Blog about anything you want. Most of us do understand that a ridiculous number of 911 calls turn out to be false alarms or calls for depressingly useless reasons. Posting about the life-saving calls you do is completely fine. As you said yourself, you live for the moments when you can save others' lives. Don't let people who are calling what you do unrealistic get to you--clearly those calls don't happen every single time by a long shot.

We're grateful that you're sharing any stories with us, really. Keep on truckin'.

From the perspective of the EMT, what do you think of people calling you in for symptoms that turned out to be "not too big a deal", but from the perspective of the caller, could have potentially been bad, and they were afraid of taking the patient to ER themselves?

Whenever I respond to a call I treat it as this: "I am walking into somebodies worst nightmare."

That's literally the only way I think people could stay sane in this job.

The healthy people with indigestion symptoms, the people with bad colds, the people with the regular flu... all of them might tolerate their regular sickness differently. Who am I to judge them based on their level of concern?

I always tell my patients that it is better safe than sorry, and that not even a doctor can tell you that you're "okay" without extensive tests.

I love your blogs, including this one. Some people may need this explanation I'd like to imagine most people on this forum do not.

Just write what you want, its your blog. If you want to blog about the ones that are the best material do it. If you want to write about the average call, do that. I enjoy these blogs, and so do a lot of other people. As long as you keep writing them I will keep reading them.

Well, whatever you choose to publish out to us, I look forward to it. As far as life being 99% mundane and 1% extraordinary, that's sorta what life is. I can spend months designing and crunching numbers, but only one day of those months will I say, "I have fully constructed my Gauss rail gun," the laboring tasks are necessary and important but not exactly what one blogs about very often. But I digress, Snet you are awesome and I'm sure we'll enjoy whatever else you have in the works for us!

This was probably the best blog I have read yet. People don't realize that when someone talks about only the great things that maybe there is actually a lot of dirty beneath the gold.

I was expecting something existentialist.

Ah well, good post.
I'm embarrased by my past actions and even more ashamed of my present thoughts and future endeavors to clear my name.

I've always heard the dictum that emergency first responders (EMTs, Firefighters, Police) live in a world that is 99% mind numbing boredom with 1% shrieking terror and insanity. I mean, a lot of their time is in preparation, or waiting. Keeping up with certifications, running through training exercises, driving around or waiting for a call... and then suddenly going into a life or death situation. Going straight from the mundane into the extreme with little to no warning, and then often times having to switch back to a mundane frame of mind (false alarms, misunderstandings, etc).

The best illustration I have of this is when I accidentally missed the time-out on an alarm system at a place I used to work. I was able to contact the alarm company, use a pass word to declare the alarm a false trigger, and deactivate the system. But the responding police officers did not know that. As I and my coworker exited the buildings, the officers were walking up, talking about a football (US) game. The second they saw two people exiting the building, they were immediately reacting. As in, their guns cleared the holsters in 5 seconds flat while they were yelling at us to freeze. While we complied, dispatch came over their radios with the false alarm trigger, they confirmed, and then (again, very quickly) the guns were put away and they were back to their conversation about football. I mean, just picked it back up without missing a beat as they left. That kind of on/off reaction is pretty foreign to me, and I think most people... you can't just turn "on" and "off".

That you can do that, and also maintain a sense of humor, while simultaneously working in an environment when even your best efforts might not keep that patient alive, is amazing. I don't think you're trolling for attention, trying to make yourself out to be a hero, or anything like that. You're telling the stories that you remember. And that's just fine.

TL;dr - Eff the haters, they couldn't begin to do what you do.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?
