    Has she ever been there? My wife swore she would never agree to live where we now live. Then she saw the area in person, and it jumped to the top of her list.

    I've found this site to be an excellent reflection of the various types who inhabit virtually every station.

    Fair enough. But did he have a gag reflex? Trismus? Some other issue that would prevent you from simply performing an intubation?

    B to P, timeline??

    No. I already had (have) an advanced degree, so I took the Admin core courses as electives but graduated with the Paramedicine A.S. instead of the B.S.
