    Not much difference....
    Both:
    Very cute, and cuddly, center of your world
    Fickle and fussy
    High maintenance cost... time and money.

    None of the above matters.......You love them anyway.

    I don't have a ton of medical experience but in biology today we learned how to suture and got to practice on bananas since the peel is similar to skin. I thought it was pretty cool!

    Trained as a Wilderness First Responder by SOLO, of New Hampshire since 2004. I've also just completed the American Red Cross - Wilderness First Aid Instructors Course. Even though I've retired from my wilderness guiding and most of the wilderness skills training I use to instruct, I still provide first aid training to outdoor leaders. First Aid and CPR training is a must for any outdoor adventurist or group leader.

    Rick that RN thing....Well clearly you have absolutely nothing to worry about. How is that working out for you.... I am confused.

    Thought that I had answered this already... Anyway: NREMT-P (Soon to expire), State Registered Paramedic, 12 years in the back of a rural ambulance, 4 years teaching Wilderness Medical Courses, 9 years of constant First Aid Certs before all of that... PADI Dive Master, Rescue Specialist, Tactical Medic, Wilderness First Responder Instructor, Swift Water Rescue, (Probably missed few things) and STILL learning!

    CPR, and I can draw your blood if I have to, but trained to test any body fluid you can produce, cough up or otherwise eject from the body. I can stomach anything, but sputum is by far the worst to prepare for testing ( don't ask me why, but it seems to be fairly universal amongst the tech's).
    Chemistry is my favorite followed by Hematology and Microbiology. Coagulation, Immunology Urinalysis and Blood banking are all cool. 1st day of Blood Bank, my trainer says "welcome to Blood Bank, where we don't fix our mistakes, we bury them". The one part of the lab where you literally can kill a person with one mistake. No pressure there.

    I'm sure she can, but they're a little backed up right now. Hold it for her for a few days while the backlog clears up.
