Docs and guns

Khornet · February 8, 2002, 11:51 AM

I'm seeing lots of comments from Docs or about medical matters and guns.............great. How many Docs, nurses, EMTs, etc. do we have at TFL? Who are you?

Khornet...........gastroenterologist. Watch your six .

Well, I'm a graphic designer, but my best shootin' bud passes gas...

Greg L · February 8, 2002, 12:45 PM

Yeah but Bogie that is more due to eating habits than education.

I'm good with white hot cauterizing irons to stop the bleeding, and boiling pitch to cover the stump.

Paramedic here. Started off as a Volunteer fireman 10 years ago, just sort of went downhill from there. What was I thinking???

KSFreeman · February 8, 2002, 05:38 PM

I'm a doctor, but they don't give my kind the keys to the candy store.

Several of my bestest shooting buddies are docs (4 gynos for some reason, an ER doc, an optho and plastic surg). This includes [warning name drop] noted SWAT author Dr. Peter Stevenson, OB/GYN, of Detroit Rock City. My gyno's so tactical he wears a black lab coat.

Nanaimo Barr · February 8, 2002, 06:01 PM

my Doc shoots black powder, does that count?

Alnamvet · February 8, 2002, 06:02 PM

Mobile Intensive Care Nurse, Flight Nurse, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner...I wonder if there is anything else???

Khornet · February 8, 2002, 06:48 PM

Ok,only one nurse. We can do better than this.

Any psychiatrists? Dentists? Midwives? Acupuncturists?

Any armed women medical types?

Wingshooter · February 8, 2002, 06:49 PM

Alnamvet,

I don't see to many other people in the Peds world. Nice to meet you. Will you be going to the AAMS conference this year, or do you ever attend? If so maybe I'll run into you there if I go this year... don't know how exciting Kansas City is though.

Alnamvet · February 8, 2002, 07:00 PM

...never been to a meeting...I understand they are headquartered here in VA; in fact, I don't go to any meetings anymore....it's all I can do to remember to recert ACLS, PALS, NALS, PHTLS...gosh, I feel like every 6 months, there's something else about to expire, not to mention 6 licenses in 6 states, each with a different renewal date. Anyway, how's the pre-hospital biz in Texas?

Wingshooter · February 8, 2002, 07:16 PM

Business is good. Very busy as well. Although technically I'm not pre hospital. I'm part of a hospital based program. Know what you mean about the certs though. Gotta redo ACLS this month (probably the most useless class you can take if you specialize in Peds). That's the good thing about AAMS though, maybe you learn, maybe you don't... who cares, freebies abound and the liquor flows like water.

Take care...

SAWBONES · February 8, 2002, 10:47 PM

I'm another MD, shooting for 16 years, and I have a number of medical associates who are shooters.

There are LOTS of docs who are pro-gun. Best.

Been seeing quite a few RNs in my pistol classes lately....

Hope it continues.
