That's fair. I had no idea calling flight nurses "first responders" would set off such a **** storm. I meant it as a term of respect, and I said it because my own wife used to be a flight nurse and was literally classified as a "first responder" as such. Whether they were first responders or not, I'm grateful they chose the career they did, as I'm grateful for all healthcare professionals and the often dirty, dangerous, unappreciated work they do so that others may live.
