Default how many of us here are from the medical profession?
i have to ask as i have noticed that in alot of posts several refer to knowledge gained by being in the medical field ... my father is a retired doctor and my mother is a retired nurse ... my brother is a parametic and my step sister is a pharmacist ... myself ... i was 3 semesters away from a ba in psychology ... my real sister is the only one who choose not to go medical ... still she is is a "healping" career ... she's an elementary teacher ... 2nd grade .... anyway ... i am just curious ...

Not me personally, but between hubby and myself - lots of docs, nurses, and techs in family.

I was an RN for 40 years until I retired last year. DIL's mother is an RN as well, and her father is a doctor.

Respiratory therapist for 10 years but I'm no longer doing that. Moved "upward" in my career path.

Raising hand. Although I was just a few classes shy of my nursing degree, I worked for many years in the hospital doing stats, trends, quality reviews/management, etc. all because JCAHO wanted it. LOL You all know what I am talking about.

I was in the medical field for over 13 years as a lab tech. Jim having ms increased my knowledge. I left the medical field to pursue my degree in graphic arts but I am not a practicing artist anymore since Jim needed me at home. I dabble at the arts but not for money anymore.

I knew I should have went to nursing school. Jim's doctor tells everyone I am a nurse when he's admitted or whatever. He says I am a nurse without papers. Kind of like a purebred without papers. Haha!

Sandy,

Like money, it's just a piece of paper and ink.I took a different route. Some of my students were NI (Neuroliogically Impaired.) Now I am. I use stuff I once used with them.
