Most of the time I have gone to doctors offices for real medical emergencies, CPR, Unconscious or a bad bleed, they are in a tizzy and no more real help than a 12 year old girl in the same situation. They do such mundane tasks on a day to day basis that they cannot handle a crisis. On the other hand,your fire fighter EMT deals with time sensitive crisis everyday and are much better at it. My advice, count on the people who deal with and train in crisis situations everyday, not just some blowhard who deals with dick pain in an office for 8 hours a day, but with a really expensive piece of paper on the wall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-26066279512829470102016-01-31T02:46:39.690-08:002016-01-31T02:46:39.690-08:00The only person I knew who'd been shot at and ...The only person I knew who'd been shot at and shot back was my father (and my grandfather, but he died when I was 10)... and he NEVER talked like a lot of people on various blogs I read. He was never "tougher than thou", he didn't seem to have anything to prove, and he never talked with me about his experiences. In fact I only found one of his online after he died. I'm sure there are papers I still need to sort through but reading my Dad's pain is not something I need to deal with for a while.) But from him I learned how to tell the blowhards from the people who've been in bad situations.. the people who've been through it are different - quieter, carry themselves differently and without swagger but just with confidence, and he was never "into" all the tactical stuff... he was more down to Earth. "This is needed. This isn't." He used to repeat K.I.S.S. to me a lot... so when I delve into various blogs about possible horrifying scenarios, I tend to just discount the swagger guys. I'm pretty certain they're NOT the people I'd want around me in a bad situation. <br /><br />The only thing about my Dad I could find that he wrote at all: <br /><br />http://www.187thahc.net/Stories/valley.htm<br /><br />Lack of bullshit, still some anger, no swagger. He was always cool and efficient... THAT'S what I'd want around me if/when things get bad. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
