I'm a paramedic

"You must have some great stories of your time on the job."

"Yes. Yes, I do."

Many stories you'll hear from EMS people often start off something like "we were on this call...." but many of mine are along the lines of "we were sitting on our corner, minding our own business, when...". A lot of unusual things happen to you on this job and not all of them occur when you're saving a life.
I've had an exciting ride working the best job with the best people in the greatest city in the world. Welcome to my stories. Every story I've told here really happened. Some essays are rants about things I felt that need to be said. Many details and names have been changed to protect privacy. Please note that I do not represent the agency I work for on this page and all the opinions expressed are my own.
