1. How does YOUR hospital waste its money?

   bigjim replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Every country has done this. It doesn't make it more right or wrong that we did it here too, but other than the original indigenous settlers for any particular area everyone is living on conquered ground. To suggest moving the entire world's populat...

   I would prefer they were sent back where they came from. Essentially all of the countries from which illegal aliens originate have universal health care. If it's so great, why don't they get it fixed there?

4. The Trauma after the Trauma

   bigjim replied to ScrappyED's topic in General Nursing

   I once had a medical textbook that said, "You will be present when a lot of people are born, and when a lot of people die. Every one of these times is an honor". At first, I kind of dismissed it as overly maudlin or cheesy. But now I realize it's ...

5. The Trauma after the Trauma

   bigjim replied to ScrappyED's topic in General Nursing

   You told that story beautifully. I'm still new in emergency medicine and losing a patient is not something I'm used to just yet. I just had an EMS shift where a woman went to bed with her husband and woke up next to his dead body. She called 911 a...

   What in the name of Joe Pesci does that have to do with anything? They work cheap. Good for them. You know what would be even better? If they worked back where they belong. And if every employer who knowingly hired them and every do-gooder who hel...

   bigjim replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

   No, they are ILLEGAL ALIENS, and they are CRIMINAL INVADERS. They are also the final nail in the coffin for a lot of Western and Southwestern health care systems (how many hospitals and ERs have closed in the last few years?). If you like them so muc...

9. i sign your paycheck !!

   bigjim replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

   I have noticed those who say that are often either on Welfare, and completely ungrateful for the charity they are getting, or they are uninsured and likely will never pay a dime.

10. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    bigjim replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say it's just straight guys. My partner on the ambulance is as gay as a maypole, and he's quite the fan too.

    bigjim replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let these Negative Nancys get you down. If you don't want to wear a bra, don't wear one. It's your body!!! Freedom!!!! Sisterhood!!!! Also, you should jump up and down as much as possible.

    bigjim replied to leviathann's topic in Men

    I don't know what your color/style requirements are, but I'm a 15EEEE and I live in my EMS boots. They are so comfortable I have three pair, and I wear them pretty much any time I am wearing pants, with the exception of dressy occasions. http://www...

14. Have you helped/saved anyone while off duty?

    bigjim replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    Many Good Samaritan laws have less protection for licensed personnel. To quote my old Karate teacher (although he was talking about defending yourself) "We do what we have to do, but we don't necessarily stand around and hand out business cards aft...

    Didn't realize it was your site for a minute there. Kudos to you sir, you are a musical genius (if not a vocal virtuoso).
