......And don't tell ME war stories bout the ER - "We ARE the G*damn shore patrol!". At LAC from '61-'75 the military saw 132,000 battle trauma casualties. In the same period we treated almost 200,000 trauma casualties and our war didn't end in 1975. Military MDs come to TRAIN at LAC.

Riding a motorcycle without a helmet is Nature's way of passing on your heart, kidneys, corneas and liver to people who will take care of them. I hope you carry your donor card at all times, although there's little call for mouth transplants. So you want scary and caves?? Then come along with our dive team to Vanuatu in December. In addition to diving the Coolidge, we are going in to the completely unexplored cave system which has connectors to the sea. Why unexplored? Ask the local, who was dragged in and left for dead on a ledge - by a huge saltwater crocodile. For three days he lay in complete darkness, surrounded by body parts, listening to the crocs crunch dinner around him. Finally he free dived and swam out, carried by the current and was saved by a fisherman. They lose 5-10 people like this a year. We are going in to this brackish water, poor viz due to the tropical rain runoff, to film the Ledge of Death and do body parts recovery. It may not be three thousand yards at 300', but then even your scooter can't outrun 19 feet and 2000lbs of angry reptile whose lunch you are stealing!
