My son is finishing his Senior undergraduate year at school. He has a 4.0 in Bio Med. He works 16 hours a week volunteering at local ambulance corp to gain medical experience (and has for the last 3.5 years.)for medical school admittance. He has been accepted into a MD/PHD program will will take 8 years to complete. So at age 30 he has residency and internship requirements to complete.
He has been doing cancer research for the past two summers and lost his first academic adviser to cancer. She was 41.
To work on the ambulance he had to attend training for basic life support (nights 3x week; fours a night) and pass a certification exam. His BLS accreditation tuition was waived if he passed the exam. The ambulance company then had to supervise and sign off on his training in I believe 16 different areas of expertise. He then could respond as medic for non critical transport.
The ambulance company has to cover the vehicle, insurance, fuel and whatever else and pay for the non volunteer staff. If they are "lucky" they can make three calls a night; they have to stay at the emergency room until their patient is take by the ER staff; then finish the paper documentation.
He works the fourth of July fireworks displays. If you get treated for a cut that requires a dressing, the charge is $6-700! He works the major holidays so married folks can get the time off. That is also the busiest because of drinking/driving and coronaries.
He carries a medic bag with him in his car so he can respond immediately to auto injuries and campus incidents.
I would not knock the cost of medical service too hard until you see the sacrifice some give.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
