#emt school

[gray-glitter]

I’m taking EMT courses during my first break from college since I graduated high school in 2020 and Oh. My. Fucking. God. Who’s bright idea was it to let a bunch of sleep deprived 18-20yr old addicts take 2 classes a week for 3 months and then release them on the general population as “medical professionals”??? Like I can’t even parallel park and y’all are trusting me to drive an ambulance???

Artist renditions of my professor bullying me in class, part one

[yikes-xander]

I've been doing research about emt training n school programs n stuff bc I'm interested in pursuing a career in that (paramedic, firefighter, etc. after that bc lower level ems jobs suck pay-wise :/) so my virgo ass decided to make a google doc compiling as much info as I can find n it's already like 8 pages n I'm not done 👀

this is probably boring to like everyone so go ahead n ignore but I'm v excited about it

I just need to get a job (hopefully soon but who knows) so I can save up bc school do be expensive 😔

the signs as shit my EMT instructor has said with no context

Aries: "I am a firm believer in explosive, rapid acts of violence."

Taurus: "Drat, it must suck to die."

Gemini: "Will somebody please explain to me why I'm not high?"

Cancer: "Only ask "Why?" if you know you're going to get a good story out of it."

Leo: "Let's take a man, me for example. I'm ready to die."

Virgo: "I've never hit a baby in the face." "Well aren't you and upstanding citizen?"

Libra: "We're just out here feeding invisible pigeons at 3am because that's just where we are in our lives."

Scorpio: "Okay, there's a bad guy in here somewhere but we don't know where he is or what he looks like so we're just going to lock the doors and set the building on fire and maybe he'll die.

Sagittarius: "Am I recording? No? Okay good. You're really kinda a dumbass sometimes, buddy."

Capricorn: "Everybody is afraid of babies. Anyone who says they aren't is either soulless or a liar."

Aquarius: "They said I had internal bleeding but that's okay, that's where the blood is supposed to be, right?"

Pisces: "If you just go ahead and set your expectations super high but know in the back of your mind that you're always going to be disappointed, you're squared."

Patient Assessment

In the field 

In-class scenario

[never-not-ever]

I'm about to take my CPR test and I have a funny feeling I'm gonna ace it ☺️

When we were practicing on the dummies earlier one of the instructors asked if me and my partner have ever done it before and I said yes and he said you can tell 😚😚😚

Then the other instructor came over and said "great job on the compressions" like 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

I'm feeling so confident that I made the right decision to come back👌🏻

Fail to my spellcheck for changing your to you're.

I hurt my back by being a sim patient for the use of the back board. The ultimate irony.
