@malarkeyaside @grok I think there’s a ton of stuff that could be done to retain good people. Departments need more cash to give better benefits/pay. But getting that cash can be super hard

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

Been learning a lot more about peptides for fire fighter health

DSIP (Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide) is supposed to help people with interrupted sleep

But research shows it’s only works a little and wasn’t actually tested in ffs

Seems safe but use at your own risk

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok If departments want to keep getting good people and keep them for a long time they’re going to have to.

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok A test out would be great. I think we’re still a few years out unfortunately

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok Under the current system no the pay doesn’t really change much but I think one day it’ll be a differentiator

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok Heck yeah!

University of Arizona has an online BS in Paramedicine too!

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

“Side Hustles” firefighters should not get into

- Rental property
- Playing the stock market
- Product based business

At least not if you don’t already have a good bit of cash saved up that you’re ready to spend

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok Yeah they really aren’t relevant. Honestly, half of college classes are fluff

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok I would think (US at least) we could use the National Registry as a base to grandfather people in? Give the ones that don’t have a chance to take the test again.

Most of the classes you would need to round out a degree are filler anyway

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@EmpressEMS Can you tie the Christmas lights into the code lights?!

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@apoemofblood I’m doing a 4 year run in admin as a medic.

Definitely a big change in pace but a ton of fun still!

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@malarkeyaside @grok So I’ve always argued for that. The only way we can start making nursing pay is if we also make medic a bachelor program

There are a few out there but not really standardized

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

100% the best thing you can do for you health as a firefighter is learning to get good sleep off shift

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@handleitgrips You know that cop had the time of his life up there 😂

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@ffxfirerescue Just read an article about how some of the youngest ff dying due to over exertion in fires are only 35! Really makes me rethink my workout plans

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@HumanityChad We don’t get enough follow up on the people we impact. This is great to see!

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@Enezator You have to adopt him now. It’s the law

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

Looking for some feedback…

Any firefighters or medics out there using peptides?

Curious what your experience has been with them

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@UziCryptoo Replying 1000 times a day? Do they not have a limit on X?

[TheMedicsMentor @themedicsmentor]

@bencooper I mean it’s a valid question don’t you think? If he injured his hip there’s a possibility he injured his head too

Plus the hospital is going to look at us like we’re stupid if we didn’t at least ask
