I've met several excellent nurses but I've also seen more than a few kill patients because they were too lazy to use proper aseptic techniques or couldn't be bothered to double-check a drug and dosage that was written in the chart before they administered it, etc.

I actually saved the life of a hero once. This guy was an executive at a refinery that exploded. It wasn't his job but he ran into the fire several times, pulling people out until he couldn't use his hands anymore because they were burned so badly. At the burn center a nurse gave him too much morphine and he stopped breathing. I gave him an amp of Narcan and bagged him until he could breathe on his own.
metis I don't know how much of this personal experience of yours is real but I've only been here 2 months and already you seem to have a suspicious amount of degrees, trips and experiences that perfectly relate to the thread matter. Either you are the best storyteller ever or you live the lives of 3 qualified people

Metis is actually the result of an early cloning experiment and likes to claim the lives and experiences of all his clones as his own when in reality he just plays AoE.

I wish I had the imagination to make up stories because I'd have had a lot more money than I did for most of my life. Unfortunately, lacking the imagination, I had to experience lots of things if I was going to tell interesting stories. For example, here's a box of things I've collected over the years, education-wise. There are more boxes but this was all that would fit on the bed.

I'm afraid we've reached peak Metis
Are you sure? I think he still has one more evolution
do you also have a box of achievements? or just 10.000 esoc posts?

I must say the ridiculousness of this topic is by far your greatest accomplishment. There are not many people in the world that would so shamelessly claim they are a hero on an internetforum for a mostly dead game.
This thread is about those who put themselves at risk in order to help others lead better lives. Whether they are paid or not is moot, "Don't bind the mouths of the kine who tread the grain," and all that.
I'm not saying that I was a "hero" per se but I was a member of more than one service whose members are considered by many as such and have been thanked many times for my service. I just wanted to point out another group of people who also contribute greatly to others' comfort and safety but who are almost never thanked.
