This made me laugh a little harder than it should have

This is the greatest thing ever.
 
Just spent just shy of $100 on a new pair of ACUs, just the blouse and trousers (Army terminology can be so quaint at times lol), didn't buy any additional headgear or patches or get anything sewn on, just the pair of pants and jacket.... and yet it was still significantly cheaper than the Nomex shirt and pants I bought for my main EMT job

Nomex? Why Nomex? I wouldn't wear Nomex for any job that doesn't give me a 20 year pension lol
 
736 537 admissions managed by 18 854 hospitalist physicians (median age 41) were included. Patients’ characteristics were similar across physician ages. After adjustment for characteristics of patients and physicians and hospital fixed effects (effectively comparing physicians within the same hospital), patients’ adjusted 30 day mortality rates were 10.8% for physicians aged <40 (95% confidence interval 10.7% to 10.9%), 11.1% for physicians aged 40-49 (11.0% to 11.3%), 11.3% for physicians aged 50-59 (11.1% to 11.5%), and 12.1% for physicians aged ≥60 (11.6% to 12.5%). Among physicians with a high volume of patients, however, there was no association between physician age and patient mortality. Readmissions did not vary with physician age, while costs of care were slightly higher among older physicians. Similar patterns were observed among general internists and in several sensitivity analyses.

This is a fun one to puzzle through for causality.

Reads like a dark sci-fic where the older doctors are draining life force from their patients to prolong their own lifespan.

There was some weird sci fi movie on at the station the other day (In Time, stars Justin Timberlake of all people) that had basically this premise (except instead of doctors it was generic rich people....somehow someway for.....reasons? the genetically engineered people to stop aging but have a time clock that counts down how much time they have left to live and they use that time as currency, where you have poor people living day to day wages and rich folk with centuries saved up.....yeah it was wierd and I missed most of it, I had to Wikipedia it just to figure out what on earth I was watching haha)
 
Met up with @NysEms2117 tonight, (super great guy btw) has any one else on the forums met up with each other? It's always interesting to me putting faces to the anonymous names on here/the other forums I frequent.

@Flying , aren't you and @NysEms2117 practically next door neighbors?
 
I picked @Gurby up from the airport when he came to STL. Now that I have relocated again, I think I am the only Virginia resident.
 
Ya know, I think I am about at the end of my Jems subscription rope. Maybe if they had a critical care "topic of the month" I would reconsider, and even then that's a big maybe.

Yep. I work with 3 other members on this forum. I have only hung out with one outside of work. We are actually going to put some lead down range on Sunday morning @CALEMT.

Sounds like there might be some members going to EMS World expo this year so I will probably see some more there.
