Your job changes you. Or at the very least, it contributes to shaping your perspective on the world. Nuclear medicine technologist from Texas, Reed Rummel, has been working in high-pressure environments and has seen firsthand what happens when things go wrong.
So, to remind the internet not to put themselves in unnecessarily risky situations, Reed started creating a (mini) video series. In these clips, he reveals the non-negotiables he has learned from his hospital experience.
From seemingly inconsequential decisions to bad, bad habits, these mistakes can cost a lot. And there’s no rewind button in life.
This healthcare worker has seen a lot on the job

And swore to himself never to do certain things






We can rationalize ourselves into a lot of mistakes in everyday life

But sometimes one bad decision can have huge consequences






So why take unnecessary risks?

Especially in high-stakes situations, like driving down the highway








After these videos started doing the rounds on social media
