Looking for people who work in either the health care system or in emergency services! I am a firefighter/paramedic who would like to support others in a similar occupation! Anyone else can be my friend as well! Good luck to you!

    Perhaps, but bless you for being that guy. Both of my parents work in that field -- it certainly has its own unique challenges!

    Then again, coming from my oh-so-first-world-problems as a college instructor, all of you on this message board are rock stars/heroes in my book...

    Dr. Analg,

    The majority of my patient interactions are with geriatrics. I find that treating a geriatric patient in emergency situations to be quite interesting, and at times challenging, as they are different then treating the average adult patient in my opinion. I have a lot of respect for the specialty practice you perform.
