Like, for example, when you decide to wreck your car spectacularly, and smear the contents of your entire ventral body cavity all over the asphalt: I'm going to be honest, I'm not even remotely qualified to put you back together in such an instance. I mean, if it was me ripped open, I would not want someone like me in charge at that point. Good thing its going to be you.
Also, all of you out there who aren't getting tested for all those awful diseases you are exposing yourself to, and then going out, getting hurt, and exposing me: you keep me awake at night all ready. I'm was enough of a germaphobe before, now there is TB, Hep A, B, C, D; MRSA, bacterial meningitis, HIV, and oh so many more to worry about. Not to mention the general filth, pus and every possible bodily fluid to worry about.
Seriously. Read crustyambulencedriver.blogspot.com. You will think twice and then some before ever calling the ambulance again.
What really bothered me though, was that our instructor said that the divorce rate for EMS personnel is above 70%. Seriously. She is divorced also, just in case you were wondering. I mean, with that kind of success rate, what is the point of trying? It kind of makes you wonder.
I really miss Seattle, strangely enough. I miss the rain, the city.
I am so in love with Nip/Tuck, but it is so fucked up. Seriously, whoever writes for this show, I would pay to see their psych eval- who comes up with this kind of shit?
Take care. And wash your hands vigorously and often.

I probably should leave something a little more relevant to your post, but this is what I got right now:
I feel like I should get tested for STDs even though I am a virgin and haven't had any oral sex either... what do you think?
Also, I would trust you to put me back together. I think you'd do a great job and you've already done it before :)
You won't be putting anybody back together. Your job is very simple: scoop them up and drive real fast to the hospital.
Remember your BSI protocols and wash your hands.
The divorce rate is so high because people tend to date/marry within their own career fields. Don't date people you work with, or other EMTs! And don't make poor marriage decisions. Your intended spouse will have to understand career concerns before hand, or accept them after the fact. Believe me, my "hours" and career are a lot harder on relationships than yours will be.
