Signs you are with a PDP (prima donna paramedic)

Weez, just point to their patch one the first BLS patient. They will soon get it.

:wink:

Hey PRPG, knowing you as long as I have, this "said" medic would not have lasted with you brother.

Changing the channel when everyone is watching somthing, and then pointing to their patch. Hmmmmmm I think the treatment for that would include a backboard a lot of 3inch tape and the telephone pole outside are station. Problem solved.

Ok, here's mine........we work with our hands people! Perhaps acrylic false nails weren't such a good idea in the first place. And rings! Don't even get me started.

Oh come on now LOL -- lets be fair to ALS providers -- the schmuck who changed channels on you wasn't a dick because he was a medic, he was a dick first, and then became a medic. In fact, this guy would make a great medical director!

P.S. : Anyone on this forum come to mind as the "high and mighty we hate BLSers they cant do shit" type? Or, more specifically "Every system should be paid ALS -- vollies are bullshit" Hmmmmmmm?

P.P.S: Grab a few flares a light 'em up - we're gonna have ourselves a good ole' fashioned medic-hunting!

Oh we have both medic's and emt's. The worst one is actually an EMT. Knows everything, has done evreything, wears more junk on his belt. Every time he gets in the truck somthings falling off, everytime he gets out he cant seemt to find it.

Half the day he spends re arranging all his equipment, the other half he spends trying to find it.

I carry a pen and a pair of scissors. Most of the time the pen dosent work, or it writes like every other letter, and you need the captain crunch decoder eye piece to try and figure out what my SARF says. My scissors are cracked and bent from all my critical trauma pt's. HMMMMMMMMMMMMM......NOT, its from trying to jimmey the vending machine, because it wont except any dollar bill that has been printed that day from the US mint.

One more for medics:

He can be almighty ion accident scenes, brave in the face of chest pain patients, but wilt when confronted with a basic who asks advanced questions.

Reminds me of the old riddle:

A.: That's not funny.
