I honestly do not understand how seeing an emergency crew member or other medical professional eating or taking a break is somehow “unprofessional”. How the hell is it unprofessional to be human??? Maybe it’s just my experience in emergency services training in CAP or having a paramedic for a grandfather, so I’m more or less used to it, but like…seeing someone, in uniform, taking a break, resting, or eating never bothered me. It was just another person doing their thing before working again, no different from any other worker in any other profession.

You have to be a special level of spiteful and in need of a power trip to photograph an overworked personnel eating because it offended you so much. Get a grip.

@owlstorm yeah this is in response to something I reblogged earlier. In CA emergency workers (EMTs/paramedics I think?) are no longer allowed to have breaks to rest and eat, and they work EXTREMELY long shifts. A couple of workers were photographed by a stranger when they were “caught” eating and sleeping and the person complained that it was “unprofessional” of them to do so. They are now in trouble and all because people have this incessant need to be spiteful and demanding.
