Day 16
Today doing runs one of my partners who I will call E that has been very open about being ultra gay came out and asked me if I am a lesbian I had simply been telling him I am queer before.
I looked at him today and said "well I'm wearing my girlfriends bra🤪" ( laundry day).
Well when he had been a cool little gayboi the last day we worked together he was all up my butt today.
At one point when he was trying to show me how to single load a stretcher he was struggling and I was like oh watch the proper technique and I did it easily.
His partner B laughed and was like you aint got shit on her and E was so miffed it was almost funny watching his cheeks match his frosted tips.
I wasn't trying to show him up I been an EMT for 3 years I am just new to this company. I worked for another private company, I have run 911 volunteering, and I been a member of search n rescue for 3 years.
E he has been a driver for a few months and literally just passed his emt cert last week n really was struggling with medical conditions today.
Infact tonight the manager even told him infront if me end of shit he ain't ready he needs more training.
I wasn't gonna tell E him but one of the reasons I was assigned to be trained by B and E is they told me that they know E still needs training before they let him run calls and they want him with experienced people.
Meanwhile he bitched about insanity like the fact when I made a stretcher it had more wrinkles in it then when he makes it.
This is emergency medicine dude no one cares if the stretcher sheets have no wrinkles my god can he be any more fuckin gay!
I think the sorta tomboy fuck shit up vibes I put out sorta rub him the wrong way because he kept saying things like talk quiter around medical desks, and when your calling dispatch speak more pleasant they get enough rough necks being rude.
How in the heck did this guy ever find emergency medicine?
He has only been doing it for a few months n it shows because anyone whos lasted knows you gotta have a thick skin a demented sense of humor -- uptight prissy people can't last.
I still like the guy anyone who can put up with dating men have more patience then I ever will have.
I know he means well but the fact he not only refused to listen to my experience but only admonished me for being too rough around the edges was annoying. My girlfriend called me an Orch which is both true and untrue.
I have 3 degrees a 3.9 GPA Two medical licenses so I am fairly well educated and can put on the erudite cap with ivory tower elites.
Yet I can also hang with a firehouse talk shit with the dudes and then go out on an 911 call bash a window in on a burning car and pull a woman bleeding simi conscious out and stabilize her.
While in the ER I've had to help take down someone assaulting a nurse so he can be sedated when it explodes in emergency things go from 0-100 real fast.
I am sure E would like university ICE better but I can't show my nerdy side as an EMT.
I'd get picked on for damn sure already being a female I gotta be extra tough If I acted like E no one would wanna work with me because they wouldn't trust I have what it takes.
Gay men have the privilege to be softer in EMS because they aren't assumed to be weak, the odd ones out, untrustworthy in an emergency, and second guessed when making life or death calls.
