When I was a young US Army Paratrooper, we used to joke about how we would someday pay for our rough and tumble lifestyle we were living. Jumping out of airplanes, working our backs and knees with combat load ruck sacks, obstacle...

I've done many of the jobs that people consider those of us who do them "heroes". Yet most of us who are considered such things either shrug off the title, or even make fun of it.

Back in Paramedic school we had a joke...
"If the patient's EKG shows a rhythm I can't recognize, I'll shock him until he shows a rhythm I can treat."
Of course, people would be shocked, and demand prosecution of any medic...

I'm not a big believer in the whole concept of requiring that administrators have experience in the market they are administrating. A good administrator is one who can jump from (say) the auto industry to medical to mining and...

I thought if any of my friends in...

I went to Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho (now BYU-Idaho). It's a private church run school smack dab in the middle of potato country. I graduated class of 1999.
I was a paramedic major. We spent our days and nights learning...

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the...

I wasn't a combat soldier when I served as a parachute rigger. In fact, anyone who died at my hand would have been a fellow U.S. Paratrooper. Yet, just knowing what I knew about parachutes and Army procedures taught me how to use...
