Well it's been a while.
I've been stressed out, after all they don't call me burnout for nothing!
I got into some trouble at work. I was called into the office for counseling and put on 6 months probation. 6 months for telling it like it is.
You see after a long day of ambulance calls 12 to be exact. I responded to a call at 2 A. M. for "one unconscious". Now to most "unconscious"Means: unresponsive,without consciousnesss, insensible, lacking awareness, (NOT I'M DRUNK). So on arrival we find the front door of the home open, we knock and step in to a house that is just really nasty. Cloths,food, dirt and garbage on the floor. Roaches are crawling up the walls. We hear someone say come in here. My partner and I turn the corner to find a 25 year old man setting in a chair and a woman standing beside him. I ask did you call for an Ambulance. The woman replies "yes I did" . I ask what's going on She replies "He need to go to the hospital". I ask why? What's going on. She says and I quote"HE'S DRUNK, WHAT THE HELL YOU THANK IS WRONG". Now remember I have already maid 12 calls before this. Out of those 12 calls only 1 was a true emergency. so I'M tired and I'm ell. I respond to this Lady with "you called 911 and got an Ambulance and a Fire truck out at 2 A.M. in the morning because he's drunk". She says. "YES I DID"! I look at the man and ask him "do you want to go the the Hospital". He replies "no I want to go to bed". I then "say why are we here? You are waisting every ones times. Don't call us again unless he's Dieing."
Well She called the Chief the next day and complained, NEVER MIND, SHE WAS FILTHY,STUPID, and Waisting every ones time ,costing the taxpayers money, and putting MY LIFE in DANGER as I respond to her home with Lights and Sirens, darting through traffic at brake neck speed because we think someone is "UNCONSCIOUS".
I get 6months probation and she gets an apology.
Sometimes my life sucks!!!!!!!
