Like the title says I have somethings that I need to get off my chest and get answers to. I am going to list them in numerical fashion so that they are easier for you guys to answer, and well..... here it goes. 1. For those that have done IFT and emergency calls, I have found that I feel more stress on the IFT side then I do on the emergency side have you guys found this as well? 2. A newer EMT asked me this and I was not really sure how to answer him without sounding like I have no soul LMAO! His question was "How do i give a conscious person a painful stimuli when I'm trying to establish there GCS on a IFT and not feel bad about it?" 3. When you work at a service like most others I assume, that has a shit ton of gossip flying around how do you go about making the best name for your self? 4. Over the years I was fortunate and unfortunate enough to work some jobs that have now turned me into an hour churning machine and a person not scared of hard work. I am use to doing a minimum of 60 hours a week and feel lazy when I don't, But have noticed i am getting a little tired of being one of the few that seems to being picking up extra shifts while others lounge. What should i do? 5. Why is it that my favorite food item when I'm working on the ambulance is ice cream and slushes? 6. When people asked me how I liked working my first code and I told them it was "exhilarating, made me feel alive, and I would be ready to do another code right then" they kind of looked at me like was crazy. So.... am I? and finally my last..... 7. If your partner farts in the truck and its a SBD (silent but deadly) and he locked the windows so you couldn't get away from it. What would you do to get him back? Well thanks for answering any of these questions or all of them and I look forward to seeing your answers.
