@canman - I have a good friend who retired from the fire service a few years back.
works 1/2 time in our ER as a Medic/Tech.
Mostly to keep outta trouble.
as he says “just 3 12 hr days every 2 weeks???”
Enjoys doing his thing and helping folks without the pressure of 0230 calls, fires, extrication, and always having back up around.
His statements about it echo yours exactly.
When I was a charge in the ED, seeing 130 pts in 12 hrs through the door, was great to have his 35-40 yrs of experience to keep the youngsters calm.
28 yr old nurse freaking out about charting.
Tom says “scribble notes, chart later, we got shit to do”.
