Medic With New P-Card Waiting For the P-Train

Indianapolis, IND. - Local man and brand new paramedic Joe Griffin sees a bright future ahead, full of excitement, fulfilment and above all, "tons of poon."

"My friends and family are really proud and excited for me" Griffin says, wiping sweat from his face after working his first code as a new medic  "and I appreciate that, but anyone who's worked in EMS for a day or two knows that regular folks don't really get what it's all about. I mean, we're fucking heroes right? That's a heavy title to carry around, it comes with a lot of expectations right? But it's all good, I'm more than ready for that risk " he continues, giving this reporter a sly wink " and the rewards."

When asked what he means by rewards, Joe puts his hand up for a high-five from his partner, Toby. " Chicks, man. Chicks love this hero shit. It's a panty-dropper fo' sho'. Ain't that right Tobes? Don't leave me hangin' bro!" 

Toby did, in fact, leave him hanging and walked away. The look on his face that of a man who's seen too much.

"Tobes is always like that, got that real dry sense of humor that the chicks just love. His P card has been reloaded a thousand times. I'm only three days in but I know I'll be drowning in it by the end of the month. I'm realistic, right? I know bitches aren't gonna throw themselves at me the first week. Gotta get some blood and guts on the boots first, right? Lifesaver and heartbreaker, right? Once I've got that hero aura turnt all the way up it's on, bro."

Griffin's partner, Toby, seems to think a bit differently. " This guy has been my partner for three days, which is exactly how much field experience he has. Went straight from getting his EMT cert to medic school, zero time spent as an EMT."

When asked about the validity of Joe's claims, Toby simply mutters
"Fucking kill me", loading the gurney into the ambulance.

I had a few more questions for Joe, but he waved me off and headed towards the hospital entrance to intercept a nurse who was on her way to work.
