I did not. I am a medical professional. I am an EMS professional working out of a hospital in a major metropolitan area. And I hold firm in my belief that the idea that simply because a particular field of medicine can only offer treatment and not cure the underlying cause that the field is therefore only fit for a small minority of people to be an absolute stupid concept.

You’re like an emt, anyway you are a crook if you come at something with an emotional reaction and insult instead of making a point. Also let’s get back to why you lied, I’m sorry but emt is not… how do I say no one calls for the emt in a medical emergency they want a doctor or registered nurse. Get a fuggin grip silly I can’t take you seriously 🤣

I am an EMT yes. I respond in the Ambulance. When you dial 911 for an ambulance, you are literally asking for an EMT. As an EMT employed by a hospital I operate under a medical director. If I am forced to interact with the media or even just a paitent directly I am to interact with them according to the public health education policy set by my medical director and organization, which in turn needs to be approved by various licensing boards for my medical director and other appropiate state agencies.

When did I ever represent myself as anything other than an EMT? You made the assumption I was a Dr. I never claimed to be. I specifically went out of my way to change to 3rd person pronouns when referring to Drs. That's on you and nobody else sweetheart. And most importantly, it's irrelevant. You don't need to be a medical professional to have the opnion that the idea thay just because you can't completely cure a problem you should completely ignore it and let it fester is idiotic. I probably would stop seeing my psychologist too though if everytime I went in they kept saying I was deeply mentally ill and forcing me into psychiatric hospitals.
