I am an Emergency Medicine physician. Quite a long time ago, maybe a decade or so, we had a patient arrive in the ED who was beaten pretty bad and left for dead in a drainage ditch. It was a cool North Florida night, so her core body temperature dropped. We resuscitated her for several hours ("they're not dead until they're warm and dead"). Had pulled out all sorts of stops on her. After being clinically dead for hours, we were able to get her back. After a few weeks in the ICU, she left the hospital physically and mentally intact.

She became known as the Ditch Lady, and I the Ditch Doctor. Evidently there's another DitchDoctor registered here, so I just added the 911.

Part of my last name (Google my uncle Roy Rogers birth name)

'Cause the that's the kinda guy I am

When I joined, I had a German Shorthair Pointer named Calli. She was a good little bird dog - hence Callibird

I was a pilot long ago.

My last name is Burton. First name Rob(ert). Middle initial W (for William, in case you care).

Cryptic, I know. I've been accused of being too subtle from time to time.

I am like Dewey Crowe from justified (Floridian who moved up to redneck country) sans white power tattoos.

My VFD #

Someone once called Claudia Shiffer, Claudia Shifferbrains for something she said. I thought it was funny and took the name.

Besides, if I post something stupid, it's ok he's Shifferbrains.

It's the kind of engineering degree I have.

I saw it on a shirt many years ago, while living in Napanee,IN. Which has a large population of Amish, and I thought it was funny.

I'm morally bankrupt and have a playroom.

I had a goal to make 1000 skydives before I turned 21. 1000 jumps gets your your gold wings award. My gold wings number is #3971.

I am a muzzle flash aficionado--I like my guns to create big noisy ones; I collect photos of them; and I rate movies by how many they have.

My avatar is a Smilie I created to suggest the effect of firing my favorite pistol--a L.A.R. Grizzly in .50 AE.

Wow! Roy Rogers (Leonard Slye) was your uncle...that is so cool. I really liked him...gave me many hours of fun growing up. Even watch reruns of his TV show with our grandkids now.

Yup. Kinda like that.

Coached my young sons' travel baseball teams....one was the Cobras the other son was the Thunder, but his number was 21.

Life long Denver Broncos fan.

I have no idea how to SCUBA dive, but after the Adam Sandler movie "Big Daddy" came out, people called me Scuba Steve, as my name IS Steve. That much is true. It was probably slightly more relevant 14 1/2 yrs ago when I first joined SF. Maybe I just look like this:

I carried the M60 and M240B in the Air Force. My first name is Gabriel, a USO girl said I was like a guardian angel when I was the pair of legs next to her when she was riding in the back seat of a Humvee with me in the turret. So I made that (guardianangel762) my email address...For those not in the know the M60 and M240 fire 7.62x51mm ammo.

So 12 years ago when I joined here it was kinda a no brainier.
