I only use it for folks who deserve it, like you. Does your god like how you wish death or illness on others?
Go back and read what I wrote, sewer-mouth, and note the careful conditionality of the wording. Or is that too hard for you because it doesn’t have your customary ‘f’ words in it, which seems to be how you communicate best.
Nope...a Registered Resp. Therapist
LOL, I was just kidding.
Seems he was giving Anectine...to those PT's. he "deemed ready to die"...
BTW, I figured you were kidding....seeing how you posted that you were a EMT.
Although one never knows..........
FRegards,
I recently had to do hopital clinical hours for an advanced EMT class - I really enjoyed trailing around after a respiratory therapist. ICU, CCU, truama codes at the ER.....it was a busy exciting day.
I've been "doing it" for quite some time now....NICU, SICU, MICU, ER, Code Team, PICU, Transport, Rehab, LTAC, PFT's, etc..etc...
Got a real "plum" job now..... : )
Take Good Care,
>If private charity does not step in quickly to pay this for her,<
If a few people send her $5, $10 or $20, in no time the bill will be paid.
We don’t need organizations to take care of our fellow citizens and I sure as hell don’t want Uncle Sam making political statements with my money. If I think the cause is worthy, then I like being the one who decides where to spend my money.

Good Samaritan receives outpouring from community, gets bills paid
Wendy Lee was stuck with a $3,000 bill after trying to save a man who was hit by a truck

It turns out that Wendy Lee’s attempt to save a dying man is not going to break her bank account.
On Monday, Lee learned that she is not stuck with the thousands of dollars in hospital bills that she had accumulated after trying to resuscitate Juan Vega after he was hit by a truck in May. He died on the way to Brackenridge Hospital.
The truck hit Vega while he was trying to cross Williamson County Road 172 near Round Rock. Lee stopped to help him and called 911.
When she saw that Vega was not breathing, she gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Vega coughed blood into her mouth, prompting emergency officials to send Lee to the hospital to be tested for HIV and hepatitis B and C. She was also given several medications that slow the development of the viruses.
After Lee’s health insurance paid half her bills, she was left with about $3,000 to pay.
The American-Statesman published a story about her situation last week, which prompted area residents to donate hundreds of dollars. Lee also got an offer of help from state Rep. Dan Gattis, R-Georgetown.
But on Monday, Lee found out that Round Rock Medical Center wrote off the remainder of her bill. The hospital has also offered to pay for a second round of tests, which she will take Wednesday.
Those tests are crucial; doctors say that six to eight weeks after exposure is the most important time to test for HIV and hepatitis because both viruses take time to show up.
Before Monday, she hadn’t planned to go to her follow-up appointment because she said she couldn’t afford the bills.
Kellie Bolin, chief financial officer of Round Rock Medical Center, was unavailable for comment Monday but said in a written statement, “Previously, the patient had not contacted the hospital for assistance with her medical expenses. Once I learned of the patient’s circumstances, the hospital made the decision to pay the patient’s out of pocket medical expenses.”
Lee said she doesn’t plan to keep any of the money she received from people who heard about her story.
“I want to give the rest of the money to the Vega family because I know they need help paying the funeral costs,” Lee said.
Vega’s seven children buried him in Mexico.
“I told her not to worry about it; we already paid most of it. And to keep it to help someone else out,” said Socorro Vega, Juan Vega’s daughter.
But Lee isn’t easily convinced, saying she couldn’t keep the money and doesn’t feel right spending it on herself.
“I would just feel way too guilty,” she said.
“Everything has worked out for the best. It’s all over, and I have a real happy ending. Now I’ve got to start writing thank-you letters.”
