Emergency Medical Service/Ambulances are a ridiculously low qualified in a fair shair of industrial nations, especially the US,France, or Austria.

Even in the countries with more training/physician based services (Germany, Belgium, Italy)the actual qualification of the responders varies widely - most of them wouldn’t be allowed to care for a single emergency within a hospital on their own.

Funny enough you are legally not allowed to call that a Döner in the EU. (Döner by law must not use ground beef. If they do you can call them Kebab,but not Döner)

How did you get a 2.50CHF lunch? Migro prepacked sandwich?

I always struggle to find cheap lunch options.

Well, we could assign the reviewers more “significance” here. We could give them points and if they “upvote” a paper it gives the paper a bit more visibility/reputation. If the reviewer has actually reviewed the paper it gives the paper more points.

How much a reviewer is able to “spend” could be based on the reputation of the institution, their own papers in the same field and the points they get for their reviews by other users.

Just a raw idea,but it seems possible, indeed.

Yeah, it’s interesting base for some applications. We will see how good the compatibility is in the end.

Yeah,US training is a joke,tbh. Some of the best Emergency medical services are in the US. But most services are sadly an utter joke and the basic qualification necessary to respond to emergency calls wouldn’t be sufficient to drive people between nursing homes in most other countries.

In comparison:

• Australia: B.sc (3.5 years)
• UK: EMT(12-18 Month),mostly Paramedic (B.sc),though
• Germany: Paramedic (3 year apprenticeship) (supported by Physicans)
• Switzerland: Paramedic (3 years) (supported by Physicans)

EMS structure is highly heterogeneous. Where are you from?

Same with healthcare. I am a paramedic by trade, was the youngest in my class, youngest commander, went to work around the world, from the European Alps to the African jungle to Australian outback.

It was quite a journey.

But sadly I had to recognise that I am not cut out of the wood that is required to survive in today’s healthcare systems in industrial nations. It made me profoundly hate humans and even more sick humans. I dread every single day I still have to work with patients. Especially awake patients. I can’t handle them anymore. Don’t get me wrong. I am still giving 100%, sometimes more - and I don’t judge,like some other colleagues do over the years. I don’t care if you are a frequent flyer, a drunk or a murderer - I will give everything and be very nice to you. But inside me? I burn out.

It’s not that I can’t work with the misery,with things I’ve seen. It’s just that I can’t work with people and the system they are part of anymore.I am now lucky enough to mostly be “off the road” in a cushy,self employed, desk job. But still, I can’t fully leave healthcare,as I invested to much. And so I will torture myself again.

In less than 5 hours my alarm clock is going off for another shift. And I am dreading the moment it will.

Fuck.

Which country are you from?

EMS/Ambulance workers

Funnily enough: I am a paramedic with special training in phlebotomy, worked in anaesthesia and did roughly 10.000 blood draws and iV lines in my life.

I am still having a hard time if someone else draws blood from me - I got accustomed to it due to chronic diseases that required a lot of blood being drawn. But: I can without any problem draw my own blood. It’s a bit complicated with only one arm,but I can do that.

(And if you want to put a needle anywhere else beside a vein and a intramuscular vaccination and I need full sedation)

Prosopagnosia is the name of the cognitive disorder you likely have.

That’s actually a cognitive disorder called Prosopagnosia.

And welcome to the club - I had a stroke and while luckily all major deficits returned to normal with timely treatment, I developed prosopagnosia.

It’s fairly freaky at times. While it’s not my main job anymore I still work as a paramedic occasionally - and when I get a massive trauma at three o’clock in the morning I can hand it over in the ED to the full resus team with every detail without looking into my notes once. But if they ask me for a name I need an ID card or my notes.

Not Radius,Samba. But yes. In theory the Samba server can even run on a VM on the same PC(but that makes it really messy). Raspi or similar is far easier.

Univention offers a ready made distro for that,but not for ARM, though.

Maybe more insane would actually cancel out the insanity already existing?

Or do I now sound insane?

Anyway, came for Temple OS as well.

If you have a proper shoemaker around you: They usually can fix this problem easily.

The problem is to find an proper shoemaker these days.

Not a nurse but a paramedic. Does getting a gun pulled on me by a crackhead count?

Or a guy furiously masturbating in the back of my ambulance?

I’ve seen the aftermath of various larger ones,but that is kind of my job,so it doesn’t count.

And I got married on the day on the day my wife’s hometown was hit by the Central European summer floods. We didn’t notice much, though,thanks to fabulous staff at the venue.

I experienced a few local ones, though - an avalanche, a thunderstorm in the alps that had torrential gusts of 180km/h and killed a few people (and we were in a very exposed spot-that was fucking scary) - one person died a mere 800m away from us (but we didn’t know and would not have any means to get there in time anyway, as it was 600m vertical rock between us and he died on the spot).

From my understanding your colleague committed a crime under the Indecent Displays (Control) Act 1981 and you can refer the matter to the police - which I would strongly recommend as this is beyond an employee-employer relationship.

And it brings the employer into a position that the company is forced to make sure that the offender cannot reoffend against anyone (not just you). While the first offense is nothing the company can really be held liable for, anything after they have (officially) made aware they can be held liable for.

Read somewhere in an book that sometimes soldiers/aides tried to hurt/kill their officers my minimally reducing their barrel width mechanically when cleaning their pistols for them. Hard to detect and can fuck someone up good.

But while I can see how that would work in theory I don’t see how this could be done without someone noticing it and with the tools at their disposal.
