When you use the term "jumper cables" it refers to the AED.

You know what DRT means and have used it in a sentence.

Just last night I got to extricate a patient from an apartment what fun.

Rbad, Striker.

I watched some reruns of it

How's this, I once asked what to look for when I see a patient. My mentor(I was a second year trainee nurse).

Air goes in, Air goes out. Blood goes round and round. Anything deviating from that is a problem.

All i gotta say is Amen... No matter all the hassels there is no feeling in the world like when you convert a code...


Molon Labe!
