I'm a former US Coast Guard Emergency Medical Technician. Worked during high school in a hospital hematology lab and all through college as the orthopaedic tech in a downtown Chicago hospital (used to call the emergency room "The Saturday Night Knife & Gun Club"). I got my EMT-A in 1977 and was a weekend warrior in the Coast Guard (sort of a cross between the RNR and the RNLI) until 1994. I still keep up with the literature, have a well stocked medical kit, and could probably barter my skills if necessary. Meanwhile, take two aspirin and call me in the morning...

If at first you don't secede, try, try again!
