Pin, you can look as mean as you want, but you're a soft hearted soul. How do you get the beeswax out of your hair? I am so jealous of that hair. Dang…. If I could have black hair my life would be complete. Or I'd go red head in a nano if I had the coloring for it. (I'm more olive)
D'aww. :oops: I'm a natural brown. This time I hit it with some Garnier flat black, washed, and then used some Rockabilly Blue (Tish and Snooky's) after. Get's it real-real-dark blue. Looks cool in the sun. Wax washes right out in hot water. I used to be way more hard core like 10 years ago. Elmer's glue and egg whites can keep your hair up for a whole week. :shock:

If you're looking for a good red - def go with Professional Clariol Blazin' Intense Red or Red Hot. I would do a base color of red or red-violet first. Don't go yellow or orange or you're gonna end up looking like your moms had an affair with Ronald McDonald. Yukyuk. :lol:

OOOH, the BLUE is a cool touch indeed. I meant more like a natural red head like this: (though hers isn't her natural color I know)







Not this: (I'm too old for this look anyway)

I'm an Emergency Technician in an ER. I do a little bit of everything, I cleaning and stocking to nursing care and phlebotomy. I'm the guy you see the most when you're in the ER, mostly running around doing ten things at once ;-)
How do you stay calm? People are at their worst in hospitals, much less in the ER. Tell us a story about your most unruly patient…..

I'm a very grounded person. It takes a special personality to do the work we do. Do you know any firefighters, EMTs, or Paramedics? RNs or Doctors?

Today me and my nurse had to fight with a patient for about thirty minutes while we waited for meds to kick in. Not fist fighting, just struggling to keep them from hurting themselves or us... I got spit on, kicked at, and of course a creative concoction of curses to go along with it. Just another day on the job, lol

I get physically assaulted on at least a weekly basis at work.

As far as unruly patient, there was this one guy who wouldn't stop masturbating until we literally tied him to the bed. His erection lasted until he fell asleep! Hahaha that was crazy. And they assigned me to stay with him until he moved out of the ER...

A very close family member is considering studying to be either a nurse or an imaging tech, something like that. The math requirement is scaring them though. That or a vet tech. I think there is a better living to be made in the med field though right? This person is very matter of fact about dressing wounds, and blood, etc.

Math is the universal language ;-)

There will always be a living to be made in medicine because there will always be people to be cared for.

That and the outrageous medical costs in this country.

That's what I told them. If our economy goes completely south, people will opt out of vet bills over healthcare bills. Also, the largest segment of our population (boomers) are aging so there will be more people needing medical care right? Sadly our family didn't inherit ANY kind of math gene. It's a struggle throughout generations.

Many people already don't pay and use the ER as a primary care doctor, further exacerbating the issue at hand.

Did you know that the ER co-pay is waived if you were referred there by your physician? At least mine is...

toward the end of my career, I had become abrasive and calloused .....give me crap and opps, let me try another vein. and if I was pissed off with the hurst tool......don't worry about a body shop, your rides going to the scrap heap. sure was time for me to retire. I hope you don't come to this fungus, thanks for what you do sir

Guess what? ER abuse is way way up with ACA. Weird, huh?
