1. Terrorism - It crosses my mind once in awhile. Usually after a heavy day at work and the news is blurting something about terrorist attack somewhere. Makes me a bit edgy because the way EMS/ER's are these days, a lot of injured people will be screwed if its bad enough.

2. AIDS/HIV - Only when I have a patient with the disease. Need to be extra careful then.

3. Cancer - Occasionally at work. Seeing reactions when people get that news the first time is tough.

4. Other health threat - Only one I think about all the time is Alzheimer's. Nothing scares the shit out of me more than losing myself and being physically healthy.
