Dear Rescue Ranger

Dear Rescue Ranger, Have you lost your mind? I heard you retired. Is that true?

Concerned for the future of Virginia EMS

Dear Gary B.

Still a certified EMT Instructor and provider. Just kind of slowed down a little—not fully retired so don’t worry. My expert advice will server; Return your shopping cart; Pick up a piece of trash; Hold the door for the person behind you; Let someone into your lane...These small acts of kindness have a ripple effect That’s how we change the world!

Dear Rescue Ranger, There are so many things to me that just does not make sense. Like:

• If a #2 pencil is so popular, why is it still #2?

• Why do we press harder on the remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?

• Why are you “in” a movie but “on” TV?

• What was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread?

• Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

• Why do “fat chance” and “slim chance” mean the same thing?

• Why do British people never sound British when they sing?

At a movie theater, which arm rest is yours?

When does it stop being partly cloudy and start being partly sunny?

When French people swear do they say, Heads Up” when you I got more questions than I have answers!!!

I lifted up my shirt to show off my abs and a s that.

Also, I told my wife I saw a deer on the way to how do you know he was

I see your are still teaching EMT classes. How

Well, I thought we were making good progress n teaching assessment and documentation skills, Here are a few examples I found when reviewing some of the students reports:

• Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.

• Skin: somewhat pale, but present.

• Patient has two teenage children, but no other abnormalities.

• The patient was in good health until his airplane ran out of fuel and crashed.

• The patient has no previous history of suicides.

• She is numb from her toes down.

• She stated that she had been constipated for most of her life until she got a divorce.
