I've thought about doing similar, especially when getting toned out on those 3am non-emergent psych runs; I think anyone who has been doing this for any significant amount of time can say they've considered trying to find ways to get out of a job.
Would I act on those thoughts? Probably not. Never have. But I think this is just a symptom of the bigger issue: Burnout. |

"She resigned before the investigation was completed."
Yeah. Something tells me that it probably wasn't her choice. I agree with adamjh. It's similar to dreaming of, say, punching your boss in the face. Fun to think about, but few would do it. Those that do deserve punishment.

After learning what a couple of runs are; I have told my partner/driving to drive into a brick wall. So far they haven't done that

I agree with adam w probably have all thought of doing something like emptying out my main O2 tank to get sent back to the station instead of a late call. Haven't done it, but definitely thought about it.
