This guy is dead on. Was an EMT for 7 years. Broke my back for it. Still would go back to it if I could. Oh, and tits or gtfo.
SpasticTactician
This would be reasonable if what happened online didn't have real world ramifications. But that's not the way it works.
SavageGentleman
Respect.
RazvanR
Great. Now TITS or GTFO !
GeNessel378
...I did.
simplexanonymous
Good to know your EMT who doesn't understand the dynamics of domestic abuse will blame you for your being murdered.
mindolluin
This is funny!
dublecross
The end made it for me, because I know people like that.
ford1svt
As a former cop, I can attest to the fact that sometimes those who deal with death on a daily basis can be desensitized assholes (cont...)
ford1svt
Thankfully, OP does not sound like one of them. +1 to you, sir.
SafeNafe
That... was beautiful.
itsaidmoops
As a lawyer, I read shit all day long and some people have a talent for writing. This person has it and I hope they know it.
makey
I'm upvoting this image in the hope that the original OP from 4chan will receive my honest thanks for the insight he gave me here today. TY!
havesomebacon
This is why i love the internet.

As a paramedic this hits home. tits or GTFO

This is what I love about /b/. A completely open forum where anyone can say whatever and act however they please.
AbsolutelyWeird
and some people on imgur are complaining about heartbreak..when one accepts life as it is, as ugly as it is, that's when u deserve attention
Ahveeah
Thank you!

Being in the military, i could relate to this. Life is awesome i think, but its for sure not sunshine & rainbows all the time

If Dr. Cox knew about 4chan, Scrubs would have been a lot more boring.

Scrubs was never boring.

I'm not buying this plea. My dad is an ER doc and the best man I know. My mom is a clinical psychologist and still the brightest person(1)

Your life experiences are not an excuse to be an asshole or not an asshole. If you choose to be an ass, then....your'e just an ass. (fin)

Agreed, thank you. Sometimes people like dicking around for fun, but fine line between that and being an actual dick to people.

Woah.
cerberus63
Yeah... pretty much.
Gladosc
I zoomed the picture, read it, said "Woah", unzoomed and then saw your comment...upvote for you, sir.

That's really what I thought when I read it too. So I typed it. Didn't think it would get so many points, haha.

EMT's can't declare people dead
WhiteRaven
They can be declaired dead on scene in their report. If the person has no pulse they do try to revive them though. Well... If its possible
Lanian
Yes we can, but mostly for obvious reasons. ie, decapitation.
makescreamogreatagain
I think it might just've been an issue of semantics. I've come to learn that people are either REALLY good at bullshitting, or
makescreamogreatagain
telling the truth. This seems like one of those truth things. At least to me.

DontTouchMyDrumset
As an EMT myself, thats all true, but that was overly dramatic.
loyalscout
As a fellow EMT, I see many more LOL FDGBs then these scenarios.
loyalscout
The big calls are easy. Dealing with the same BS while still being compassionate and caring over and over again is the hard part.
rvleshrac
"This is shit I normally do, and the mindset in which I do it, which has nothing whatsofuckingever to do with my free time." Not dramatic.
temotodochi
Duh, it's from 4chan. Stale yabbering will just get your post buried.
Acephalous
90% of the time it's stubbed toes and 'chest pain'.
DontTouchMyDrumset
This made me LOL
Pudgesicle
"... stupidity of women who get beaten ..." Does he not know anything about the cycle of violence? It's not so black/white.
itsliz
Yeah, the stupidity of that woman? How about the stupidity of the scumbag who is beating her within an inch of her life!
beansmcgee
yeah i had a major problem with that part :/ I can't believe no one else has brought it up!!!
extraordinarily
thank you!! I was scrolling through the comments to make sure he got called out for victim blaming.
pr0nty
Same!
ohmegatron
Did you notice the part where he said jaded?
Pudgesicle
I did. Nevertheless, he's perpetuating the stigma and blame - and according it to the wrong person.
ohmegatron
Or maybe he's also placing blame on the perpetrator, but not saying it because it goes without saying.
Pudgesicle
doesn't know the cycle, it doesn't seem logical to stay.
Pudgesicle
I don't think so. I've been around way too many law enforcement officers who blame the woman. (I know he's EMT, but...) To someone who
awefulcrowded23
Seems like an EMT would know that EMTs can't pronounce people dead. Just saying.

that's what I meant, I was just pointing out why it was fake

hunterh92
EMTs can declare death actually. Source: I am an EMT
awefulcrowded23
what state do you live in? I keep finding sources that say it varies from state to state but no state I've looked at allows it.
Implet
You can't here in IL, but you can receive orders to withhold CPR for obvious signs of death and such. But the coroner still needs to declare
awefulcrowded23
that's what I had heard

jonnymoon5
different parts of the country have different SOPs. and also, when there are obvious signs of death (rigor, decapitation etc...) EMTs can.
awefulcrowded23
no, they can triage as if the individual is dead, they cannot legally pronounce. I checked.
Implet
Didn't they change it everywhere to SOG's? Or is that just in a few states?
jonnymoon5
Scope of Practice.
damspam
I was thinking that. Maybe when you get up to the EMT-P level you can do that fancy stuff? Those guys seem like wizards from a basic lvl
awefulcrowded23
No. Only physicians can declare death, not EMTs, this is almost certainly a fake
damspam
Ah well. It's also amusing how people assume anyone with that occupation is suffering from PTSD or some shit like that
DontLetTheCaveInGetYouDown
*in the U.S.
awefulcrowded23
fair point, though I would assume other countries wouldn't use the US designation of EMT for their certified first responders
potshot
EMT is a common designation in anglophonic countries. Even if he's not anglophonic, he probably used the word EMT because saying he was a(1)

"EH" or something similar would just confuse people.(2)

Waah waah waah EMT, Try army combat medic you fuck twat...

I choose your mom's stomach.
yuyufan43
My ex was an EMT... He released his built up anger on me. So now I have PTSD when ever I see an EMT... 1/2
yuyufan43
It sucks that he took the trust away towards people that save lives. I feel like I ca trust no one in the real world.
yuyufan43
... But I keep trying... I hope someday it will be worth it.

BLAH BLAH BLAH your mouth.

This needs the old lady from yes man. In .gif form!
Gnoevoet
Yes, going through fucked up stuff is a great reason to yell "TITS OR GTFO". One can't go without the other.
QWTFODDBALL
Glad you understand. Now GTFO unless you have some TITS.
stole
especially after a day he described.
CaptainButtbeard
Yeah, a rough day for me is getting yelled at and being called a cunt.
Symbiosis
A rough day for me is buttering my bread in the morning, when i really wanted jam.
CaptainButtbeard
How can you keep going?
DorthLous
A rough day is 10 000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

I want to stir my coffee but all my spoons are dirty so I had to use a butter knife.

Its meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife.
Matty3D
Yup. Until my wife had our daughter, I'd play games like Left 4 Dead. 1/2
Matty3D
People would look at me weird when they heard I play violent video games to stress release. 2/3
Matty3D
3/3 Now I play with my daughter to stress release.
AsYouCanSeeTheresNothingToSee
Which Character is she usually playing? Zoey?
Matty3D
She just watches right now (she's only 11mo) but she'll play soon enough!
InfamousGerbil
People looked at you weird for playing Left 4 Dead? That's not even... what the hell
Matty3D
They found it weird that I played violent video games to release stress. I said it was better to take my stress out on zombies than people.
InfamousGerbil
All I'm saying is, that's not really much of a 'violent game.' At least relatively.
MySecondAccount
They found it weird that you do something that's perfectly normal?
WeShouldReallyJoinTogetherToCleanTheInternetFromPervertedKids
Exactly, I wish people could tell that I was in a shit mood until I get home to burn off steam in violent video games.
