Thanks for your tax dollars, America.

Yep. Or he contracts a disease from a sputting popped artery. I seem to think it's not always as laid back as you make it seem, DFD :P. And at least you're actually doing something that helps people, not laying on your ass 24/7 (Kaz).

Sometimes it can be hard work, true. However it's the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life.

And we are very careful not to contract diseases. If there's any chance of bodily fluid discharge whatsoever, we gown up, glove up and cover up (masks / respirators - depending on the situation and S&S, goggles, head gowns, etc). Somebody could be bleeding from a gunshot wound (gsw) and I wont touch them until I'm protected. We're no good to anyone dead or dying, so we take care of ourselves first.
