At one point during our lunch the famous Sonny Bono asked, "So in other words, we've reached a point where a rescuer can't say 'screw the rules' and just do the right thing?" Not in other words, Sonny. Those are the perfect words. Immutable Law #2 Saving lives is not our priority. Following our policies is our priority. Protecting ourselves comes next. Avoiding lawsuits comes third. You come somewhere after that. * * * I was not even out of school before I witnessed my first doctor commit murder. It would not be my last - Lord, no - but I can recall that night as vividly as though it happened last week. Few medics forget their first physician homicide. * * * The ugly truth is some of the most macho medics on the planet turn into complete lollipops in the presence of an arrogant, incompetent physician. No matter how you parse it, that is professional cowardice. * * * K. Patrick McDonald is a graduate of UCSD La Jolla School of Medicine original Advanced Field Medicine program. He was appointed the first EMS Supervisor for the City of San Diego under Mayor (and then Governor) Pete Wilson's administration. He created one of the nation's first STAR (Special Trauma & Rescue) Teams and co-authored the San Diego City Disaster Preparedness Plan. He was a co-author of the National Waterpark Lifeguard Training Manual. He has acted as consultant to the U.S. Secret Service in Presidential Protection matters. He writes, "After 30 years of occasionally saving lives, I learned that by writing and speaking, I can do more good for more citizens, while tolerating far fewer medical-political snollygosters."

The DMV Permit Test "How to Pass on Your First Try!" Updated for the 2017 test! Over 200 practice test questions! A must-have for anyone who would like to pass on their first try. We show you what to study and how to beat the test. The thought of getting your driver's license can be a little bit intimidating, but with a few simple guidelines and test taking strategies, you'll be well on the road to success. Did you know that 70 percent of first-time test takers fail the DMV permit test? Our practice tests have over 200 test questions and are an excellent way to prepare you for the actual written test. Since the book has visual diagrams that go along with the questions, it is geared towards students who are visual learners. The book is split into two sections: The Traffic Signs Test (visual signs included) and The Road Way Test. Each test contains questions that are very similar to the actual test questions. By preparing, using these supplemental practice questions, as opposed to reading and rereading the DMV driver handbook which is very time consuming and can be a waste of time, you will learn basic driving skills, road sign and traffic signal meanings, when to pull over for emergency vehicles, speed limits in various zones, how to handle accidents, and much more. You will also learn how to answer the trick questions which appear time and time again on the test! Also included in the book are valuable test taking strategies, safe driving tips, and safe driver checklists. Passing the first time will save you money, time, and the stress of having to study again. It will also give you confidence and prepare you for the road driving test. With a little preparation and concentration, you can master the rules of the road and navigate your next driver's license test with confidence.

Driving is a privilege and not a right. Drivers must drive responsibly and safely, obey traffic laws, and never drink and drive. Finally, make sure that you and your passengers are properly buckled up - it's the law! Today's vehicles are loaded with technology that was unheard of even a decade ago. Systems that warn when you are drifting from your lane, assist you in parallel parking, automatically brake in emergency situations and provide 360 degrees of vision around the vehicle via a camera are becoming standard, even on moderately priced vehicles. As remarkable as these leaps in automotive technology are, the truth is that the most important safety feature in any vehicle remains you as the driver. Therefore, it is to your benefit to continue improving and expanding your knowledge of traffic laws and safe driving practices. Driving is a privilege. Once you have been issued a driver's license, you have the responsibility to continually demonstrate the skill and knowledge to drive safely. Whether you have been behind the wheel for decades or are just starting to venture out, driving is a discipline that requires judgment, knowledge, physical and mental self-awareness, and practice. "What Every Driver Must Know" is an excellent resource for assisting you on this lifelong journey.
