As a paramedic let me just say I make $15.30/hr to ride around in a $180,000 ambulance that contains a $7000 CPR device, a $30,000 cardiac monitor, and thousands of dollars more in drugs and equipment. All the while getting insurance and Medicare reimbursements for services rendered that are usually in the ballpark of 51¢ on the billed dollar. The service employing me operates 4 911 ambulances on a $1.8M budget and last year I think we only pulled in $1.3-1.4M from Billings. Overall the healthcare system is fucked and everyone knows if from top to bottom.
Yeah the healthcare system is totally fucked remind me why I chose this field of work again?
“do you know what love is it is absolute acceptance loving every single flaw because it whats makes them who they are now tell me do you truly love them”
Hi brain, you obstinate fucker. I drank the clear splashy stuff. I ate the green things. I went under that bright fucker up there. I did the thing with the moving and sweating and whatnot. Now make the happy chemical, you lump of fuck.
you’ve gotta stat romanticizing your life. you gotta start believing that your morning commute is cute and fun, that every cup of coffee is the best you’ve ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are exciting and new. you have to, because that’s when you start truly living. that’s when you look forward to every day.
