Seriously.
NO offense but I hope I never need to be rushed to the hospital when you're on duty. I would rather have a someone thouroughly check me out than have someone that has a sixth sense for telling how sick someone is.
I hope you take a more proffesional approach to your work because you have the lives of people on your hands.
