@megpillow My mom always told me not to pull over for the police in a dark, lonely location because she had a scary encounter in college. She was pulled over, guy walks up to the passenger side not in a uniform, tried to open the door, & backed off when he saw she wasn’t alone.

Omg there’s a chiropractor in my PA school class. Said they’re “a doctor already” & I’m wondering why they’re in PA school if that’s the case.

@MelissaMyersMD I ran into someone I knew in the waiting room while working as EMT. She asked if I could go check on her husband who had been brought in by ambulance after cutting his arm at an event. Poor man was completely naked. Why did they cut his pants off for an arm injury?!?

@DrMarinaHarris I was inpatient & the psychiatrist recommended ECT, stop taking my SSRI, & he would prescribe diet pills so I could lose weight, get married, & have babies so I could “be happy.”

@DianaG2772 I once saw my friend’s 2 dogs walking down the road. I turned around, got the dogs into my car, & drove to my friend’s house. Then her 2 dogs looked out the window when I pulled in the driveway. Turned out I dognapped a neighbor’s dogs from their own front yard.

@kathryniveyy As an EMT, I’ve been punched in the face, called by first & last name & told I’d be “easy to kill,” had a patient masturbate in the ambulance with me, groped on multiple occasions, lots of comments on my body, screamed at, cursed at, etc. I always document, but nothing happens.
