yup rain here as well in the fifties i do miss home tho i would have seen about a foot in MA:glare:

this will be short. in both aspects bls or als, you are only as good as the amount of time you have been doing it. I know of senior BLS crews that have better diagnostic ability then a brand new ALS crew. The only difference is is the paragod attitude that is presented to the BLS crew. ALS has...
