Observations of a ridealong...

[ambulance_princess9821]

Quick background: a friend of mine went on a ridealong at my old job, back when I was an EMT(~ 1996). I was partnered with someone known as Fucking Rizzo (name changed to protect me! but the first part is true). It was the day from hell and she came up with 10 observations of the day....

1. Ignore patients as much as possible- I don't know you, you don't know me, but tell me if you have any pain.

2. The EMT always gets fucked, if you listen closely you can hear the sound of it. It sounds like an phone ringing.

3. Chinese food shall always be disposed of out the window while driving code 3 to a BS call in another county.

4. There are times when seatbelts aren't just optional equipment.

5. You're not going fast till the speedometer doesn't register anymore.

6. Get in, sit down, shut up!

7. The day's not over till the late job comes in (see #3)

8. The Med control option always used: Drive faster!

9. EMS personnel never eat, as soon as they do the EMT is inevitably fucked!

10. It is only requires that any 2 wheels of the ambulance ever touch the ground while driving.

Darker text color would be nice. I got a neck and headache tryuing to read it. but other than that, Funny valid stuff.

Princess - I tried to read it, but was dizzy and headachy before I got to the third one! Please take pity on all of us old myopic folks and edit it to change the font colour. Please?

I would suggest strained readers hit the A key while depressing the Ctrl key, but that would just be enabling.

Trust Michael to find the easy way to do things! I hate guys who actually know what they are talking about!

It would still be good if posters used darker colors.

or post with any color at all

Try high-lighting the text like you are going to copy it or something, that makes it easier.
