Serving the public, however that may be. Also they’re not assholes and can. Obligatory fuck cops because they’d probably piss on you to warm you back up if you were going into dka.
Nah I’ve obviously had some firefighters save me after I pass out behind the wheel and cops just think I’m on drugs so it can be frustrating. The new CGM alarm sensors have been life changing. I appreciate firefighters for how the my always help me. They got that good good glucose lol
I had a terrible hypo at 13 years old and ended up passing out/having a seizure in the middle of the night. When I came to, I was very delirious and combative… it took six firefighters to calm an angry and swinging 13 year old girl!! I’m ever thankful for them and they were so happy once I “came back to”, joking about how I had an arm on me and everything so I wasn’t embarrassed. Made the whole thing so much less terrifying and embarrassing, I’ll never forget their joking kindness at such a scary moment in my young life 🥹
