Do you realize…we get no respect?
19 May 2009The regional coordinating EMS authority covering Pittsburgh decided to put together a little campaign to boost EMS awareness among the general population. It consists of posters and a website, dourealize.com. (The more grammatically correct doyourealize.com is already taken.) The posters and website ask the same questions; I will do whoever put these together a favor by ignoring the odd (if not outright wrong) grammatical construction of such questions as “Do you realize the name of your local ambulance service?” I will try to also not take too much note of the fact that “in the calendar year 2007 in Pennsylvania” is a sentence beginning that requires all of the sentence completions to be in the past tense, but only one is, and that you actually can no longer say “thank you” in 2007.
No, I’m going to take issue with the link to the EMS Week Myspace page, which as of this moment prominently features a tribute…to nurses.
…he can’t be a man because, he doesn’t smoke the same cigarettes as me…hey hey hey…
