Every child in a car seat. Every time. No freaking excuse is good enough. 10 years as a Paramedic and now I work Neuro ICU in a level I trauma hospital. You wanna not wear a seatbelt? Fine. I’ve got no problems working with the tube that will be coming out of the hole in your skull after your TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury.)
But to make the same choice for your child? Inexcusable.
I’m sorry for those parents – but I’d like to have had the chance to slap the living crap out of them BEFORE they went for a drive with a baby in their lap.
I have been an Intensive Care nurse for 11 years. This blog is about my experiences as a nurse, and the experiences of others in the healthcare system - patients, nurses, doctors, paramedics. We all have stories!

i think we’re all anxiously waiting some new posts.
