A medic I know likes to say we don't get paid for what we do every day, we get paid for what we might have to do.
This is the second day in a row, I haven't done squat. I had a lady with a nose bleed this morning and an MVA refusal this afternoon. Other than that, I've just been sitting around.That's probably what the two EMTs in Long Island were doing the other day when they got a call for a chest pain.
