Speaking of these medical posts Jim .... good job. It's currently 2am in Edinburgh. As of 1am, I'd needed to dial the emergency services twice in my whole life. As of now, the number is four times....

Teresa @ #42: I don't remember the scenario number, but it involved flammable liquid and an AED. (Rumor has it that topical nitroglycerin cream can be fun too, but I've had trouble confirming that.)...
