    PulseOx for BLS, I need reasons!

    I've got to disagree with ya on that. Its crucial to be able to monitor your pts O2 levels, its one of the few things that we B's can fix (or at least attempt to fix). Just a quick example off the top of my head... You get called for an unknown medical, find a pt that is conscious but...

    HA!!! Ok, seriously though... I try to follow some sort of "diet" if you will. I loosly use the "ABS diet" Its basicaly just a healthy balanced meal plan, it breaks it down and makes it easy though. As for excercise - I hate it. Everyone always talks about how great they feel after a...
