I Do Have A Mouth And I Must Scream But It’d Be Kind of Weird Since I Am In A Public Place And I’d Get A Lot Of Weird Looks So It’s Kind Of Like Not Having A Mouth

One of my old partners got pulled in for an investigation today. The photo is not of him – it’s of a paramedic in California trying to eat something for the first time in nearly ten hours.

My old partner was told that a member of the public took photos of him and his current partner. My buddy was sleeping, and his partner was eating. This member of the public sent the photos with an email that both complained about how “unprofessional” it appeared – and a threat to send the photos to the media.

Thanks to Prop 11 in California, first responders no longer have a right to breaks. AMR lied to the public in a huge way. California was the only state where emergency crews had been granted a legal right to breaks to use the latrine and have a meal. Shifts run a minimum of 12 hours, often 24, and AMR runs their crews into the ground.

My buddy and his partner are in trouble because they were trying to get rest and food while posted on a street corner because we don’t get breaks. This is what AMR tells us to do. Please don’t see something like this and assume that we’re being lazy or not doing our jobs. Don’t take photos or send them to the press. That crew is probably exhausted and overworked.

Medics and EMTs are HUMAN,

It may be surprising, but we *gasp* actually need food. And sleep! And sometimes, there’s no time to go back to the station between calls to do these things. I don’t understand why people tend to think it’s unprofessional for police/fire/EMS/anyone working 12+ hour shifts to be seen eating while on duty. People who work 8 hours get lunch breaks, we don’t have those, you have to find time to eat/sleep/use the bathroom.

They think they’re robots. Even robots need to recharge buddy.
