  • Paramedic here. I’ve worked in emergency medical services for many years. You absolutely did not waste their time, and like others said, you weren’t even the one who called. To be fully transparent: the annoying calls are for the patients who fake a headache and request ambulance transportation in lieu of calling a taxi (Uber nowadays). Some of the worst calls are for patients that either successfully, or partially, committed suicide. Not only is it nearly impossible to resuscitate them; we always wish they had a friend who they could have talked to to prevent such a thing. You have that friend. Any patient genuinely in need of any medical attention, big or small, is exactly why EMTs and paramedics get into the profession. I am glad you are okay, and I’m glad you find Patient Care Reports (PCRs) mildly interesting.

    • I don’t really like tofu.

    I appreciate your post because I switched to Brave maybe 5+ years ago and have been very pleased. I knew of Brave origin, but I had no idea it was free for Linux?! Super good news for me then. The first thing I do on a fresh Brave install is disable all of it’s creature comforts and crypto. By the time I’m done tweaking every setting, it’s as if my browser has short-term memory loss just the way I like it. I don’t need it to remember. I have extensions and bookmarks for things I want to keep track of. For this, Brave has allowed me to say “No” in all the ways other browsers weren’t.
