Learned today from someone doing work in a border town in Texas that paramedics/EMTs have been instructed to not respond to medical emergencies inside detention camps.
Think about that.
Think about that.

I have seen several bumper stickers that suggest a bunch of people don't know "baby on board" is a message to EMTs, not tailgaters...

The last thing I remember from that day was being in the ambulance and one of the EMTs saying “You’re in rough shape, buddy.”

Happy National First Responder Day!
Today we honor the firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, police, and dispatchers who run toward danger when others run away.
As a firefighter & paramedic, I know the sacrifice it takes, and in Congress, I’ll always fight for those who serve.

The “secretary of war” looks like he’s “ready” for the EMTs to show up with some medical assistance.

I could hardly talk by the time they got there, forming sentences was really difficult and my thoughts were very muddled. I managed to unlock my phone to give the EMTs my partner’s phone number & my son’s phone number as emergency contacts.
They got me loaded into the ambulance and took me to HCMC.

Absolutely. Though I'd be more willing to trust EMTs and the Fire Department to bear witness if it came to it.

It wasn't initially for that. It was supposed to deter people from driving aggressively around the car. EMTs say it doesn't make a difference because they're trained to check the whole vehicle anyway. And most people don't take them down when the baby isn't in the car. What were the ones you saw?

Allerdings würdest Du für das Gehalt eines Paramedics oder EMTs in den USA nicht aufstehen.
(Und ich würde in den USA gar kein Fast Food essen.)

Might say screw it and enroll in paramedic courses to continue my education (EMTs and paramedics are similar but different - paramedic has more they can do legally, like start IVs and give certain drugs)

i passed out mid-flight (as I often tend to do) and woke up to learn that apparently someone had a medical issue en route and EMTs are waiting at the gate to board the plane 😳

For 10 min until the EMTs showed up. It was agonizing, everyone was crying. So they get her out on a stretcher and we’re trying to salvage the vibe.
Fast forward a bit and my photo booth guy is in a side room and accidentally overhears a phonecall saying she’s passed but they’re not telling anyone
