new year...new partner


Recommended Posts

I note the tongue in cheek, but you know this is a real problem in EMS, we have all had this partner. My best advice is to make his/her life a living hell while riding with you. Some acceptable tactics:

1. Demand to read the patient care report on every call, and question everything on it, before you sign it.

2. Come to work early, mess with everything on the truck -- rearrange the jump bag, the cabinets, his/her seat.

3. Jump every call you can, even after midnight.

4. Hit the potholes.

5. Dont shower, dont use breathmints during the shift.

6. Talk every minute of every non-patient minute. Talk about anything/everything.

7. Take up a new religion, and explain its benefits to him/her, and why he/her are going to hell.

8. Bring smelly foods for lunch/dinner/snacks. Tunafish sandwiches every day.

9. Put the radio on the most offensive channel to this person, or bring some CDs to work (chanting monks).

10. Call his/her spouse and tell them how sexy you find your new partner.

LOL. Well except number 2 that could harm patients. I really do like #1 if partner is lazy, making sure report is right is just CYA.

Since he acts like he's working out and drinking protein shakes whenever we're not running calls, I was thinking an interesting dumbell accident or maybe even something in one of his health drinks to make it look like a lethal allergic reaction to soy.

So did you get an unsolicited invitation to the gun show?
