So I have been doing my externs, woohoo, I am graduating in about 3 weeks, FINALLY, and have been riding with different ambulance companies for the past month. I have to say, when I first start school, the only company I really wanted to work for was Grady.. However, after riding with them so many times, I have can now say that I in NO WAY want to work downtown. Not that I don't love the city, calm down people, only that the people that I must deal with on a daily basis, as an EMT downtown is bullshit. You get the most bullshit calls, crackheads who are beat up and so fucked up they are about do die from the amount of crack they just did, having heart attacks and not even noticing!!! It's insane to me. It makes me ill that some people just do not care about themselves at all............... and to be honest, maybe cuz I am a bitch, who knows, but if you don't give a shit about what you do to yourself, why should we? We are wasting a ton of money on picking up people, treating them, keeping them alive, just so we can pick those same people up in a week, cuz of the same damn thing. It is so frustrating to me.
I guess I am a snob afterall, but I don't give a shit. I would rather work somewhere were at least most of our calls are for true emergencies..... if that makes sense.
Maybe I am just rambling and being bitching right now cuz I just got off a long shift, working in the rain, and storms, and I already had the flu..... ugg..... I am going to bed....
