It'd probably get blocked by Agriculture and Fisheries at the border.

Survived my first typhoon.

Where? I went through many while I lived on Guam. Can be crazy, eh? Terrible while it lasts, then fun for about a week afterwards. After a month without electricity though....... :-S

The navy had a contract with the civilian governmet that the base would buy all it's electricty from the island unless a certain amount of time past. After the storms, that time would always pass and the navy would hook up the LA class submarines ported in Guam into the base power grid. So for several weeks our electricty was generated by nuclear subs. =)

Don't say I never offered you anything.

*Brown scratches his head and wonders what on earth the bloody hell a Sassafras is

I agree.

Stoopid standardized patient encounters with stoopid tunnel vision...

 

[Lifeguards For Life]

I agree.

I always thought people were exaggerating about the "granny stubbed her toe at 3am" calls, but seriously, that :censored::censored::censored::censored: happens - A LOT.

Yeah, I knew it was bad, but nothing can ever prepare you for it.

I was furious the other day when I saw someone call 911 to be taken to the hospital a few blocks from their house to get stitches removed from their hand. Nothing wrong with the stitches, no pain, nothing, just time for them to come out. The hospital is in easy, 10 min walking distance, and I actually know this particular person has the ability to walk and a bus pass.

That was probably the first time I could not come up with any sort of potentially justifiable reason for the person to be requesting EMS.

they came back a year later, with orange flowers and orange paint. they painted the grass orange and even left some orange peels there...

Hey, that works! B)

How about this:

At ambulance level 1. Get a call for a lift assist. THREE TIMES! Couldn't they just send the engine instead of an engine and an ambulance?
Not much the nurses could do, they are just following their set of rules.

Brown is going on vacation this weekend; hopefully Mrs Brown does not miss me too much.

*Brown hands his orange jumpsuit with 'DOCTOR' written on it, Thomas Pack and keys to the helicopter to Oz. Cover me man.

Oh yeah...or the ones who fall 3 days before and all of a sudden they decide they want a ride to the hospital. You get there, they walk out of the house to meet you, past 4 or 5 vehicles sitting in the drive. Then want you to run Signal 9 (lights and sirens) so they'll get to the ER faster.... :wacko::wacko:h34r:

I think I offered pics to Brown LOL. But I did say it's make a cool cat name with all the "S" sounds in it. Maybe I'll get a kitten and call her Sassafrass just for Brown. Then I can take pics and post them and say "THIS is sassafrass" ^_^ Kittehs!
