen's of the world. It is also to be blamed for me wanting out of EMS, and the anger I feel with our treatment.

In the last 2 years we've been tasked with extra duties like, disinfecting anything and everything, wearing masks and PPE and then there is the risk of death. We also have double the call volume as we have a short supply on EMT's. Classrooms I have been told have 40% less students to become EMT's. Why? I think the word got out on how under paid we are and the sh*tstorm we are now in since 2020.

There was a bright spot in EMS when we were essential because we are risking our lives caring for the Covid patients. We were getting free coffee, food, a warm thank you from strangers. We even got hazard pay. Yes, those were good times back in March 2020 to June 2020.

Now once again, we are forgotten. No more free goodies, no extra money. Instead, we have so many less EMT's that we now have a driver with no EMS experience. If things go bad, it's just me. I don't have help. Unless my driver can figure out how to use the radio to call for back up. That will be at least 3 minutes or more till they arrive and hell, it is likely a truck won't be available as we have a shortage of FU***NG EMT's!

The real kick in the ass to me was when I found out my driver, with no experience was making $3.50 less than me. There are some EMT's that have been with my company that were making less than the driver.

Private ambulance companies do everything to get new recruits but seem to do nothing to keep their veteran EMT's. There was one guy who was making $17 an hour and was with the company for 2 years. He asked for a raise, and they said no! Well, he went somewhere else. They paid his replacement off the street with 2 days experience $18 an hour to join the company. They lost a loyal employee who was reliable, all because you couldn't offer him a little more. Guess what? That new guy only lasted a month and now they have 2 less EMT's. How on earth do you not realize this doesn't work? I wish my fellow EMT's luck and be safe out there. As for Private ambulance companies, wake up! Veteran employees are your backbone.
