When I was going for my Intermediate EMT certification, I was assigned to this one paramedic working the inner city squad. He had been on the streets way too long and was burned out. He treated me (and everyone else) like crap, but honestly I learned more about the street from him than anyone else.

But I remember the first time we rode together. He told me that EMS was working contrary to nature. In order for our species to survive, the stupid ones need to die and in EMS most of the time we are saving stupid people.



Hmm not exactly what they taught me in the class room.

But damn, he was a good paramedic.
