I forgot about this thread. I retired from the fire service earlier this year and my medical license is due to expire at the end of the year. I’ll still help whenever I can, just not with the piles of liability potentially attached to it.
I’d just like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone still responding no matter the time or the day. You are very much appreciated. My name can officially be taken off the list.
