minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈linkfedilink18•1 year agoI did 24hr shifts a minimum of two days per week. Most times I did three days per week with 24hrs of OT. I did that from 2000-2017. Now I do simple 4 x 10hr days.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•1 year agoWhy would you ever do that? And allow it to happen for 17 years???
minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈linkfedilink4•1 year agoGood question. I did enjoy my work 90% of the time. I gave up emergency work when I turned 50. Now I do “uber” ambulance.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 year agoWtf is uber ambulance? And thanks for your service.
minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈linkfedilink2•1 year agoHa! “Uber” ambulance is non-emergency transport. We take patients that are at rehabilitation facilities and bring them to medical appointments.

minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈linkfedilink4•1 year agoParamedic, U S. Most EMS and fire departments run 24hr shifts. It’s a choice.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•1 year agoWere you the one driving? This sounds so dangerous! My heart goes out to you
minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈linkfedilink3•1 year agoWe would take turns. We had an office where we could sleep until the emergency call comes in. Not quality sleep, but, kept you functional. Was only rare occasion you might be busy for a full 24hrs.
