Do you believe in the idea that people can be sh*t magnets?
 
yes but not me.
 
I'll say I do, I've been nothing but a sh*t magnet since getting my license. It does make good material when asked the standard "tell me about a time you were in a stressful situation" interview question.
 
Yes, I am a "black cloud"........its quite enjoyable sometimes, other times it just sucks!
 
I'm more of a crazy magnet. I know what you mean though.
 
Not me. People sure are, but I am the fluffiest of fluffy white clouds.

I've started wondering whether it's just that I don't blow everything up to a big deal and just go about my business. Some people tend to scream on the radio, call the helicopter, freak out, and they tend to be known as the magnets.
 
I don't mind getting the bad or bizarre calls. For some reason or another I usually pull all of the emergency transfers as well.
 
Some magnets are alarmists who diagnose everything as a disaster.

They need to go work at FEMA.

If a white cloud means you get all the good and easy stuff, and the black cloud means that all your luck is bad, then what do the explosive guys mean by a pink cloud?

Considering one of my former partners nicknamed me "Swirling vortex of doom", I would say I am a :censored::censored::censored::censored: magnet.

Can I ride with you? I have 85+ hours of ride along time now and still chasing my elusive 5th PT contact....But that's a whole other thread topic.:angry:
 
I have been a poop magnet these last few weeks, everyone has been trying to die in our ambulance...it's starting to get annoying.
 
I had a brand new emt student riding with me who actually quit school and left after about four hours, he looked at me and my partner and said, " I had no idea that this job was that hard, I thought I would sit around and watch tv all day" my partner said " not with her " I asked the student if he wanted me to sign his paperwork he said " no, after the first d ead guy, I stopped writing, I just was waiting to get to my car to leave I'm done with this" lol so if u need skills done my unit is the olace
 
My experience was the longer I stayed in the game it was easier to see I'd get "runs". Not THE runs but runs of Psych calls, runs of MVAs, runs of cardiacs and my personal nightmare, I once had a two year run of strokes where nose bleeds would turn into one, and anything else you can figure we'd get called to would end up being called in as a stroke!

You don't get many of those anymore, do you?
 
Or my personal favorite, the non injury fall that gets changed to a full arrest while en route.
 
I really like the calls that come in as no info, just a lot of screaming and u get on scene and they have a paper cut or roach in their ear.

We end up staging for those calls to until pd gets on scene. Then people wonder why there's 2 cop cars a fire engine and an ambulance in front of their house.
