Some people are not just professionals in their field. They’re superheroes, making sure that we’re safe and sound, and well taken care of in moments that matter the most.
Many of these superheroes are health professionals who, seeking to help those in need, have to deal with all sorts of gruesome situations on a daily basis. It’s not uncommon for said situations to become life lessons on what (not) to do or use in life, and today, we’re sharing those lessons with you.
On the list below, you will find comments made by emergency medical technicians (EMT), registered nurses (RN), and doctors, after one content creator—Anna Syme, going on TikTok by ‘the_singing_farmwife’—asked them about the things they wouldn’t do or purchase because of the traumas they’ve seen at work. Scroll down to find their advice below and make sure to pay close attention.
Anna turned to TikTok to start the important discussion

Motorcycle. Motorcycle. Motorcycle. Motorcycle. Motorcycle. You can do everything right, doesn't matter. One other person makes a mistake, done for.

Me and my husband are both EMT firefighters….. live your life. Just do the dangerous things carefully and teach your kids the same. We could die from anything any time.

The pets you love will become projectiles in an accident, secure them ALWAYS, just like you put on your seatbelt.

RN, probably an unpopular opinion: Stopped drinking when I started working in the ICU. Liver failure and alcohol withdrawal related complications are no joke and ridiculously sad.

If I'm ever diagnosed with a terminal disease that's imminent I will never do chemo or radiation or immunotherapy. I'd rather do whatever I want with the days I have left.

Sadly the worst things I’ve seen have been due to the healthcare industry itself. So many amputations, infections, deadly UTIs solely because people can’t afford to see professionals.

CNA here. If you are building/buying a house, make sure the doors are wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through.

RT here. Wear a mask when gardening/working in a field or hiking through caves! You don't want those pathogens in your lungs. Trust.

I decided against having kids. I just can’t go through the thought of knowing what I’ve seen can happen to them.
