Ah Ted, from a current fed to a retired fed that was the thought that crossed my mind, too. However, at Carlsbad (I worked there for 2 seasons) they can compel personnel to go get checked out, but they can't compel visitors. As a matter of fact, we could not even call an ambulance unless the visitor okayed it (and they had to pay for it). A lot of us were EMTs (me included) and could determine the need and could even carry peeps out of the cave. I once sat with a woman in the infirmary who was 8-1/2 months pregnant while her husband and kids toured the cave. After looking at her I did recommend the short tour starting at the Lunchroom and a quick trip to the emergency room in Carlsbad as they were leaving. Of course, it was 100+ degrees. That was my experience. Louise
