Have you witnessed any accident or emergency?

Thank you for sharing. I guess knowledge even on basic first aid procedures would come in handy anytime. I think you will agree with me that accident may happen anytime and anywhere. Well, being an EMT is a very rewarding career. Best to you and goodluck!

I think there are times that no matter what we do, we cannot control the whole situaion. What is important is we give it our best. I'm sure that as long as we give it our best we will always be able to cope up with whatever we do or whatever we feel. Best to you!

Well, Grandpa Bob, I know that what you did was ordinary for you and sort of a natural thing to do when someone is in trouble. But I am very sure that for sure you have done a great deal of heroism! Saving a persons life is something that we should be proud of and it is something no money can buy! Best to you!

My younger brother has had two people die directly from not wearing seatbelts and I have told him straight-up I can't feel anything for them... I can feel his loss for losing a friend but that should teach him not to do anything stupid (like racing at 110mph without any seatbelt on get thrown over 100 feet out of the car and expect to live). I don't mean to sound cold but there are ways for us to protect ourselves and if we don't utilize them and then we get injured or die... I can't accept that. Thanks Zelo

I agree with that but I don't think that is EVER going to happen. I see NASCAR drivers going over 200MPH and Top Fuel Dragsters going over 300MPH and have horrific crashes and the driver walks away. Why? Because of the safety equipment involved. Now to I advocate doing 100MPH down the road, no. But I do say that we should do everything possible (including keeping withing the speed limit and obeying signs and not tailgating) to keep ourselves as safe as possible. Another plus... By slowing down to ~45-50MPH you are getting the most bang for your buck when it comes to fuel consumption. [i]As for my car: 45MPH - 32MPG 50MPH - 31MPG 55MPH - 30MPG 60MPH - 29MPG 65MPH - 28MPG 70MPH - 27+MPG 75MPH - 26MPH[/i] So slowing from 75 to 55MPH is a savings of 4MPG... quite significant! I use my cruise control a LOT more now to make sure I keep at a constant speed to increase fuel efficency to the max... of course that is getting off subject but slow down... safe fuel. Thanks Zelo

You are right zelo. Seatbelts play an important role in road safety. You can never tell that an accident may happen and when a person is not wearing any seatbelt, a lot of possibilities could happen which may lead to external and internal injuries. Do take care and best to you!
