"""Have you tried pumping the brakes (twice) to get the slider down like you were taught during AFF? Your story makes it sound as if you passively waited till you were at 2000ft."""" I agree. But regardless, he reached his hard deck without a good canopy and chopped appropriately IMO. Good job. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!"

Since the DZ has a big and well attended NY Eve party, I think you are out of luck. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

I was honored to know Bill. He always welcomed us when we visited Sebastian, and made it a point to jump with us. He made it a point to welcome us to the community when we moved here earlier this year. It was an honor to be on his last skydive yesterday in Sebastian. Blue skies Bill.

Yep - jumping there 4 or 5 days a week, heavy on weekends. I know Kara has had problems with her phone. Were you calling 509-838-JUMP?? I can get you her personal cell phone if you want. West Plains is a great little DZ, great vibe, nice folks, and with a Caravan most of the season. DZ phone # is 509-659-1500. Answered mostly on Fri-Sun. "We saved your gear.

We love Sebastian, and it is our second home DZ. We will be there March 4-18. There is a boogie March 6-8. Should be lots of loads, and the vibe in Sebastian is great. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

I would love to work at one. Lower stress, and real sick ones you just ship to the hospital based ER who can't refuse anything. However I would rather work at the urgent care in Puerto Rico that was mentioned by an earlier poster!! I am considering getting out of the rat race soon, and doing lower stress/acuity stuff, and maybe some locum work in cool spots like that. "We saved your gear.

We have 2 urgent cares within one block of my hospital, and many patients with insurance still come to the ER for minor problems. And of course, many without insurance come to the ER instead of the urgent cares, because we can't by law turn them away. (ER docs are the only citizens not covered by the emancipation proclamation - we are still forced to work for free by government regulation - oh I digress) Education about care alternatives may help, but for many, the ER is the path of least resistance. By the way, thank you for returning to the ER and thanking them for good service. That makes our day. We try to take good care of folks in a difficult environment. I worked my butt off last night to save the life of a young man losing his airway from a tonsilar abscess, then got crap from a patient with chronic back pain who was out of his hydrocodone because he had to wait. Retirement looms in the very near future. Ed "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Just my experience as a practicing ER Doc for 32 years. Yes - our volumes, and wait times have gone up. Many who now have "insurance" which is paying providers at Medicaid rates (pennies on the dollar) can not find a primary care provider that will take their "insurance" because their practices already have more Medicaid that doesn't even pay office expenses. Therefore the newly "insured" flock to the ER with problems that can mostly be handled in an office setting. This is not a political statement, just an observation by someone in the trenches.

Happy Birthday - I hope you give Mark a spanking for your birthday - he deserves it (probably) "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

In general, I think Days Inns are the consistently worse hotel chain out there. I will never stay at one again. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Tell squeak we said hi! It was good to meet him in Florida. How long will he be in the area?? "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Groundhog day is similar to President's day. When Obama steps outside and sees his shadow, there will be 6 more weeks of bullshit. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

I also met squeak in Sebastian in December. I agree, not a bad bloke for an Aussie Had a nice cholesterol laden dinner of ribs and beans with him at our condo. Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "
