@AlanaKinrich That's why as an EMT, we never stop working on a patient until a dr tells us to. I have seen several patients in my career that we thought were dead on scene, that drs were able to revive and eventually send home.

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: It was 153 years ago today, in 1873, that animosity between Texans and Maj. General Phillip Sheridan was greatly defused at an event at the Menger Hotel in San Antonio, when Sheridan apologized for an earlier 1866 statement in which, describing Texas, he said "If I owned Texas and Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell." This was published in newspapers and Texans took offense. Sheridan apologized this way: "Speaking so kindly of Texas ---- and I speak from my heart ----- probably I ought to explain a remark I once made about the Lone Star state. I had just returned to San Antonio from Chihuahua on some Mexican business when I received an order to proceed at once to New Orleans. I hired relays and coaches so that I had only to hitch on the wagon and go speedily to get the boat from Galveston. I rode night and day. It was in August and, need I say, a tad warm. I arrived covered with dust, my eyes and ears and throat filled with it. I went to a little hotel in that condition and had just gone up to the register when one of these newspaper men rushed up to me and said, "General, how do you like Texas?" I was mad and I said, 'If I owned Texas and all Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell.' Needless to say, that did not represent my true opinion of this magnificent state." Sheridan was given a standing ovation. Source for this tidbit: Curtis Kent Bishop, "This Day in Texas," 1948, a VERY obscure book. I may be the only person in existence to own a copy. Seen here: Maj. General Phillip Sheridan, standing second from left. There is another famous figure in this photo, even more famous than Sheridan. Without Googling it, can you name him and tell us which man he is?

Angela Davis is a scholar, activist, and unwavering advocate for justice. From prison reform to civil rights and LGBTQ+ rights, she continues to shape movements for equality and liberation. I’ll never forget seeing her at an event after her release when I was 14. Even then, I understood the gravity of her presence. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor her intellect, her leadership, and her lifelong commitment to freedom and justice for all.

Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename, Nicole Minet, was only 18-years-old when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration, and to slice the tires of all of the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups. She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, blowing up bridges and helping to create a German-free path to help the Allied forces retake France from the inside. She was never caught. Segouin was present at the liberation of Chartres on August 23, 1944, and then the liberation of Paris two days later. She was promoted to lieutenant and awarded several medals, including the Croix de Guerre. After the war, she studied medicine and became a pediatric nurse. She passed away at the age of 97 in 2023. Not all heroes wear capes.
