O yea bro I totally agree. All the paid ems staff here don't really let it effect us in the field and most of the volunteer firemen don't either. Alot of it is just attitude from S.O. that gets carried on to us on a scene and to the public. I think it's rediculous, not the matter at hand but the way the deputies have let it afffect there attitude toward other public safety. Everywhere else I have worked law enforcement had our back when we needed them and we had theirs if they needed us. I say let the high ups have their pissing contest and we will just do our job but not everyone here let's it be that simple.

Oh...the scope. LOL! First, thank you so much for asking!! It turns out I had a "significantly large ulcer" and "burning at the base of my esophogus, both of which is now scar tissue". That is the quote form the doctor. I have been on medication, so apparently it has healed itself. I get the formal report at my appointment on Monday. Be tween my job and the station, I can't imagine how I possibly could have an ulcer! LMAO! :) Hope all is well with you!

Will do...will do. It has been much better with the meds. Thanks for your interest and concern!

thanks FW the new gig is at sikorsky helicopters. bad part of the new gig is that i can only respond to ems and structural related calls as a FF/EMT, any aircraft calls(which is 90% of our calls) i can only act as an emt but i am heading to ARFF school this spring sometime.....
