Default Basic Safety Gear-You can't do better!

What's a good but inexpensive portable GPS that includes an anchor alarm?

sure she can verify that for you. Rob is correct that many MD's are
not as capable in emergency situations as many nurses.



So that would be like "Capt Rob" learning from a real cabin boy..right?


That doesn't

make them incompetent as Doctors. They just have different strengths
or areas of expertise. Some plumbers may also have carpentry skills,
and some anesthesiologists may have skills in orthopedics. Critical
care and emergency room nurses tend to be generalists, and are used to
making very quick and correct decisions on life and death matters
under pressure.



Indeed they do...not a job I'd wan't to deal with. Pays pretty good.
High burnout average and turnover. I bet it's high stress if you have
passion towards the people you are treating. Top that off with the
million plus people killed in Hospitals from medical mistakes a career
wrought with stress.

IMO Rob should publish that best seller, or direct a block buster and
provide Suzy with a less stressfull life.
