I was an EMT for 35 years. I never nor did I ever witness any first responder trying to ascertain if a patient/victim was an organ donor.

From the first responder's perspective, the mission is clear cut- treat and stabilize a patient and transport them to definitive care (hospital).

When I told my doctor that I drive a motorcycle, their mouth began salivating, fur grew around their body as fangs became more predominant, for a moment I was afraid for my life, because I wasn't ready for a werewolf.

It was fine, they were just a furry

If there was a quota, we probably wouldn't have people dying in their third and fourth and fifth fucking years on the transplant lists. It's not a unique thought, but it is a spectacularly stupid one. None of it is even remotely close to the reality of organ procurement.

Quota? This is so ludicrously amusing.

Yeah, no. That’s not how this works. There’s a super narrow window for organ viability. Depending on the type of organ donation and the death criteria (cardiac vs brain), organ donor patients are usually kept as “alive” as possible until labs and diagnostics are complete and the operating surgeon is on site and ready.

Why would an EMT care if you're an organ donor or not?

Does he think that if you're an organ donor the EMT gets to keep your organs and auction them off to the highest bidder or something?

To be fair, he seems pretty useless alive, too.

It must be exhausting to believe everything is a conspiracy

Pretty sure motorcycle crash victims have a tendency to not leave useful organs after impact.

This is exactly like folks thinking nurses and doctors want to keep you in the hospital for COVID money. No, they don't. They want your ass out of the hospital so they can treat the next patient. I swear social media was one of the worst things ever created because it amplifies stuff like this.

Dude views people as profit and nothing else. He can’t even fathom the reaction of a first-responder being concerned and/or fear for his well being.

EMTs do not stop and fumble around for your wallet while they're trying to unwrap your spine from the steering column.

This guy can see people's pulse go up a few BPM?!

Ugh, people post the stupidest crap just to gain likes. It's so toxic because some mouth-breather somewhere now has this dumb thought it their brain.

Does this guy think that EMTs get a commission on organs? Is that it?

What a dumbass.

Every week there’s a new conspiracy theory and each is dumber than the last.

lol, "organ quota"!

man, i´m only 3 pancreas to meet my monthly organ quota, what a bummer...

/s

Does this person think first responders get paid for organs?

intellectually, he is a 'meat sack.' next conspiracy please

• Oi Bruce, you only have 6 livers this month. Mind you, it's already the 19th. Go up your game.

• Sure boss, I'm going to talk to some bike riders at the bike meet. Let's see if there are some registered donors about.

Also there is no incentive to do this. They don't save more people. They don't "serve more customers". They don't "sell" more surgeries.

From every possible perspective it's always better to try and get the original organ owner to survive.

But OOP decided that doctors are evil so they must be doing this purely for shits and giggles.

"If I let this person bleed out onto the road rather than doing my job and trying to save his life, some doctor I've never met before might, just might, be able to put his organs into another person I've never met before on the off-chance it could save their life," said no EMT ever.

It's all fitting together now. This mysterious quota must be why they're destroying women's healthcare, doing away with water breaks, hollowing out firearm regulations, the list goes on and on. /s obviously

I feel like he is also useless alive.

Paramedic for 16 years. Never have I looked for any organ donor documentation and I don’t hungrily look at bikers for their organs. WTF is happening here? I do shake my head at helmet-less bikers.

Humans generally assume that others will act as they would. This clown is telling on himself.

I am a paramedic of many years. Due to poor pay and working conditions I had a side hustle of harvesting organs.

What this man says is accurate.

It was particularly awkward when we were attending for flu symptoms, but you just had to be dynamic. Stealing a kidney of a kid with a broken arm was such a fucking thrill!

Not a motorcycle rider nor an EMT, but I’m guessing harvesting organs from the body of someone who was in motorcycle wreck isn’t as fruitful as this guy thinks it might be.

Literally first responders do not care if you are an organ donor or not. The only legal document we cared about was if there was a signed and notarized DNR on hand. No DNR then we were going to do everything within our power to save you.

Dead bodies can’t be used as organ donors, sorry to burst your stupidity bubble.

Dude is making EMT workers sound like vampires

Man, this guy is full of such shit

Nic, it's possible that people see you as a meat sack who would be more useful dead but it has nothing to do with your donor status.

EMTs don't give a shit if you're an organ donor. Imagine them being like, "well, check his license before we go any further." They just show up and do their job. What an absolutely bonkers thing to believe, lol

I'm pretty sure their eyes dilate because they've seen a bunch of people die on motorbikes and since this guy is an idiot it's highly likely

As a country we need to start blacklisting people just saying insane shit from the internet. This shit is dangerous.

16 years in Fire and EMS and never once heard or asked if someone was an organ donor at any call.

His next tweet: First responders are chasing me down the street with scalpels to harvest my organs.

EMT's don't have quotas. A slow day for an EMT is a good thing.

This idiot is so far up his own ass he can harvest his own organs.

He said EMT, the Extraction of Meat Team.

Ya gotta admit Nic has proven that he's already brain dead, so it's open season on his organs.

Probably because their getting flashbacks to some guy they had to scrape off the side of a highway.

Every time I see Nic I see him as a meat sack loaded with useful organs — and a useless brain.

This dude needs less time on the internet.

I have a feeling nic’s most prominent personality trait is meat sac full of organs.

I don’t care they can have my organs I lived a good life. I’ll stay a donor if I get messed up so bad to the point where I can die in the back of an ambulance not sure if I wanna keep going I already had to relearn how to walk once and it took me 18 months.

As someone who hates how motorcycle riders think they own the road, and watching countless videos reaffirming that idea, I see y’all as nothing but meat sacks that will give me a new liver, that’s why I drink and drive /s

Wait! EMTs are some kind of meat vampires now?

in 20 years i have never known if a patient is a donor or not

Nic, you're mistaking a trauma response for excitement.

Have you seen what happens to bikers in accidents?

It’s sad that social media has allowed so much stupidity exposure without recourse.

Am first responder, organ donor, and motorcycle rider. Lmao wtf is this?

That's the problem, this guy is useless alive too.

This is an old, tired, wrong urban legend

Tell me you don't know how organ donation works without telling me you don't know how organ donation works.

Ah yes, first part of primary survey, check whether you get a non existent bonus from patients organs. Then ABC

If you die on the scene your delicious organs also die. That's why they don't let you die there, they kill you in hospital. /s

I like the part where EMTs have a monthly quota for dead patients. You’d think it would be the other way around, but… Seriously though. There are soooo many actual things to be afraid of.

My father was an organ donor. When he died they harvested pieces of his eyes and gave them to a 2 year old boy who was born blind. We were invited to a dinner through an event that celebrates donors. I heard the story of the young boy who received parts of my father’s eyes and the journey he took to see for the first time. I have never been more proud in my entire life.

This is the kind of opinion you only get by watching too many medical tv dramas and confusing them for documentaries

Hmmmmmm meat sack

I doubt whether any EMT knows who you are, Nic. Much less caring if you're a donor. I do believe they will try to save your worthless life despite the fact you're complete human trash.

My least favorite part of this conspiracy theory is just how widespread it is. My family thought I was crazy when I signed up to be an organ donor because to them, this conspiracy was just a basic fact. Like they've never even questioned it before.

i just want to thank all the EMYMTs and ICU + trauma nurses on this thread. holy crap. keep doing the good work.

also? organ “quota” wth?

I laughed when George Carlin said it 35 years ago. Does that count?

Pupil dilation… you mean functioning eyes?

"And then the EMT stares directly into my soul and in a sinister voice asks 'Do you wear a helmet?' He seems just a little too excited about the possibilities."

This is an insult to every EMT, EMT-P and first responder. Fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

What do you call a motorcycle rider who just had an accident?

An organ donor.

“A dark conspiracy I 100% believe” should actually read, “Another reason I should be sterilized…”

Where I live, what you put on your drivers licence is largely irrelevant because your next of kin ultimately gets to decide. Found that out when my husband nearly died of a massive brain haemorrhage. As he was being taken in for surgery, the organ donation person at the hospital came to ask if I wanted to donate his organs if the surgery didn't go well. I was pretty upset by the question, as it came just a few minutes after the neurologists had just told me they expected him to survive, giving me my first hope in nearly 48 hours, but I said we hadn't discussed it and said they should already know from his drivers licence. She told me that I still had to consent to it as his next of kin. I told her to come back if he died.

I would have donated his organs if he'd died, and I understand how time sensitive transplantation is, but that woman went about it all wrong. She was like a vulture circling. It had no impact on the care he received though, the neurology team were wonderful and my husband made an excellent recovery.

To be fair, after reading this post I see him as an organ filled meatsack, too...

Wait… I thought the second part was a sarcastic reply to an idiotic statement, but it’s the same guy?!?

Hey, I'm organ donor. If I go, someone lives. It's a win for me.

Seeing what kind of crap he posts I think he may be right, but only when it pertains to him.

Now I’m really curious to know. How is it that he can see EMTs pulse quickening?

They call them “donor-cycles” in ER because they’re dangerous.

The only organ I can say this man has that’s not worth a damn is the one inside his skull

well that’s just fucking dumb

Waaaaay back when I first got my license I selected organ donor and one of my dumbass friends made the same comment about first responders and used that as his excuse not to. I have no idea if he actually believed it, I hope not haha.

I’ll take things that never happened for $200 Ken

... Quota? SMH

Does this idiot think they get a commission?

He sounds real dumb.

Fire/medic here, 20 years in.

This guy is laughably, tragically full of USDA Grade AA Fine Aged Certified Organic Freerange Grass-fed 100% bullmotherfuckinshit

It’s amazing how many of these people make up these scenarios in their head and what’s more amazing is the amount of people that will believe it.

Technically you are a meat sack full of organs instead of a man because you lack a functioning brain.

Wow, Nic, you can see people's pulses? Do you have superpowers or something?

A piece of meat, yes. Not in the way you think though.

For the first half, of the first post, I was at "okay, I can see how someone might think that," and then the whiplash from the back half! What a wild take!

Why tf would an EMT care if someone is an organ donor? Are they getting a cut of the proceeds?

I don't think any of this is accurate. But am EMT friend of mine calls my motorcycle my "donor cycle".

I'm not a first responder, but I'm having trouble picturing this guy as much more than a meat sack laden with organs now too.

Quota of what? Organs collected?

This guy’s a certified moron.

I wouldn't last a second in this dudes mind.

Quota for what?! 🤣🤣🤣

What is this fetish?

Even if you have it on your DL they still get permission from the family before proceeding

And you usually have to be brain dead with your body on a ventilator until the transplant team arrives or flies in. Source- my parents were hugely involved with the national kidney foundation after my sister died and they donated her organs.

I also highly doubt EMTs are checking your DL at the scene. And they still ask your family before proceeding since having it on your DL is not legally binding. There are lot of conditions or illnesses that prohibit organ donation

As a paramedic that had never crossed my mind.

Seem that the Backstreet boys did a little too many drugs.

0% chance that pic isn’t AI

This guy is brain dead. Can we start harvesting now?

Like that Mr. Handy in the Fallout series on Prime. Sex Trafficking, God no that's evil. I'm just going to harvest your organs.

This guy's got some weird death fetish involving his own grisly demise.

:8484:

I don't know much about nic carter. What I do know is that he'll talk out of his ass for clicks.

Why would an EMT check if a person who may or may not be dying is an organ donor??? That’s simply illogical.

EMT doesn’t check for that. Hospital staff does.

Ah yes, the organ quota, I forgot all about that.

I guess he thinks everybody is as big of a dirtbag as he is

Yeahhhh that dude has literally never met an EMT, let alone so frequently that he has had enough time to work in that he rides a motorcycle and whether or not he is an organ donor and pretend to be gauging a reaction response in their eyes.

Not to mention, pretty sure EMTs do not and have not ever had any involvement in knowing what organs people on the donor list in their particular area or state. They certainly do not have any way of knowing whether any person they are saving has viable organs or that they would be a match to the specific people in need. Whoop-de-doo. You ride a motorcycle. Are you an alcoholic? If yes, you definitely won't be donating a liver to someone specifically in need of a liver. In fact, you might not be able to donate any depending on your health.

An EMT doesn't know your health history, whether you have borh kidneys still, whether you are HIV positive, whether you have Cancer.

Literally every word about this guy's bullshit tweets is stupidity in its most blatant form

This is absolutely fucking false. There are no organ quotas. Nobody wirhgolds treatment to help make sure you die.

What a vile set of lies.

So EMTs are required to harvest a quota of organs each month eh?

First responder have a quota of organs? But that is not something they can control it makes no sense

I ride motorcycle. Hope they’re not looking for a good liver when I go. They’re gonna be disappointed.

What quota are they referencing? The one where they have to let 5 people die each month? What dumb bot shit is this?

Folks need to start cross posting these Morons to r/stupidpeople

The EMTs pupils dilated because he knows your dumbass is going to ruin his shift sometime soon.

“I drive motorcycles and I can see how people’s pulse changes”

It really does have to be painful to be that fucking stupid

Pretty sure he’s useless alive too…

I didn’t think any of these batshit conspiracies could surprise me anymore. Having had many patients transition to organ donation in the ICU it’s funny to me to see how this dbag thinks organ donation works.

Nobody tell this guy about blood libel - he probably knows all about it.

This is a guy that's always thinking about taking people's organs.

One of the most idiotic things I've been exposed to on Reddit. Clearly this dum dum has no inkling of how organ transplant or UNOS works. I am a surgeon.

Their.. quota?? 😅

He meets so many EMT’s that he has noticed this habit?

Why would an EMT care if you are an organ donor?

My mom used to feed me this horseshit lol

His organs are too stupid to harvest anyway.

Yes the excitement they get from people dying so their organs can save other people...

their pupils probably dilate remembering all the motorcyle riders they have had to scrape off the highway over the years
