But you did have enough empathy to rescue people , right ?
Voluntary fire department, voluntary EMT (trained for psychological first response) on a catastrophic call. I can fake empathy good enough that people think i am a very empathic and charming person ;)
Edit: and you might have guessed it, i am officially diagnosed with ICD-10 F60.2. I considered being in those services fun (i am disabled now and no longer able to safely serve as a fireman or emt).
Oh that's cool, I didn't know we had voluntary EMT. (You're in Germany judging by your user name?)
How does that work anyway, if you also have a full time job alongside?
Hah, I once talked to someone who was as well, and was also an EMT. I guess it makes sense :^)
Ehrenamtlicher Rettungssanitäter. Yes, it exists. I did the courses mainly to drive as first responder, tbh.
And it went quite well with fulltime job. Driving on the weekends. On Duty for first responder was overnight, so most times i went from work to the station, took over the fr car and left my vehicle there and changed back in the morning. Sometimes with way too less sleep, though.
Right?
