Sanity is madness put to good use. – George Santayana
Check this out….
I nearly fell off of my chair when I saw this picture in one of my old nursing school years books from 1929. Look closely. This picture was used in an ad for an ambulance/funeral home owned by the McAllister family. I wonder if the driver of this multi-purpose vehicle is any relation to Nurse Kim from Emergiblog. Somehow I think that regulators would go crazy over something like this today. They would find the whole thing rather fishy.
Speaking of fishing things, Keith from Digital Doorway is hosting this week’s edition of Change of Shift. His theme is about how we are all living in a fishbowl. He talks about Twitter, Facebook, and all of my other Internet additions. Great job, Keith!

In a town near here, in the boonies of northern New England is a funeral home that also runs an ambulance service, complete with paramedics. “What? The code didn’t go well? Well, we’ll just take ‘em back to the office.”
