Krijack,


I'd need therapy if I had all that crap happen to me, that you went thru. Sorry about that. And I appreciate your support.

Now, as far as special treatment, I've fished with Goingfishin and you've pegged him wrong. I saw him bring his kid into the ER once. When I called over to him to tell him I had a room for his kid he said to me, "I hope your not cutting us ahead of these other sick people". We'll truth is, I asked a Doc that was not taking anymore patients 'cause his shift was almost over to take one more. It didn't displace anybody, and it took me 5 minutes to get IV's going and fluids in, which was the majority of treatment. I also know that if I needed help, regardless of how he is treated in the ER, he'd do whatever he could. It's impossible to provide care for the patients we deal with, without the cooperation of law enforcement.

And for the most part Thurston Co Sheriffs Dept will go farther out of their way for the general public then would ever be expected. They'll stick around to watch violent patients that they bring in for eval's. Not every LE dept does. And they get involved in some pretty dramatic rescues as well, alot of which don't make the news.
Lacey has some great officers as well, unfortunatly although I can picture their faces, I can't remember their names.

Considering that I'll rip into any LE department if I think they are screwing up big time, I'd hope that when I say a group of guys is doing a good job that it would mean something.
