And I wouldn't want someone with a tattoo work on me like I've seen in the Boston photos. Anyone who has no regard for a part(s) of their body or has a tattoo of a dragon or barbwire won't work on me, that's for sure. I'd rather bleed and pray and wait for a certified paramedic.

I know MDs, trauma nurses, emts, and all kinds of professional care givers who have tattoos, piercings, you name it---that is a cultural/personal choice and thank goodness we have gotten over discriminating against them in the professional world.... As a psych. nurse, I have known the kind of people you talk of, and they are FEW and far between---some of them also, thank goodness, actually do have skills that are useful in an emergency. Fight them off if you wish, and run the other way if they need you. That is your choice.
