Richard B the EMT Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 What do you guys eat ?Stuff that everyone knows is bad for us to eat, in abundance. When I was fieldside, I started packling lunch, and eating whenever I had the chance near "mealtime". The "sniffer" that tells the dispatcher there's food in the cab works quite well on PBJ sandwiches.

medicgirl05 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Usually in the summer months we try to keep some gatorade in the truck for hydration, especially lately with all the fire standbys we have been going to. It is pretty funny that here we try to find snacks that no one else will eat. Mostly if you keep fruit or yogurt you are in the clear, but if you keep cookies or something yummy everyone else will help themselves.

I miss the days of smoking the pt's pot with them while we were transporting to the hospital. Luckily there was a 7-11 next to the hospital and we'd raid the Twinkie aisle on the way back from the hospital. 1
flamingemt2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Relax Frances, I said wine, not Jack Daniels.
ERDoc Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 If you are drinking anything that contains alcohol while on duty, you have no right to touch a patient, ever. 3
flamingemt2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 But its ok for half of our workforce to be taking Lortab or be zoned out on antidepressants. It would take a whole lot of wine to put someone over the edge.
ERDoc Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I can't argue the legal narcotic use. It scares the hell out of me to think of the massive amounts of legal drugs people are on and still driving around.
Vorenus Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 But its ok for half of our workforce to be taking Lortab or be zoned out on antidepressants. It would take a whole lot of wine to put someone over the edge. How do you define "a whole lot of"? Or what do you mean with wine? `Cause the wine I know, doesn`t fit into the statement above...
