I'm a critical care paramedic, so no, I don't deal with any of that.
I can't afford to show bias in my line of work, (I don't anyway), it might cost someone their life. Every incident I attend, assistance is administered purely on a needs alone basis. Who needs it the most gets its first. It's never based on personal political, economic, religious or social beliefs. I don't get to make moral or biased judgements when treating and administering assistance to patients. Just as it should be.
You aren't the target of people's violence and abuse though. No one throws rocks at your ambulance or yells cuss words at you for being a paramedic, do they? By the way, I have seen first hand what EMT's do, and I have the utmost respect for them.
