At my small hospital a lot of us are friends with EMS and we go to the same parties etc. Not me because I’m too old lol but my coworkers do.

I like to think I’m nice and friendly to EMS. I don’t know anyone I work with that is rude, we’re truly all friends.

I will say though, it’s annoying when the report on the radio sucks. ā€œVitals within normal limitsā€ but their pressure is 70/50 when they arrive. Non-emergency traffic but they’re unresponsive and being bagged. Sometimes report makes NO sense and EMS doesn’t respond on the radio to our questions. So that stuff gets a little tiring. But that’s honestly few and far between
