The cool thing about Patrolling or any wilderness EMT job is that it really is an art form in a way that there's options on how to get things done like patient care or work projects and that everyone on the team is open to collaboration and constructive helpful criticism.
But it is really frustrating sometimes as a rookie to an entirely new operation having higher ups and management comedown hard on your leads/mentors and change up our training protocols because "it's not the way I want it done"....nevermind if it's effective or not or if its better...just that "I've been doing x or y for this long and I plan to keep it that way". Dealing with the older generation patrollers and their egos is sometimes hard when you just want to learn how to do your job effectively. There's been a lot of miscommunication lately with directors being off on vacation and coming back to work and acting all pissy because things arent the way THEY want it done because they were checked out for a week....Ugh
And then the GM raised hell about our heaters in our top shack because it dropped down below freezing the other night and everything in the shack froze, it was so cold that some of our medical equipment needed to be replaced. She caught wind of that, came up to our shack, and demanded all appliances and shit be thrown out effective immediately due to it looking "ghetto" with extension cords running.
