Real things I’ve seen as a Paramedic. Pre-workout & energy drinks don’t mix well. #ems #drink #weld

[devonskinner]

If my paramedic ever just says "hm" like a mechanic looking under the hood of a car that will never be driven again, I'll just start crying lol

[alysandraborden]

His heart isn’t beating. It’s vibrating

[Go_Fly_Alex]

*Mans heart explodes out of his chest.*
Boss - “you’re still coming in tomorrow right?”

[Anxess]

A boss asking if his employee can still go back to work when he is almost having a heart attack is the most accurate boss shit ever

[ritebcreative]

"my back hurts"
"Yeah that's your kidneys shutting down sir"

[oscarpine]

The moment he said energy drink I thought that "back" pain was his kidneys crying for help

[StarKnight]

every Contractor boss and retail manager on the planet

"He's dying? Well....will he be able to come in tomorrow?"

[slatesin]

I remember getting a tilt table test, and my heart rate skyrocketed so fast it set off the emergency alarm. I'll never forget the tech's face when she looked up at it and went "....hm!"

[foggyj]

This is the type of guy to fire you after requesting off because you made a doctors appointment

[albratgaming]

"Is he going to be able to go back to work ?"
"No, he needs to rest for 4 weeks after that slurry energy drink and if you give him another one of those.. You will be arrested for murder."

[beowulfsrevenge]

"If he goes to the hospital, can he come back tomorrow for work? I really need him."

[BigKahuna]

I experienced a vtach once. 250+ bpm for 3-5 min before a doctor punched me in the chest. It felt like my whole body was vibrating. Fun times and luckily no lasting issues.

[chrishamilton]

"Well this is simple. Your back is hurting cause your heart is trying to exit your body via your spine."

[Locahaskatexu]

As a paramedic buddy of mine once said "Your heart rate shouldn't be measured in Hertz..."

[TalabAlSahra]

My hip!
My back!
My hearts in V-Tach!

[MilitaristTurkcu]

Imagine you drink a preworkout mix slushie and your heart decides to be a speaker playing an extremely bass boosted song

[randomcrapimake]

I was told this by my cardiologist and I’ve remembered it ever since
“The heart is a muscle, you should work to help it get stronger. But you shouldn’t work it till failure.”

[omigodausername]

When your boss is trying to literally kill you.

He drank 5 5 hour energies and unlocked the infamous forbidden hour of the day.
