    paranormal tv

    I watch them from time to time. I enjoy the Ghost Adventures on The Travel Channel. Because even when it is not interesting from a paranormal aspect, I think those guys are pretty out there.

    Professional liability insurance as a volunteer

    Might want to check that. It is not that simple. NY 3013 Seems like it has to be gross negligence.

    stupid question about state written

    When I got mine, my instructor did call me a couple of weeks after the written and told me that I had passed and told some others they had failed. I am not sure if that have access to a listing that we don't or if they get notified as soon as the test are graded. Either way, you can't do...

    Volunteer VS Paid

    There are so many lengthy and locked threads on this issue, because it always causes heated debate. I think this discussion/argument has run its course many times over.

    Going the Navy with EMT-B

    All the Marine Corps medical personnel are Navy. That is the FMF Community. If you want the Navy and want Combat Medic that's the route to take.

    Going the Navy with EMT-B

    Corpsman can be assigned to a multitude of post. Many of them have nothing to do with being a medic in combat. It is not a bad career, but I would not expect just with joining the navy that you will be able to get into FMF (Fleet Marine Force) Corpsman.

    Woman in labor claims hospital ignored her

    In that statement I was speaking specifically of the women in that show. Not this particular case. Sorry, I must not have made that as clear as I meant to.

    Woman in labor claims hospital ignored her

    I guess. My wife watches a show that is all about women who don't know they are pregnant until they are giving birth. It's called I didn't know :"I was pregnant", not sure what network it is on. She says it is hilarious. I personally think it is just a bunch of women who ignore the...
