Although I'm in Los Angeles so they're professionals not volunteers, and also I expect them to keep their boots on. Especially because they're going to have to take the gurney outside on the balcony to get it into and out of the bedroom, and I also wouldn't want a delay at our door for them to tie their bootlaces before heading to the hospital. permalink fedilink source parent [–] KernelTale@programming.dev 14 points 5 days ago (1 child) My spouse is bleeding out and needs a surgery as fast as possible! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago (1 child) That's all dandy and fine but did they take their shoes off? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KernelTale@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago thankfully yes otherwise my entire day would have been ruined permalink fedilink source parent
