Write your reply.

assistant: hello I just finished my externship for Medical Assistant...I am with u I
don't understand those stupid things either...We did tredmill stress tests on
elderly patients with heart problems..they were out of breath, could hardly
talk to you, while on a tredmill...BUT, their pulse-ox said they were at a
95%oxygen..it is "suppose" to be for the whole body.  Personally I have found
that just putting that on their finger is not a good judge.  The pulse-ox has
a habit of falling off and not making a good connection.  So, I really don't
know the answer to your question either...Hope I didn't confuse u anymore :)
If u ever find out the answer pass it along to me too will ya?
thanks

I have seen really sharp rigs from other service out of state..must be

assistant: Instead of going with orange, we went with a teal stripe and a blue
heartbeat that runs the length of the rig. It has "Emergency Medical
Services" in 3M reflective material that is also on each side. So far,
they haven't had the strobes put on it yet. We wanted red flashers and
blue strobes. But, the state mandates that all emergency vehicles only
have red lights. Funny thing is, I'm allowed to have a blue light in my
personal vehicle for responded to an emergency, but we can't have any on
the ambulance. Wierd huh ?

i am a poet, here is a short example of my poetry :)
       THE FIRST KISS
The first kiss I remember well
as well as our first embrace
I remember how it made my head swell
and made my fluttering Heart race!
I remember the twinkle in your eye
your Heavenly glow lit up the sky
your tender lips were ever so soft
they sent my heart drifting aloft
rather than floating on cloud nine
your kiss sent me to heaven devine
I was literally lifted off of my feet
by your passionate kiss ever so sweet
I swear that I seen stars after that kiss
my mind clouded by A heavenly mist
there is no doubt what that kiss did for me
it left me suspended in shear ecstacy
it is hard to believe that so much passion
could be in such A simple action
when your gone your presence I miss
so I think of  the first kiss

Hey I like that! That is really neat.  I am also a poet and have a
collection of poems I have written over the years.  Let me see if I can
find one to send you.  This one is one I hope you will like.
                    A Rainbow of Love
The colors in the rainbow
are a joyful sight to see,
Red, green, orange and yellow,
in peaceful harmony.
Each colour, in it's own way,
shares a special thought with us;
They help to liven up our day,
be it on lamp post or bus.
Red can be for love or hate,
blood, or a valentines heart;
Yellow means to slow down and wait,
and green tells us to start.
Blue are some flowers in the spring,
and pink as in a rose;
Gold is in a wedding ring,
and white, is the ground covered with snow.
If the world were only black and white,
How depressing it would be;
to wander about both day and night
with nothing new to see.

Let me know what you think.

 A field of Paramedics. Is that the same as a gaggle of geese or suchlike?.
 Yeah - well I always think if you want some `juicy' life-saving tales - you
 should watch the ghoulish telly programs which are becoming so worryingly
 common on UK terrestrial television (999, Blues and Twos, Crimewatch, etc).
 I dunno if you have a similar glut of real-life-gore-fest extravaganzas in
 America - but it has the effect of `blunting' the fact that to be faced with
 these situations every day is not `glamorous' or `glorified' in any way -
 yet this is what is presented to yer average brain-dead viewer who gets some
 kind of morbid satisfaction out of seeing others in perilous or intense
 predicaments (with a "Thank gawd it ain't me" mentality).
 Oh!. I'm sorry - I got a bit carried away there. Y'see being `in the field'
 as you call it, I find that those who `say' they do - invariably are the
 kind who don't. Fact of life. Nevertheless - I ain't always on me high horse
 and can chat about me job in general terms - but enough about me - let's
 talk about you. What d'you think of me?. (:-) No - only joking. Actually,
 I'm a decrepit 40 years old -Scottish - live in England and am married
 with one child - but look - I'm *still* able to smile!. Amazing, eh?.
 The jugular?. Nah - upper limbs only. Roight - see ya ma'am!
