minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI did 24hr shifts a minimum of two days per week. Most times I did three days per week with 24hrs of OT. I did that from 2000-2017. Now I do simple 4 x 10hr days.

minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoParamedic, U S. Most EMS and fire departments run 24hr shifts. It’s a choice.
minus-square_wampa__stompa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoWhy would you ever do that? And allow it to happen for 17 years???
minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoGood question. I did enjoy my work 90% of the time. I gave up emergency work when I turned 50. Now I do “uber” ambulance.
minus-squaregorillakitty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoWtf is uber ambulance? And thanks for your service.
minus-square😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHa! “Uber” ambulance is non-emergency transport. We take patients that are at rehabilitation facilities and bring them to medical appointments.
