Medic for a day

We had an early morning phone call from Seth. I don't know if it's related to Eli's absence or not, but on Seth's last mission he filled in as the medic. They are short on medics and since Seth is an EMT he was pressed into service. What Seth learned is that Eli has the easiest job in the world. Instead of driving, Seth sat in the jump seat in the back, napping, reading and generally enjoying the trip. I guess it's a great job unless you're called upon to do your job.
I was watching an episode of "Mash" last night and the story could have been about the war in Iraq. Hawkeye was incensed to find that doctors at home were taking advantage of the war to earn exorbitant fees. They were reading x-rays for the army and charging $5 per x-ray. Some of the doctors were earning as much as $2000 a month reading x-rays. Hawkeye was furious that some people were profiting from the war.....Imagine how he would feel about the Iraq war. Some things never change!
