TOP TEN SIGNS YOU'RE WORKING WITH A WANNABE SUPERHERO EMT-Paramedic MORON
10. Can dish out jokes, but can not take them.
9. He reminds you constantly of how Basics are the subordinate (usually without provocation and without proper employee supervision training).
8. The wraparound sunglasses never come off, even on cloudy days, indoors, or on moonless nights in the middle of the forest. (My own experience was a couple of Medics doing this)
7. Constantly hovering over patients due to lack of "sticks" needed for recert.
6. The police officers on scene really don't care how many thousands of hours of training he has, but will humor him and listen anyways.
5. Has to make up as many excuses as possible why he could not perfom intubation or could not get a stick.
4. He spends more money on stethoscopes, PDA's, and EMS magazine subscriptions then he has on shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant in the past five years.
3. Patients suddenly "feel much better" when they arrive at definitive care.
2. Patients are blissfully unaware that he has his panties in a permanent bunch.
1. He gets really, really, really, angry when you tell him "I'll drive!"
