Sometimes you're full of shit and this is one of them. The guys who "fly themselves" are far FAR more likely to die in a plane crash than the planes flown by professional pilots. Check with the FAA and or NTSB if you want confirmation. WTF? How many doctors have you known that died from a misdiagnosis of their patient? He might get sued but he's still going home for dinner at the end of his shift. When a pilot fucks up...he's normally the first one to arrive at the scene of the crash.
Okay, as I am not a commercial I am in no position to argue. You however, have never had a code blue, but you seem to know so much about medicine. So the person full of shit is actually you. You have not saved a single life in your life. You are a driver, pure and simple.
Flying has no comparison to allied health, none at all. How many pilots make 60K or more in their first year??
RCG, my friend, my ca padre, I have no idea what you are trying to say or where you are going with this long anti-pilot rant. It's kind of out of character for you. I guess on the plus side you haven't called anyone a racist yet. But still, I don't even know how to debate this as I have no idea what you are trying to say.
And yet you keep trying to. Nope but then we call our emergencies...well...emergencies. And the life we're trying to save, in addition to the passengers, is our own. I know a number of nurses, which is all I've claimed to know. What's wrong RCG; your doctor dress you down for fucking up today? LOL Are you fucking kidding me? By Obama's standard I saves lives every time I don't crash a plane. Yes absolutely, a driver of complex very expensive potentially deadly equipment. Surely you'll admit driving a plane is more complicated than say ...pushing a patient in a wheelchair.
Like I said before, we had a first year nurse leave us for a job paying 33/hr. Others have told you as well that allied health pros are paid very well. You might wanna update ur stats.
Is a "code blue" nurse code for having to clean out someones bedpan after they drop a fresh steaming turd in it?
