Levels of care
(or "What the initial after the 'EMT' stands for"):
EMT-A: Ambulance--The person who most resembles an ambulance. Either they look like one, or they sound like one.
EMT-B: Basic--They cannot do anything but the most minor skills. They are not supposed to think, just do.
EMT-C: Complicated--They can do everything, have done everything, and can handle even the most difficult situation.
EMT-D: Deaf--This person can only hear the tones/pager/partner when he/she wants to. This does not include during any meal or when their "favorite show" is on TV.
EMT-E: Egocentric--They are the only reason why the ambulance can get out the door. Without them, the place would fall apart.
EMT-F: Forgetful--They have to keep running back and forth to the ambulance for supplies/radio/whatever because they can't remember to bring everything at once.
EMT-G: "Gung-ho"--Runs to the ambulance with every call, is out the door carrying everything in sight before you put the unit in Park, and has the patient treated before you get your gloves on.
EMT-H: Hurler--Everytime they see blood, vomit, or feces, they hurl.
EMT-I: Idiot--This person never attends drills, never puts on gloves or other PPE, forgets about scene safety, and wouldn't know HazMat from butter.
EMT-J: Joker--Never lets 10 seconds go by without some smart-ass comment about something, be it your hair, the patient, the dinner, or whatever.
EMT-K: Killer--Can't touch a patient without the patient going downhill quickly. Also known as "Kevorkian."
EMT-L: Laid back--Walks everywhere, even in danger, doesn't let anything bother him/her, accepts whatever management puts onto them, including "mandatory overtime," and makes Valium addicts look wired.
EMT-N: Numbnuts--The guy (for obvious reasons male) who is in the bucket seat of the car with a gear shift in the middle and doesn't realize it until too late.
EMT-O: "Oh my God"--No matter what happens, good or bad, always tries to see the worst thing that could happen. A cut finger is always a "partial amputation," or musculoskeletal chest pain is "the big one."
EMT-P: Paragod (or Paragoddess)--Walks on water, gives orders to God, is the only person in existence who knows (or could know) as much as they do.
EMT-Q: Quiet--The one who sits in the back of the unit, never saying a word, while the IV runs dry or the patient codes. They are always "afraid to bother you."
EMT-R: Return--Leaves the company for a "better position," then comes back, then leaves for "more pay," then comes back. You want to get rid of them permanently, but they keep coming back.
EMT-S: Shocker--The one who forgets to say "Clear" before defibrillating the patient.
EMT-T: Tipsy--Can't remember when his shift starts and happy hour ends.
EMT-U: Unconscious--The person who you try and try to wake up for the 0300 "sick person," but just can't arouse. So you drag them to the ambo, and they wake up when you turn on the siren.
EMT-V: Vain--Can't pass a mirror without checking to see if they look as good in their uniform as they think they do. Always has a lint brush with them.
EMT-W: Whacker--Has a "police package" car, with 25 or more antennas, wears "EMT" t-shirts, pants, socks, and underwear, is never seen without a radio or two and 3 pagers, and will respond to every call in his/her personal vehicle "Code 3."
EMT-X: X-ray--Can "tell" that the cold is really pneumonia, can "tell" that the sprain is a break, and can see right through any skin/clothing/house/car to tell "exactly" what is wrong with the patient. Then "tells" the ER staff what he found (usually wrong).
EMT-Y:Yahoo--Wears the hat on backwards for everything, has his gun rack in the ambo, and hasn't showered in a week, unless it's raining.
EMT-Z: Zebra--Wears white socks with his dark pants and white shirt. ______________________________________________________
