We asked the tough (and totally ridiculous) questions on our podcast—now it’s your turn to weigh in. Answer honestly.

💬 Think we missed a good one? Drop your own “Would You Rather” at the end!

Be stuck in an elevator with a patient who has a GI bleed, or one with bed bugs who is yelling at you?

Find out a call was recorded on a Ring camera, or realize you left your body cam on in the bathroom?

Go on a pediatric arrest where the parents are yelling, or a nursing home arrest where no one knows the patient?

Have a partner who takes every refusal personally, or one who tries to get a refusal on every patient?

Have a partner who won’t stop talking, or one who refuses to speak the entire shift (even when needed)?

Narrate every step of every call for an entire 24-hour shift, or have a high school student ride along every shift for the rest of the year?

Get toned out for a man down at a gas station, or an unknown medical at Waffle House (both at 2 AM)?

Have a bystander film your entire scene, or have a supervisor silently watching from the corner without your knowledge?

Intubate in a pitch-black trailer with roaches, or decompress a chest in front of the patient’s entire family?

Run every call with your ex as your partner, or be permanently assigned to the slowest station in your system?

Be the only paramedic on a multi-casualty scene, or the only one who knows how to work a monitor during a double cardiac arrest?

Wear an unwashed uniform shirt for three shifts, or ride passenger with someone who won’t stop singing?

Relive your worst rookie mistake, or have your most awkward patient interaction go viral?

Do CPR in a hoarder’s house, or in the back of an ambulance with SO driving and 8 firefighters inside?

Forget your jump bag at the station, or be denied caffeine for an entire shift?

Would you rather have your ECG printer jam during a STEMI or your IV pump fail during a levo drip?

Would you rather lose your trauma shears on scene or accidentally bring home the station’s narc key?

Would you rather work a code with the fire crew that never stops yelling, or the one that just stares at you and doesn’t lift a finger?

Would you rather be called “ambulance driver” all shift, or have every single patient ask if this ride is free?

Would you rather accidentally activate the air horn at a funeral, or hit the PA system while singing to the radio?

Would you rather wear boots two sizes too small, or duty pants that won’t stop falling down?

Download the PDF below so you can trauma bond with your coworkers and friends during downtime, shift change, or after that third “unknown medical.” Laugh, argue, and maybe cry a little 🚑

No judgment (okay, maybe a little).
