Interesting background. I did all of the old homecare product line. Also NE Rep. for Lifecare iron lungs, vents, chest shells, pneumobelts, rocking beds for polio cases.
I also worked for Walnut Creek homecare company, Vital Aire and ran the Boston, MA region.
Corpsmen can do anything!! So resourceful. When I was with the Marines on some island in the Med, I lacerated my finger and had to suture myself and had no lidocaine, but got the job done....... Corpsmen should start their own company
