I warked with a WHORE last night

OK, so my partner up and qiuts on me (pays more to work in the
mines...go figure) and I get mystery meat for the next few weeks.
Seems they lost 7 EMTS in the last 2 weeks. I get stuck with a " six
month wonder" who proceeds to tell me all about her torrid affairs
with another medic on another service (oh yeah, her length of
employment with us has been 2 days). Bear in mind I'm wearing a
wedding ring and have chatted with the wife on the cell, but she
persists in letting me ask these questions about being a whore. Lucky
for me, no ugly calls. Did a discharge that took us an hour to get to,
an hour to finish and an hour to get back. That means 2 out of three
of those hours I was stuck in the truck with her. I know, I should
have talked about something else....splinting for instance...but every
time I tried I just sounded like some dumb instructor I had in the
past and the conversation always went back to " so, when your husband
found out....:.
I really don't need this...who does anyway...but I take a state test
for critical care in 3 days and it will be a XXXXX. Every doc around
here says so.
Moral of the story...why do I get stuck with mystery meat? I didn't
even get any sex for my trouble.

Years ago when I was in the street, I came to work at a remote station
and walked in on a paramedic and volunteer EMT in flagrante delicto.
And, then, there was another paramedic whose nickname was 'Margie
Mattressback.' And, then there was the time when... .

This stuff has been going on for time immemorial. Put two adults
together and you never know what would happen. Personally, I would
prefer working with someone who talked about that than, let's say,
working with a racist in an urban area where minority is a majority
and every comment out of the guy's mouth is derogatory.

That's what usually happened to me when my regular partners were
reassigned, took another job or got sick. There have been times where
I 'threw my back out' going over a bump in the street and had to go
home during the shift because of some supreme assholes. One sat in the
truck while I worked the patient with the cops, another would throw
bananas out the window at people. I could write a book. Hmmm... yeah,
I suppose I would have preferred the Penthouse forum to "look at that
&#$@^$ (derogatory pejorative about someone they never met or spoke
to)." And, of course, I'm easily amused.

Now, it also seems to me that you are a little bit jealous that she
didn't honk on Bobo... .

Funny about that, Steve. You should hear what those folk said
about you when I got called in from home [a] to fill in
the rest of your shift.

[a] one of the problems with living pretty close
to the base stations...

It didn't happen in NYC.

There were three people I was "afraid" of there --

The first was my very first partner from Cumberland. Sat in the bus
and sent me up alone to "get" the patient. He got fired for banging in
and going to work in a car service while he was supposed to be sick.

The second was someone I worked with for one tour - "Hey, I'm gonna go
in there for a while. Blow the siren if we get a call." to which he
disappeared into the projects. Got a call, blew the siren for about 45
minutes before he surfaced. Never saw him again.

The third was someone you do know who was legendary for surviving the
gunfight at the OK Corral.

Then there were the people I didn't find out about until later -

Like the one who drove under the Manhattan Bridge and (I didn't know
this until later) unplugged the speaker cable from the radio control
head. It was funny how we didn't get one single call all night and
could actually get a good night's sleep (back before anyone had to
worry about fire commissioners bashing in ambulance windows with
baseball bats)... in fact, I couldn't even recall hearing Brooklyn
North on the radio. He got fired for walking into one of the
precincts, signing out a portable and taking it home to Long Island
with him. Went on to drive a school bus and become an AEMT on his
volley squad.
