Your Job Isn’t the Problem, You Are – 3742

We also see a lot more than combat troops. I’m an army reserve member (US) and have had 8 deployments since 2002. I’ve been a EMT/paramedic in my civilan job since 1997. I have seen more gun shot wounds in EMS than in the military, and a lot more dead people. Many of those I was actively trying to save. The movie “Code 3” is very close to some of what we do, and “Bring out your dead” (nick cage) shows a lot of the emotional side of the job. (Mothet, Jugs, and Speed is just funny)

EMS (some places are part of Fire) has the highest non-combat rates of PTSD. We see, hear, smell, touch, and are part of some of the worst moments in a persons life. There is no normal shift. Interrupted sleep (if you get any), no meal breaks, no stopping to rest. Worse is the swing in calls. First run, old man slid out of recliner lift assist, then short of air 21 yo anxiety attack, then 4 yo drowning, 57 yo injuried toe possible Gangrene, 19 yo fever, overdose 37yo at club, 49 yo homeless “cold injury”, and last on shift car crash three kids not in car seats adult not buckled minor damage but serious injuries. Go home and fall asleep for four hours then go back to work. We are hireing, paramedics start at $18.00 USD

My dad is 83. In the last three years he has started focusing on building up fiat so he can leave a lot to the grandkids and great grand kids. He got scammed on $2k and agreed to have myself and a sister to approve any plan over $100. I thing the old lady likely was thinking the same, “I need more so I can leave it to my family because they have not had the same good life I have.” The biggest issue is he does not think through like he use to. His thinking is like a teenager, only looking at now and believing only the best can result. I think that is part of the decline humans go through.

Stake n Shake jumped in stock price so much because it did a 20 to 1 reverse split (for every 20 shares you had, you got 1 new share) a lot like how nations with fiat hyper inflated money try to fix the problem, shift the Decimal point a few steps to the left in peoples bank accounts.

1.5x normally, but for this one bump it to 2.0x just for you.
