At work. I get poo poo for looking like the "spaceship spaceship" guy from the Lego movie, because I always have this stupid grin when I take pictures.



On an otherwise boring day. Department name colored out for obvious reasons.

Critter pics? Critter pic! We're opening an new lemur exhibit at work so I got some good shots because I got to go in for a sneak preview. Here's one!



There's a person who lives in my response zone for 911, that I've transported to the hospital a number of times, who has a service lemur. It's literally the coolest poo poo ever. Last time we transported her, she brought it with her to the hospital in the rescue. It sat in a seat and let us buckle it in. I was dumbfounded.

It literally just clicked for me that you were my secret santa a few years ago. The dispatcher shirt reminded me. Awesome gifts, btw. I loved the Schadenfreude book, and the firefighter calender, even though I look nothing like those studs lol.

Eh, tbf I'm sure it also depends heavily on how they approach you.

If they're a normal, well adjusted person saying "oh hey, you're a goon as well huh? I post in the selfie thread too! Cool beans." then that shouldn't be a problem, and if anyone is weirded out by that, then the problem is probably with themselves.

BUT! If they're acting awkward/creepy, then for sure I can see that being weird.

PSA: Don't be weirdos, goons.

Fuckin pumpkin allergy!
My best guess is when I got a chai tea latte from Dunkin today someone before me had a pumpkin something or other and the equipment wasn’t cleaned. And/or they used latex gloves. I’ve never had one of my allergies be life threatening before. Thank god for medics like Zippereli working today who knew to ignore my hand waving and stabilized me before transporting me to the er.
I’m home, jittery, and lightheaded but at least I can breathe again!

Glad to hear they took good care of you!

Also, Happy Thanksgiving all you beautiful nerds! I originally was slated to have the day off, but UFHealth offered me a literal ridiculous amount of money to come and work a shift in the ER tonight, so you bet your rear end I came in. That and nurses know how to throw the gently caress down on a potluck.

Yo I'm glad your friend is ok...

The flu shot this year has been less than 9% effective in preventing influenza A. Also, the flu is killing people this year. A lot of people. Be smart! Wash your hands and wash them often. The flu is viral. If you get it, there's nothing we can do for you but offer sympathy and good advice. It has to run it's course and do it's thing.

Also, regardless of this year's flu shot being ineffective, it's still better than nothing. Get a flu shot. I've been in close contact with (at last count) 32 flu positive patients in my ambulance, and have yet to get the flu *knocks wood*.

Get your flu shot, people! unless you can't for health reasons. And no, you don't get the flu from the shot. So don't even try saying it

I think the main reason for this medical bias is that everyone knows the most important factor in making a correct diagnosis is having a penis. It's like an antenna through which medical knowledge is recieved when making a diagnosis, and if you don't have one then I'm sorry but the people with penises cannot trust your judgement.

As with many questions in life, the penis is the answer.

As a paramedic with a penis, can confirm.

A lipoma or cyst or something. It's over quadrupled in size since I mentioned it, what, two days ago? Going to the doctor tomorrow. Bodies are terrible.

Make sure you see a specialty like Dermatology. If you go to your PCP, he/she is gonna take one look and tell you that you need a specialty consult, take your co-pay, and be on his/her way.

If you cut out the middle man, you can go to Dermatology and they should be able to diagnose and fix you up in 1 visit. I had a cyst under my arm that popped up that my PCP told me he couldn't do poo poo about after waiting 2 months for an appointment.
