I'd be no good as an EMT. The first thing I'd do while approaching the scene of a crash is bring a bag of plasters and a can of Budweiser so the occupants could take the edge of things while they wait for someone useful.

Haha It's tempting sometimes - trust me!

I love the job though - even though we're not immune to getting spat at

Getting spat at? :eek: I'd give them the defib and tell them to give themselves a quick dart for the luls!

I used to work in retail selling all sorts of IT related products. One version of speech to text is Dragon software which actually works well for people with disabilities as most come with a bluetooth hands free kit. Sorry if it sounds like I'm advertising just pointing out that there is some good stuff out there. Even the best though can be slightly problemmatic.

I think I'll be investing for the typing of my thesis, but for transcription is wont really work. I work with older people with intellectual disabilities, and so speech difficulties is a big issue, making it pretty much impossible for me to use for transcription.

Plus I tend to be making notes for my coding of the results as I go, it helps to transcribe your own material for getting close to your data.

Jaysus!!! Spat at. I'm a polite patient. What kind of people have you been servicing

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 7:56pm

I'd leave the spitters to suffer for awhile.

Again she says that word , unfortunately though we cant chose our patients - the nurses have to deal with a lot worse

Aishae · 15-10-2011 8:29pm

Servicing sounded better than rescuing from a dirty minded perspective!

I know a and e nurses must get the worst but still... Being spat at? It's not like you accidentally spit on someone the same way you can accidentally get sick on them

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 8:34pm

Finished shift now . One nurse got urinated on - she said it wasnt an acciden either

Aishae · 15-10-2011 8:37pm

Eek! Better to be spat on for sure

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 8:43pm

Im home for the weekend - i will have to turn some nurses.though

I'd go one worse and leave them a suprise in their pillow. That would surely teach someone that bodily functions are best left to the loo.

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 8:45pm

You mean some fresh chocolate mousse ?

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 8:47pm

Yes similar in a way. If someone is intent on pulling such a nasty stunt, up the anti alittle and see how far they're willing to go before giving up :P

As a med professional we unfortunately have to exude maturity. - at all times

As a retailer, professional conduct was expected, but that doesn't mean I didn't get away with blue murder when customers became difficult

Blue murder - blue movies , you have a pattern

Are you another EMT?

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 9:26pm

Even though I quit drinking nearly 3 years ago, for some strange reason I have a craving for a Bud and tequila.

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 10:18pm

Damn I need a sex therapist - either that or the menopause is striking early

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 10:19pm

A therapist?

WonderWoman! · 15-10-2011 10:21pm

I am actually dying of "drought" - my temperature keeps going high n' low

L.Jenkins · 15-10-2011 10:26pm

Sex drought? That's what happens when you leave a relationship.
