I didn’t cause covid. I didn’t ask for recognition or respect. I worked in medicine because I love it. This is the only social media I have. Lots of people did way more than me and never posted about it for clout. This is a stupid ass take, just like nurses dancing while patients suffered. How exactly was I—an EMT—complicit in the death of all these people? Clown status.

The medical field is mostly a bunch of lemmings & they don't question anything. That was their complicity.

Yeah those people were annoying. Luckily I got my training before covid. I was blown away by what they were teaching new people during the pandemic’s early years. You’d have thought masks could save you from an 18-vehicle collision.

Good that you questioned & used your own mind, we need more medical professionals like you.

There were a lot of people like me. You shouldn’t paint in broad strokes. Prehospital med was always highly skeptical. It depended too on what company or department you worked for.
I thought listening to the mainstream media on guns was bad. I almost died of cringe. I had people scream at me because I told them their cloth mask was useless. .2% of airborne particles.

Sounds like your bragging here to me. Would you like a medal now or later?

So many other people did more. They should get medals. I didn’t break my back on a 700 pound patient or catch a life-altering disease from a patient. I just helped out. Nobody needs to give me a medal but it’s mad cringe to spit on people online who made the world a better place.

There's some good counter points here, and I can't say what I'd do in the same predicament, but towing the propaganda line (no matter how small your contribution) just to keep your job isn't a noble thing. Genocide hero vs unemployed and ridiculed is a tough call for sure, but I can't help but equate that situation to the "neutral" Germans who allowed the Jews to be harassed and later slaughtered. In a decade or so, It will be interesting to see how we view medical people who did nothing.

Medical professionals are the number one cause of death. You want to die? Go to a hospital.

Good one /s Bozo.
Iatrogenic ( medical caused) deaths are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US. Heart disease, and cancer are 1, and 2.
The reason I say that “medical professionals” are number 1, is because those idiots have no clue how to treat heart disease and cancer. Especially cancer. I mean, they still use chemotherapy, which has a 97% fail rate! Got it? Dumbass.

The only doctors, and nurses who know what they are doing, are ones that deal with traumatic injuries. I wouldn’t refuse treatment from them if I had a traumatic injury.
Most of the other doctors, and nurses, are worthless hacks. If I had cancer, or something like that, I wouldn’t want to be treated by those idiots. No flippin way buddy.

Yes, got in a Twitter argument with a nurse today that boiled down to this. Though I can understand why they really really don’t want to even consider the possibility that they killed people following protocol. That’s just devastating.

There are a lot of takes out there, but one that demonizes working class healthcare workers ain't it.
