You’re going to watch people die. You’re going to see them die and hear them die and everyone is going to look to you. Stay calm, take a deep breath, and remember why you’re here. To help them. And every time you do, a piece of yourself will stay with them no matter their outcome, but the key is to not let it ruin you. Don’t let it take all of you because if it does, next time you’ll have nothing to give. No one should suffer because of that.

Reblog if you promise to be there for Medblr/Nurblr/Rescublr

I Promise to be there if:

You’ve had a bad call

Its been a long shift

Your patient has taken a turn for the worse

The day is just not going your way

You feel like you could do better

For anything at all, even if its not work related

And especially for the good news and great days

Feel free to message me and I will be there to talk you through anything at all. Don’t bottle it up, and don’t let it eat you. We all chose this life for one reason or another. We all understand what its like to be at the lowest of lows and the highest highs. If you need a shoulder to lean on, I’ll be here.

As first responders, we see shit on a daily basis that most only can imagine seeing in their nightmares. It beats us up and scars us forever. I will never look at this world in the same way again. Many of my brothers and sisters of emergency services fight a battle on a daily basis in their mind. Mental illness is nothing to joke about. At some point you have to stop taking care of others and focus on yourself. Find a healthy coping mechanism, find a release. I’m so sick that the ones who are there in your darkest hour are the ones who don’t come forward for help in their’s. It’s okay to say you need help. And know I’ll always be here.

LISTEN UP AGAIN KIDS STOP REBLOGGING THIS FUCKING GARBAGE POST. IT IS 100% FUCKING BULLSHIT AND CAN AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL LITERALLY KILL. DO YOU NOT SEE WARNING LABELS THAT SAY “DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING”? THEY AREN’T FUCKING AROUND. YOU CAN FUCKING BURN THEIR ESOPHAGUS BY CAUSING VOMITING, CAUSE CHOKING, DROWNING, OR MAKE IT WORSE! AGAIN DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING DOWN ANYONE’S THROAT. THEY. CAN. DROWN. IF SOMEONE IS LOSING CONCIOUSNESS ALL THE CHIT CHAT IN THE WORLD WILL NOT PREVENT IT AT THAT POINT THEY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER. “Buuut i don’t wanna take them to the hospital!!!” WELL SUNSHINE GLAD YOU’D RATHER HAVE A DEAD FRIEND THAN A LIVING ONE BUT YOU’RE IN LUCK CALL FUCKING POISON CONTROL. THEY ARE NOT THE COPS. THEY WILL HELP YOU. AND IF THEY SAY GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL YOU GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. NO EXCUSES. 0. NONE. I have seen this shit cross my dash SO MANY TIMES so PLEASE fucking reblog this and prevent some well meaning idiot from accidentally killing someone they love!

This but call EMS first and then call poison control while we are on the way over. Poison control can only do so much over the phone and depending what the person took they might have a very small window of time left before dying.

I’m a paramedic, but nobody taught me how to sit an 86 year old gentleman down to tell him his wife of 65 years has died in her sleep. Nobody taught me how to watch as the desire for life leaves his eyes the moment I break the earth shattering news that would change his life forever. Nobody taught me how to accept a torrent of abuse from a complete stranger, just because they have been drinking all day and want a lift home. Nobody taught me how to reason with the aggressive patient I’ve just met; overdosed, but needing my help to breathe. Nobody taught me how to talk to someone so depressed that they have just slit their own wrists, panicked and called for help. Nobody taught me how to respond when they turned to me and said “I can’t even get suicide right”. Nobody taught me how to bite my tongue when I went 2 hours over my finish time for someone who’d been ‘generally unwell’ for 24 hours. Nobody taught me how to accept that I would miss out on things other people take for granted; birthdays, Christmas day, meals at normal times of the day, sleep. Nobody taught me how to hold hands with a dying person as they take their last breath, how to hold back the tears because it’s not my grief. Nobody taught be how to keep a straight face whilst a young man explains exactly what happened to the end of his hoover. Nobody taught me how to act when a patient pulls a knife on me. Being a paramedic is so much more than swooping in and saving lives; it’s about dealing with the most unique, challenging experiences and just going home at the end of the shift, being asked ‘how was your day’ and replying ‘fine thanks’. Being a paramedic is about constantly giving a bit of yourself to every patient, because although it’s our 5th patient of the day and we can’t remember their name it’s their first ambulance, their loved one, their experience. It’s about the bits that nobody taught me how… It’s about providing pain relief and reassurance to a 90 year old lady who’s fallen and hurt her hip, and despite all the pain she turns and says “Thank you, how are you?”. It’s about a hug that you give someone on Christmas Day because they haven’t spoken to anyone for days, they have no relatives or companions but you’ve brightened up their day. It’s about climbing in the car next to someone and saying ‘Don’t worry, we’ll have you out of here in just a moment’ It’s about everything that we do that the media doesn’t publicize, It’s about knowing that we couldn’t attend to the dying man because we were dealing with a drunk… who then assaulted one of us. I’m a Paramedic, But Nobody Taught Me How…

I tell all of my new hires and probies: you’re going to see things, nasty things, scary things, things that shouldn’t make you laugh but you’re going to laugh anyway. You will see death, abuse, neglect, suffering, and pain. It is the toughest moment to realize that you will be exposed to all and more of this and your first time can affect you in many ways. Talk to someone. Go seek and start seeing a counselor. It will help. Some will handle the worst better than others, others will handle the lighter with more emotion. Take the actions needed to not let the bad things stay with you for a long time.

Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away, or eat it away, or starve it away, or punch it away, or even therapy it away. It’s just there and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it, and love it, and move on and be better for it … across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.

Total 180 from my last painting haha XD Felt like making something super creepy last night (the heavily shadowed Anti piece lol), and today just felt like making something lighthearted and goofy. I haven’t done a whole lot with the dapper boi yet so he got the attention today :D
