I’m almost done with EMT school, and I can verify this 100%. We don’t give a shit what you’ve taken or how illegal it may be. We want to know what and how much so we can save your ass. Unless its directly related to a crime scene in some way, we don’t tell.
It makes me enraged and also deeply saddened that the police state has become so entwined with every aspect of our lives that people are afraid to tell the truth to people trying to render them with emergency care. We’ve broken ourselves.
Boost because everyone should know!!!
My uncle was an EMT and I can verify this is true.
It’s a hundred percent true the only time police will be involved Is if you have endangered the lives of another adult or child. Until that happens you will not get in trouble, your life means more to a doctor than the mistakes you made to put yourself in that position
Beyond the legal concerns, I know some of the people at my school are embarrassed to admit things to EMS workers (because they feel like an idiot for drinking too much or mixing drugs and don’t want to admit that they fucked up, I guess). Listen very closely: I guarantee any EMS worker has seen weirder shit than you. I guarantee it. The EMT or paramedic isn’t going to judge you for being an idiot, okay? They want to make sure you live through whatever mess you ended up in, that’s their priority, that’s their job. Tell them the truth. ALWAYS.
I once saw someone point out something I hadn’t really considered before- libraries are one of the only places that are warm and dry where you can stay for long periods of time if you have no money. If you’re someone with nowhere to go during the daytime, they provide a safe environment in which to keep a roof over your head for a while- and all while you can access information.
So yes. This.
It’s weird…libraries almost feel /wrong/ now. It’s like I walk in and think “This is great…where do I put my money?”
In a creative writing class I took last semester, the author originally gave up writing and his hope of being an author. He began to write a story for his own pleasure and posted each chapter on his own blog as he wrote them. People found it, grew to like it. They would point out mistakes and such and he’d go back and fix them. He finished it on the blog. One person couldn’t access it on his blog at one point, so he made a downloadable pdf version for free. Someone couldn’t download taht, so he made an ebook version of it, but had to put it on amazon so they could get it, but you can’t sell anything on amazon that’s less than $0.99. People started buying it via amazon and it got so popular that he took it to a publishing company.
tl;dr Never give up writing, even if it means it’s just a side-hobby for your own pleasure
the author actually worked at the same company as my dad for tech writing stuff. he said that once he made more off the book than he did at work he would leave his job. and he did eventually haha. the company went to see the movie together when it came out. don’t give up on the things you love doing! c:
This sort of behavior used to irritate me until I learned about how invasive paparazzi are in America. There are no laws against it. I’ve also realized, that by flipping off the camera, the pictures can’t be sold to magazines because of “profanity”. So really, she’s just protecting herself.
i did not know that.
Reblogging for the frightening amount of people that this is new information for.
where a grad student becomes a supervillain for extra credit since their doctoral committee is lowkey three of the city’s supervillains. and they meet the hero who is cute and charming and idealistic. and damn, extra credit is so not worth this. but damn, grad school is expensive and the job market is competitive
“there’s good in you”
“i really think all that’s in me at this point is ramen, red bull and spite”
Just letting y’all know I’ve scrolled past that “reblog or your mom will die in x amount of seconds” post several times and nothings happened. She’s fine. Don’t worry about it. I promise nothing will happen to your mother if you don’t reblog it. Fuck the person who made that post in the first place because it’s just cruel and does nothing but play around with people’s anxiety.
