    65yrs Female, Syncope & SOB

    OK, I am going to throw a thought out there, Really wish I could see the ecg strip. But what you described is a possible LBB. Inverted T waves indicates ichemia. That would explain the soboe and sudden syncopal episode. But that is about as far as I have gotten in figuring this out.

    Great, thanks for the info. I have spent a lot of time looking because my instructor encouraged me to do a research paper on it. Or atleast a report. Info has been really sparse if any. Is the policy on a web site? If so, could you send me the link so I can add it to my pile of data?

    Elderly Male sudden collapse/LOC

    First of all, welcome to the forum. And now about the incident. I think you did great. Without the medics assessment findings, it is impossible to make a yay or nay about the pts condition.

    Passed practicals - waiting to take written

    Are you asking about testing for basic? Think mine took a week or two. My teacher set the class up to take the test so I don't really remember all that clearly. Congrats on passing the practicals. Good luck on the written.
