   Come on Jay - anyone who doesn't know what EMT stands for is living in an 
area where there arn't any.  And only butchers wear white coats anymore.  
(EMT's work out of mobile ambulances and are not hospital personnel as you seem 
to think.  I've never seen an EMT wear a white coat and I used to be the 
photographer for 3 township's police and fire dept and answered my share of 
emergency calls.
