He didn't have orders, patient consent, or medical justification. That is
what the Letter of Admonition is all about. The last time I talked to him
he told me that "I am a registered nurse, I have an associate's degree, you
can't question me, you don't know what I know". At the end he was screaming
so loud my other neighbor heard it. Then he went and told the Board of
Directors of the Ambulance Association that I was crazy, and not to listen
to me.

This was all OK with me. It was like pulling teeth, getting the Nursing
Board to write that letter, but in the end they did it. His buddies who
supported him, a county commissioner and a sheriff, have some pretty hard
questions to answer come next election. Now I have a new hobby, politics.

Hi Earle,
I overheard a couple ambulance attends while visiting my Mom at Tri
City Hospital, Oceanside, Kalifornia saying they wanted to practice a
heart start medicine, injected straight into the heart of an old lady
too senile to ever be able to tell, while she was being transported back
to her convalescent home. I bet they would have charged for that
service, too. Scare the heck, out of me! So I did nothing. :-( Just
planed to be with any family member, being transported!

Hi Earle,
I overheard a couple ambulance attends while visiting my Mom at Tri
City Hospital, Oceanside, Kalifornia saying they wanted to practice a
heart start medicine, injected straight into the heart of an old lady
too senile to ever be able to tell, while she was being transported back
to her convalescent home. I bet they would have charged for that
service, too. Scare the heck, out of me! So I did nothing. :-( Just
planed to be with any family member, being transported!

Hi Earle,
I overheard a couple ambulance attends while visiting my Mom at Tri
City Hospital, Oceanside, Kalifornia saying they wanted to practice a
heart start medicine, injected straight into the heart of an old lady
too senile to ever be able to tell, while she was being transported back
to her convalescent home. I bet they would have charged for that
service, too. Scare the heck, out of me! So I did nothing. :-( Just
planed to be with any family member, being transported!

Hi ----,
I've fired many smudge pots on my parents avocado ranch:
http://www.----------.com/temp/avocadoTrees.jpg And seen the ice sickles
made by the sprinklers also used to wash off the cold. But, I don't
think it's that cold any more.
