What do you do for a living?

[Dirk Diggler]

Former Navy Corpsman, then pharmacy tech, then 3 year stint as a Honda tech (had to get it out of my system), current mental health RN with the VA. We have a diverse and fascinating group of folks on here.

A fellow healthcare worker! I knew there was a reason I like you! Same gallows humor and all. I wished I worked at a federal facility. Unfortunately I work for the city of Atlanta/Fulton county health department. Underfunded and burned out staff. Hypocratic oath is a joke with our doctors.

Not just where you are. In June some cowboy Dr. placed a NG feed tube into my airway and never checked placement with radiology. Needless to say they killed me for a short time.

CPR or defibrillator?

That stinks. But unfortunately its everywhere. Does the State have any better benefits?

I don't know. I guess CPR as they intubated me as well. Can you use a defib while intubated?

I hold a 310S auto tech licence with an inter provincial seal & a 310T heavy truck & coach licence in Ontario. I now work as a Nuclear Operator Lead hand in a research reactor & have a small engine repair business that I run in my free () time. The Mirage fits perfect with the "Small Engine Repair"...

Wow this thread really got the lurkers out. Hearing from all kinds of wallflowers. Good.

Not for me seeing as Im only part time. Im holding out to get on my fiancee's insurance.

Yes. Tube ensures your airway is open while CPR maintains circulation or defibrillator shocks your heart back into rhythm. Glad you're still with us.

Thanks. I'm sure glad I'm here too. I'm too young to go!
