re: The ER is such a joke

if you think the ER is bad try working as a paramedic in a large metro area. When I graduated from paramedic school in 1989, our physician/instructor stated "If you got to a large metro area and 911 only your career expectations are 8 years or less" I survived 7 years. The call you see were ridiculous, babies with diaper rash, toothaches, "my cat is sick" cells (Vaginal area issues).
