The other day I was chatting with my trainee, and she mentioned that her boyfriend plays in a rock band.Â He had just called her and told her that he didn't get up untilÂ 2 that afternoon, because he had been playing music for most of the night.Â That started a discussion about the similarities between Rock Stars & Paramedics.

See?Â According to the chart, there's no difference.

Hell, even David Lee Roth decided to become a Paramedic.Â It didn't last long, and now he's back with Van Halen.Â Wonder why?Â Perhaps it's because of the missing part of the chart...
