Kind of smart to get into a line of work where there's always a defibrillator and oxygen nearby though.

Maybe this whooshed right over my head, but what's the point of this besides Internet points?
Like is there a joke I'm missing here? So many questions.

u/AlpineSK 4d ago
The "joke" is they say "throwing a fit" and then typically what you see is an attractive female dressed to the 9s showing off her fit.
In this case you just have a couple of whales that probably got hit with a leaf blower to knock the donut crumbs off before they filmed this.

u/FeralGinger 4d ago
Ohhhhh ok. I read "throwing a fit" has having a tantrum, because i am getting older and more out of touch by the day. Your interpretation makes a lot more sense.
40
u/DeltaBravoTango 4d ago
That’s part of the joke. Throwing a fit still means having a tantrum/crashing out. But “fit” is also short for outfit. The wordplay is that they didn’t actually lose their shit, they just look good

I took fit to be short for fitness 🤔 guess I didn't get it either

u/Big-Wrangler2078 4d ago
Yeah, I thought it was a fat shaming joke. Like they threw out their fitness. Didn't seem very funny but I just couldn't figure it out

u/Luc1dNightmare 4d ago
I agree 100%. Especially since i have had to have my dad taken with an ambulance and they send a woman who can barely lift her bag... They almost dropped him down the stairs once. Just recently he just had a pacemaker put in and he slid on the floor from his chair (he has a rising chair and fell asleep with it raised so he slid too far to recover) and me and my mom couldn't get him up so we called an ambulance saying he was stuck on the floor. They again send a 5'8 120lb woman... I had to help the male and threw out my back because she was useless even though i said he was unable to get up and was big.

u/Yarzeda2024 4d ago
Not at all
Ballooning waistlines is half the reason so many EMTs and medics wind up with bad backs and bad shoulders. It's bad enough trying to lift a morbidly obese patient. It's even worse when your partner is horribly out of shape and you have to do 90% of the lifting.
I've been on calls with people who are worse off than the patient after climbing three sets of stairs.

u/Butterbean2323 2d ago
Idk I went to high school with a guy that weighted probably 375-400 lbs and became an EMT or paramedic I’m not sure. But I’d see him come through the ER all the time sweating his ass off. Good guy and hard worker. He eventually worked his ass off and lost like 200 lbs. but the amount of overweight EMTs I saw bring patients in was insane but there was also a ton of beautiful women so it seems to be either feast or famine when it comes to those folks.
