In the past 7 days I've delivered a baby, had 2 cardiac arrest, had 2 patients almost bleed out, got assaulted 3 times, and have lost count of the amount if other inane and critical calls I've taken. This of course is after working the pandemic in one of the worst hit cities in the country.

Turns out I would have made 300 more dollars a week on unemployment. I don't regret it, but that stings a bit.

Edit: wow, first award. Thanks dudes

Edit 2: Whoa thanks for all the support dudes. For those wondering I'm BLS in North Jersey. Been in for just short of 10 years. I'm doing A-Okay, and thanks for asking. 2020 has just been a wild year, especially where I happen to be working. Can't wait to finally go back to school to do ALS when the world unfucks itself. This job has recently pushed the limits of "just BLS" skills, which I admit is usually just picking people up and rolling. Luckily, I'm adequately trained and try to hold myself above the standards of my cert.

Anyway, my partner just banged out for tonight. I'm happily taking the cut hours and enjoying a cold Blue Moon and some EVE Online. I'm going to revel in the lover-like embrace of my mattress tonight. Keep up the good work fellas.
