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.

    I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.
