  • Jason Patton just might be the funniest-and most recognized-firefighter-paramedic in the country. Millions of followers turn to his “Fire Department Chronicles” social media channels for a humorous behind-the-scenes look at the lives of first responders. But it’s not all pranks and jokes-Patton is a serious business leader who serves as vice president of Fire Department Coffee and is a staunch advocate for mental health and addiction issues plaguing first responders.
    EMS World was honored to feature Patton as the keynote speaker during EMS World Expo 2022 in Orlando. We caught up with him for a few minutes afterward to get his take on the energy and enthusiasm of the conference, as well as an exciting new announcement for his fans.

    I started as a volunteer EMT in '86 for 6 yrs w/3 different departments (@same time) including a tourist town for a summer. The tourist town could go from 1500 population in winter to 60k in summer. I wish that I still had my occasional journals that I wrote from back then... the funny, the audacious, the shocking stories just don't change through the years. Luckily, I worked with some great people through those years- some would say sick minded- because we would find something funny about EVERY call. Your humor is on spot!

    Just discovered FDC a few weeks ago. I'm not a fireman, EMT or paramedic. Sometimes I understand what he's on about and sometimes I don't but Jason is always a hoot.

    Just a comment on something I have learned. I have severe ptsd and started having extreme anxiety and depression. I learned I start physically mentally and emotionally collapsing when I’m overwhelmed and that leads to dehydration. I always thought dehydration is more of a flue feeling but I now know it’s a cause of mental breakdown. Please check people who are suffering from mental issues for dehydration. Thank you so much.

    But Jason is the best because of his scripting and comedic timing!
    We don't need another trauma/drama cortisol-raising series.
    Yes, they are all heros, all day, every day.
    But the call is for more laughter in life,
    More joy
    More light hearted moments
    More Darwinism award moments!
    Come on networks, wake up!
    Get us addicted to laughter not shock, blood and danger...

    I’m ecstatic to hear you just filmed the pilot for a tv show. I’ve actually been wondering why you haven’t had a tv show of your own.
    I went to EMT school many years ago and loved it. I would’ve loved to be a paramedic as well. I decided to go to school and get my BSN as it was a better fit for me. At the time I was a single mom of 3 teenagers and I was sure they’d kill each other if I was away working for 24 hour shifts. There were a few times over the years that I did use the EMT training I had received. One time I was the only medically trained person among the people who stopped to help after witnessing a few accidents. After hearing the “good advice” given by the people who had no type of medical knowledge whatsoever. At a motorcycle accident, some of those people were preparing to move the victim’s unconscious and broken rag doll body. I’m pretty sure I’m the reason he
    wasn’t internally decapitated by
    those good samaritans who had planned to drag him across a multi lane freeway.
    I’m in awe of and tremendously grateful for all Firefighters & EMS - thank you all for your selfless service ❤
    Now I’m arthritic and have had multiple back and joint surgeries and I’m 100% positive that no one wants to call 911 and have me show up. The only way I could help would be by lying down next to the patient and keeping them company whilst telling them about all of my medical problems🙃

      Thank you❤ for what you've done and your sense of humor. I've worked in mental health and hospice care.I'm physically in the same boat as you now and with major heart bummer. I'm always cracking come back jokes. It got me more coffee in the hospital after 3x bypass and next to someone who couldn't tell me to turn off cartoons.😅😅😅

    • @kellyscott6361
      @kellyscott6361 Рік тому +6

      @@cynthiaahern9081 Thank you too! I truly appreciate your kind words. I’m sorry to hear about your health problems too as they sound very difficult. Without the help and guidance of mental health professionals like you, I’d have the personality of a rock. I think it’s so helpful to be able to see the humor in life. I actually think it helps those close to us handle our infirmities. The most significant thing for me is that I keep talking to friends, family and all who support me. It’s easy for me to isolate during difficult times. My friend told me to pick up my 5000 Lb phone and CALL SOMEONE! she’s right - I always feel better after reaching out to someone. Sometimes I feel better simply by hearing about that person’s day - often mine isn’t as bad as I thought after all! I hope you are doing well today - sending you a virtual hug ♥️

      1 the others can’t communicate with him
      2 it’s on the EMSWorld channel
      3 he is obviously actually in the chair, note the wrinkles in the seat.
