On call: gloves Phone Wallet Pen Watch Regular life: phone Wallet Portable dialysis machine CPR mask/gloves in my backpack Watch After all, I can pull an ambulance out of thin air (give or take 10 minutes) with my phone.

I'd give him the BOTD if he didn't run... by why did she wait for so long before reporting it?

After having way to much time on my hands, I realized the one exception to "and five is four" Nine. Unfortunately, this was pointed out to me after I challenged my friends to find a number that didn't suit the rule- there goes ten bucks! :P

Hope to see you back, you always provided interesting points ^_^

Congrats, hope you go far!

I know that is a regular part of our county's high school health course (along with very basic first aid), so kids aged 13-16 are routinely exposed to it. Its one thing to learn it for a class though, and another to learn it for prospective use.

I'd guess like any other fairly major holiday, with more burn victims thrown into the mix (fireworks and alcohol dont go well together)

Thats pure awesomeness, how were they doing?

To be honest Nothing scares me more in the future then being at a childbirth- i'd much rather see a MCI with traumas up the wazoo, then have to be a catcher for a baby :ph34r: Following this thread closely, as you might imagine :P

Congrats! Hope you do just as well in your other endeavors :)
