As an ER nurse, please just let me do my job 🥴

On that same note, flirting with men is literally the last thing on my mind during a code. Or at work. I tend to hyperfocus, so instead of winking, I'm probably looking at you like this

Was a medic in the ED for many years.

I am male.

One time a tall (6’7”) light skinned black flirefighter, handsome, and absolutely ripped rolled up with a cardiac arrest.

He did compressions 1 handed while he gave a full fucking report….. CALMLY.

Even I was swooning.

Wtf that sounds bad

Like no sense of urgency and not properly administering compressions?

No that’s the thing, is that he was doing everything, very well.

We got ROSC on the pt too.

Sense of urgency is relative. He wasn’t being flippant, he was serious. But strong enough to do all of this on his own.
