    It's too bad that you're going to have to watch concerts for free and render aid to half naked, drunken women. Hang in there man. We'll all be praying for you.

    I always had a prob w/ how much they pay you emt's, its not enough. You are responsible for providing the first care. Inwhich most cases is the life saving moments, 10 bucks an hour to me is just not enough! Congrats my man, and thank you for what you do.
