Has it been three years already? Time to update my introduction. I'm still Phlegm. Two years ago I quit the tech world, or rather it quit me. Now I spend my time trying to help people. I'm an #EMT, #wildland#firefighter, and #roperescue tech. I still spend most of my time in, on and around the #SalishSea.
Read the story of "D' and weep. An #EMT who doesn't have health #insurance who nevertheless is so committed to helping others in emergency health situations that he sticks with it. As Nathan Robinson says, "So don’t tell me this is a “good economy.” Don’t tell me this is a functional country. A system that treats D this way is totally dysfunctional."
