Congrats! What a beautiful baby girl.

Wait just one minute! I got into this to be an ambulance driver...now you tell me they're not going to hire me to be a driver...OH NO!!!! I'm pretty sure we're all "ambulance drivers" :P

My jump bag in my POV is basically a glorified First Aid kit.

My first thought was...WHAT THE HELL was a Basic dropping an IV? (just because its on the rig)

...I'm wondering about this one. We discussed this last night in class and we were told that as long as there were no identifiable marks on the body, or landmarks, that pictures for ed/training were okay, but otherwise, may be an issue. ie: A guy with a red beard and Dianne Summers tattoo on his...
