Don't they add additional fluid in the lab sometimes for preservation purposes? Someone once told me that but I don't know for sure. I think they also add a perservative chemical.

Strange isn't it. We are permitted to tackle someone trying to jump off a bridge but we are not permitted to pull the cigarette out of a patients mouth. To me the two things are the same thing, SUICIDE, one slow and the other quick.

I think it is terrible that people jumped to conclusions before checking all their facts. I feel bad for you. Prospective employers would be wise enough to check the license number I would hope.
