Okay, today I have Chris Jenkins with me who is a friend from high school. It's been a long time,

Chris since I've seen you. So say hi to my audience and Chris you are a nurse and you work for the Salt Lake

Fire Department. Tell me a little bit more too about who you are and what you've been up to since I saw you in probably 2003 was the last time.

Yeah, yeah, so I about 10 years ago really followed what I've wanted to do since high school and that was become a firefighter.

And in that I became a paramedic which started my love for the medical field.

So shortly after which started my love for the medical field.

So shortly after getting my paramedic

and working for Ogden City Fire Department,

I went to nursing school, became a cath lab nurse,

so heart procedures, kind of that stuff, but also worked in the ER

just because it kind of worked with the paramedic thing and I had a lot of good connections there

and just continued my education.

And so I've, yeah, I work the two days on, four days off at the fire department and on my days off I go to the hospital

and work at least two of those.

So.

Wow, very cool.

I have to tell you that my daughter in the fall

had, she had to have an emergency appendectomy, and there was a nurse named Greg, and Greg turned

into her favorite person in the world, because he made it so that she wasn't afraid of getting

her IV. He made it. He just like made the whole

experience so much easier for her and she still talks about him. So those the ER nurses have a special place in my heart for just from that experience alone.

Yeah, so you guys really do such great work and then I'm sure too with the Salt Lake Fire Department. You're in the Salt Lake Fire Department now, right?
