@pnjaban None of the above:
Field-trained former military paramedic.
I don't want anyone not trained specifically in emergency medicine anywhere near; and none of those civilian trained E.R. either, cause they're trained in CYA first, and I want someone who's serious about saving my life

@pnjaban When my Dad suffered acute hemechromatosis at ~34,
for which the ONLY treatment is *bleeding*,
and the only options "a whole lot" and "a whole lot more",
the attending physician was too embarrassed to prescribe the correct treatment.

@pnjaban The nurse (Irish of course, because they understand hemechromatosis) told me Mom:
Mrs. Geerkens:
Your husband will die tonight
unless we remove him from this hospital immediately.
I'll help.
The nurse lost her job;
but my Dad lived another 45 years.

@pnjaban I want someone attending, in an emergency, who will save my life first and worry about career consequences later.
P.S.
My Dad died on his 80th birthday because, once again,
his attending physician was *too embarrassed* to prescribe a phlebotomy.
