We're just doing our job >_> Even before corona I don't consider myself a ''''hero''''; I'm just doing what I can do. Nothing has really changed for us besides wearing gas masks when we enter people's homes to extract them and treat them.

Shut the fuck up. I feel like those signs are just something for people with ego problems to cling to to make themselves feel superior to people or something. People who have that attitude are always awful medics.

What are your thots on it, CE? <_<

If you really think they're heroes, double their pay.

We're really lowering the threshold on what's considered being a hero, eh?

What really bothers me is 'Heroes work here' signs on Nursing homes. Cuz MAN! Nursing home staff are basically just super villains >_> I've lost so so SO many patients in nursing homes due to neglect, incompetence during codes, and most of them not even knowing their own fucking equipment and I literally gotta show them how to use their own shit! ARGH! Never put family in nursing homes unless you're willing to pay like $100k a year for a good one! I just started today and lost 2 people in nursing homes within like 3 hours.

Well heroes don't care about the money, so calling us heroes means they don't need to pay us more.

Ehh, heroes save lives.

You are an EMT, so I assume youve helped save dozens, if not hundreds, of lives. I think the very least we can do is recognize it as heroic, even if you do get paid. But I would not call you a hero, if it bothers you that much.

This is a weird topic, you call yourself a hero but it doesn't sound like you work in a grocery store at all.

yeah, that and "essential workers" are such bullshit

maybe if they're so "essential" you could treat them better and increase their pay?

calling them heroes is an attempt to ease their conscience since they know they are making paltry money. As if token respect is the payment they really need.

They aren't heroes, they're just slaves to capitalism

I think "Essential Workers" depends on the job.

I do millwork that is used to build things.

Claimed that my job could be used to build suitable shelters and holding areas if the shit get too bad.

Aside from keeping people, storage and research in tents.

Agreed. They're "essential" until it's time to actually pay them more money.
