      Currently working on one. Shifts nearly over. Am a CritCare certified provider.

      Didn’t see a single remotely sick patient today even though we ran calls back to back for most of the day.

        I’ve been one of those calls. Woke up with chest pain and pain in my left upper arm. Called 911.

        Diagnosis was heartburn+slept wrong.

            Yeah that’s reasonable. A reasonable person could see how that could look like something life threatening until examined by a health care provider.

            Knee pain you’ve had for a month? Had a panic attack yesterday? Pain because you just had surgery and don’t want to take your pain medications? This is more what I’m talking about
