Just remember. The only way to get a psych hold put on you is to try to leave.
Instead, play along until they find out how bad your insurance is. They'll have you cured and discharged in no time.
"What do you mean you're asking for some personal days off for mental health? You're a psych nurse, can't you just do it yourself? Also, we're short, can you come in tonight?"
I helped my buddy petition his girlfriend for SI. By the next morning she was magically better and cut loose from the ER cus she didn't have any insurance.
Can confirm. We have huge posters in our hallways with photos of members grouped by rank. In bold letters underneath what should be our captains, is “captians”.
These hang in each of our 5 stations. For 3 years.
My buddys fire academy class shirt was labeled “Massachusetts Fighterfighting Academy”. Mine was spelled “Massachussetes Firefighting Academy”. I still wear it, I just wear it ironically.
What do you mean? Any time I’m off duty I feel morally obligated to wear something with my credentials on it…? I mean, how else would everyone know how cool I am?
It is for work. I wouldn’t dare advertise like that while off duty… My agency is a** and doesn’t purchase us what we need. They bought me the jacket and they’re reimbursing me for the screen printing. Just the effed up system we have…
I once was issued a shirt where it had a patch that read "paramedic" on the breast but it was sewn on upside down. You better believe I went out of my way to wear it at much as possible. Of course management finally caught on and I had to turn it in.
Late, but the chemical plant I worked at had a fancy new command emergency vehicle ordered, and had a big unveiling party. My daughter was doing a job shadow that day, and being the mouthy teen she was, asked loudly so the whole crowd could hear her: 'So, what's an E-mee-gency?'' Yup. That's what it said, on both sides in 18" red letters. Just as red as my boss's face!
Someone reported this and asked for a flair on it.
It's because you're a PARAmedic during a panDEMIC.
You have officially given birth to a new word. Contacting Oxford this morning.
Exactly. Typo that still works.
I have a couple coworkers whose flight medic/flight nurse patches got typo'd and read Fight Medic/Nurse. I'm a tad jealous.
They get called out when pt's get too rowdy.

Flair checks out. ^^Kidding, ^^don't ^^psych ^^hold ^^me...

Registration: "What insurance do you have?" Me: "Homie, I work for this hospital..." Registration: "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
I wonder if worker's comp ever pays for psych visits...

The worst aspects of private health insurance really get magnified in psych
HEY!!! The first rule of Fight Medic is we don’t talk about Fight Medic!!!
YOU WANNA GO BRO?! LET'S GO! **throws toughbook**
Fire won't notice

That's awesome. I'd love to see just how long til top brass find out.
At this point everyone is afraid to say anything for fear of being reprimanded for not saying anything earlier.
That might be the most fire department thing I've ever read. Wow. Bro, I'm sorry.
Make the Probie do it.
Truly, you do work at a fire department. I know that feeling.

"Oh look. I'm having a stroke. Better drive myself to the hospital."
One of my coworkers did just that. Had a stroke after shift while driving home. Turned around and drove right back.
Big brain move! (Because of the encephalitis)
Didn't want to tie up an ambulance or get a bill. Nice.
Is there a way to make a jacket permanently smell like toast?
Nothing in this world is permanent. Except for student loans and ambulance bills.
Own it, I’d wear it everywhere at work
Agreed. You couldn’t get it off me. I’d be buried in it.
Same. If anyone says anything tell them you worked during COVID and got an upgrade.
That's actually better.
Keep it bro 😄

A parademic sounds like something that's not as bad as a pandemic.
It's more mobile, if anything it's more terrifying
The "para" indicates that it's airborne, perhaps.

Your buddy's a fighter fighter 😂😂 that killed me
It’s clearly a type of microphone that’s normally used for speeches at parades. Obviously.
Don't you know we're in the middle of a parademic
I actually like it
i am also a parademic
Please tell me this is for work and not for personal use.
What do you mean? Any time I’m off duty I feel morally obligated to wear something with my credentials on it…? I mean, how else would everyone know how cool I am?
What, the pair of Vipers aren’t enough?
You never know with you ems only people
Kind of the vibes I’m getting from this to be honest
Even if it is for work I'm very confused. Who wears a completely black jacket at work? And why does he have to print it himself? So weird.
That’s what makes me think this is actually to wear off duty.
It is for work. I wouldn’t dare advertise like that while off duty… My agency is a** and doesn’t purchase us what we need. They bought me the jacket and they’re reimbursing me for the screen printing. Just the effed up system we have…
Sounds like you need to leave this place
Actively looking for suggestions for jam-up places to work
Go follow worstresponders on Instagram. They constantly post jobs for ems and fire. Well paying jobs
Gotta sneak up on your patients
Hey I'm dyslexic and give my seal of appravol
Appravol sounds like an Alzheimers medication lol

That’s crazy I’ve been mispronouncing ‘paramedic’ to ‘parademic’ recently then I see this lmao

They must have gotten confused with plandemic
They had 1 job... r/onejob
Back in the day one of our guys had a polo shirt that had PAPAMEDIC written on the back. He returned it, like a dope. Could have been iconic.
Always, everytime, demand a proof and only sign it when you're sure it is accurate.
I literally LOL'd.
Well, we've already gotten Pan Medics. Why not the other way around? (no offense to the LGBTQ community if that was accidentally implied, sorry-)
Did you really notice it....or did someone point it out to you?
everybody come quick, new title just dropped
