Guest guest Posted December 9, 1999 Report Share Posted December 9, 1999 Dr. Bledsoe I hopthese comments don't cause you to quit posting messages. I find your info.valuable and helpful. I have been in FIRE & EMS for quite some time and have learned that Battles and fights or remarks by sensitive people have to be evaluated carefully before vocalized. Let's all remember the importance of professional respect and honor. Remember what to take seriously when you hear or see something ie. humor! Dr. Bledsoe keep up the good work and continue to communicate with us in the field. Respectfully & professionally, Aquaman Medic & Q2 EMTP/FF mike wrote: > DR.
