Did I mention I went through a year long "Advanced Combat Casualty Care" course taught by a CDR we called Thunder Thighs, and was on the "Rapidly Deployable Medical Forces" initial team?

Oh, did I say that as well as deliver your babies, remove your appendix, set your bones, and sew you back together, that I can work a sewing machine?

I can grow pretty much anything and I'm good at improvising, other than that I'm in for midgets and blow! G44L

Your "Blow" is a good analgesic for when somebody pops you in the nose with a bat.

Paramedic, plumber, butcher, one heck of a cook and a major student of history. There is nothing on this planet dumber or more dangerous than a group of people.

I could use a good plumber in this group! Doesn't hurt to have a more experienced medic with just a lowly EMT hopeful either lol

You don't go by the handle "Terminus Mary", do you?
I really agree with your last statement.

As for the lowly EMT statement somebody made, if a Paramedic can't deal with a problem in a post-industrial age, I'm pretty sure it's check out time anyway. Look at combat survival rates during the civil war, or even WWI and WWII.
