Well as of today I am nationally registered. I did pass. Somehow. My director has started working on state stuff to get me on the schedule as an EMTnext week. UUsually only takes a few days to get licensed in Iowa. .. so I did it!
I'd run toward the first blast, for the simple reason that for maximum damage, a second device is unlikely to be placed in close proximity to the first.
I haven't been in the situation so I can't say. I would hope that I would do the RIGHT thing (right for myself, right for my family, and right for my patients), but I haven't been there yet so I can't say. Like everybody else, I'm just as susceptible to making the emotional, WRONG decision myself...
