Not familiar with Oregon Trail card, but again, there are zero federal programs that provide funds to able bodied males, and there are none in washington that do either. Not familial with Oregon programs but doubt they do either. A quick search of the oregon DSH site revealed the cards are most likely for food stamps or benefits based on dependent children. Would you dney the children food because thei father is a dirt bag?

Can you explain why you would have so many instatces where it is necessary to go through a victim's pockets to see these cards you see so often. How many of these have you seen this way?[/quote]


As you may have read before, I'm a firefighter/EMT, I work 24 on, 48 off. When I'm not at my job, I'm running a small business that I own. There is a small volunteer fire dept next to my shop, I volunteer there when I can. Combined, I would say I attend an average of 3 calls a day. If a patient is Unconscious/unresponsive or uncooperative, then often times the police (if on scene) or my partner will open the patients wallet/check pockets to get basic information, ie. Name, dob, etc, it's not uncommon to see an Oregon trail card in the wallet/pocket as well. As for how often I see this, a conservative guess would be 1:10 patients.
