And on top of that when a scene turns bad and we hear gunshots again, while we are in the ambulance administering to ourselves high-flow diesel (getting the fuck out), the cops are staying there and going in.

The NYPD guys dont do much of that usualy the fdny guys come in first, but they seem to have a prety good relationship with the medics out this way and are usualy super cool with us in the ER. Som eof the medics are interesting, a bunch are extremely good/smart, then theres a few who think they are, theyre the dangerous ones but it seems the othe rmedics try to reel them in. Sometimes they will let em get ripped apart by one of us to teach em a lesson
