Hey, medic here. Take this in the spirit in which it's intended. I was a medic on an ambulance for a little over a decade. I always felt that nothing that I saw affected me, and so I denied it whenever someone asked. Thing is, all that stuff that I saw went somewhere, even though I figured that I had just dealt with it in a healthy manner. Thing was, that stuff was accumulating and it ended up manifesting in some bad ways. Does that happen to everyone? Probably not, but it does happen to most. I guess what I'm saying is to check in with yourself every so often and try to see if you are having certain issues because of all of this crap that you're dealing with. Clearly, you're not cleaning stuff up several times a day, 5 days a week, but man... You're dealing with some really gnarly stuff. Stay healthy, and good luck. It's important work that you're doing.

How long did it take you to adapt to your new way of life? Have you adapted yet? Two years isn't so long. Did you go through depression afterwards? If so, how bad was it? Are you still going through that if you did? Anyways, I wish you the best. This must be one of the toughest things in the world.

This reply comes three months late to the party, as I just saw Snowpiercer for the first time last night and fell in love with it, but just wanted to also say that, "A Tale of Two Sisters" is incredible. Nobody will read this post, but you know, whatever.

You are strong, and I'm sure you'll just get stronger. Off topic: So I read the article and you were in Burbank. You live around there? They have the best Bob's Big Boy in the world. I know it's weird, but I'm a huge fan. I'm originally from San Diego and Bob's were everywhere. I live in San Francisco, and there aren't ANY. Not even a few hours away. I go there every time I'm in the area. Take care!

I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is a saliva test. It can give you results in about 5 minutes and it will test positive if you've smoked/ingested weed in the last 6-12 hours or so. It's only pass/fail.
