Insulting your Medics...

Folks, it is never a good idea to insult your medical providers after they have just pulled you out of a multi vehicle wreck and are transporting you to a Level I trauma center... saying our driver drives like a grandmother and insulting me and an experienced paramedic who are working on bandaging your injuries, managing your pain level, and splinting your injured arm might make the difference between us attempting to gently roll up the sleeve on your very expensive jacket to inspect your arm visually before we splint it, or just cutting through said jacket with trauma shears.

In other news...

I ask you to keep the members of one of my Fire Companies in your thoughts and prayers, in the last few weeks one of our larger apparatus was involved in a serious car wreck which injured several members, and another member recently passed away in an unrelated incident.
