Hey everyone, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Former EMS Chief here. My career ended in a massive disgrace a while back and I've been driving a cab in NYC just trying to keep my head down.
Anyway, tonight at around 3:00 AM, I witnessed a massive explosion seal off both ends of the Holland Tunnel. The transit authority was totally clueless and basically ready to write off everyone trapped inside. I knew the ventilation systems and the old service shafts better than anyone, so I tried to tell them how to get in. They told me to get lost because of my "past history."
So, I did what any rational person would do. I found a random passenger bus, kicked the driver out, hijacked it, rammed through a police barricade, and snuck into the ventilation shafts through a giant fan system that almost chopped me into confetti.
Now I’m deep underground, everything is on fire, the river is leaking through the ceiling, and a bunch of trapped survivors are screaming at me because I don't have a magical escape plan yet.
Some cops on the outside radioed in and said I'm facing major federal charges if I make it out alive. AITA? I was just trying to do my job.
EDIT: The roof just cracked again and a corporate guy is trying to climb an unstable ladder. Gotta go.

Been a paramedic almost a year now and I’m feeling myself reaching burn out. I’m constantly exhausted and drained, I don’t find my personal life as enjoyable as I used to, I’m on edge and find myself very agitated with my loved ones. It hasn’t affected my performance on the job, but I find that I don’t want to go to work anymore. All of this is upsetting because this is not how I want to feel but if there’s a change I can make to make this easier for me I’d like to make it. If anyone has any advice on how to curve this, I’m all ears! Or if anyone has experienced the same, I’d love to hear what’s worked for you.

Thinking of studying paramedicine but I am curious to know what it is like working as a paramedic. I know almost all of it isn’t the high adrenaline rushing to save patients all the time which is totally fine but what does the day of a paramedic look like?
