No, I'm pretty sure he asked what "CV collecting" was. When he asked, he highlighted his own answer...just wanted to point that out... Clever edit DE... I still know what you originally wrote though! :)

You literally highlighted the answer to your own question.

There is currently no evidence that antipyretics prevent febrile seizure. In fact, even though the exact cause is not known, most of the experts agree that febrile seizure is precipitated by sharp rise in temperature ("spiking" a fever). In my experience, fever spiking increases with aggressive...

The other thing to consider with low sensitivity / low specificity tests is that at some point, other clinical signs become more relevant and better at ruling in or out certain conditions. If you have a woman using oral contraceptives complaining of lower limb pain/numbness/tingling, who just...

I would contact AK if I were you. From what you have been saying here, you haven't got much clue which way to go, and in an industry like this, you will find yourself in violation of multiple laws and regulations, not to mention you are likely putting potential patients at risk. Contact AK...

Hmmm, not sure how my speedo would be appreciated in UAE... Maybe better received than Saudi. Shoot me a PM or catch me on gmail chat. I want to hear how your studies are going.

I am an instructor for AHA and ARC. Having one certification does not cancel out the other. In fact, they both use the same consensus guidelines to design their curriculum every 5 years. What is amazing to me is that even though they use the same consensus guidelines, they are not in fact the...

I am actively involved in the second largest paramedic education program in North Texas. I also FTO'd and precepted for years. Additionally, when I finish medical school, I plan on becoming an EMS medical director. Suffice it to say, I am effecting change in my profession, and plan to continue...

I guess that makes it alright then clipper. Since there are so many unprofessional EMTs and paramedics hanging around, and nurses have to put up with them all the time, it makes sense that everyone should just go ahead and be a jerk to one another. You're right, the topic is laughable. The...

Maybe taking the time to educate the person transferring care about exactly what you want and need when taking a patient from them would be a better expenditure of your time, rather than sitting and being annoyed. I know it is an expectation that people should know their job, and in many...

I am a little bit surprised by the number of people here who seem to think that if their workload is high, or the patient is critical, it gives them license to be as crummy and ill tempered as they like. I have been in sme pretty hair raising situations, and I can count on one hand the number...

No doubt it was shady. Anyone crazy enough to take an assignment that involves removing impounded aviation equipment that is worth millions in a country that doesn't play around when it comes to sentencing thieves....is just that....crazy! You staying cool in Dubai? I almost took a faculty...

Those airframes won't be going anywhere for a long time. The Saudi's will hold a grudge (perhaps rightfully so) and they will let the airframes desintigrate just to spite Action Aviation. Just about the time the former owner thinks all is lost, the Saudi's will release the machines, albeit...

Anybody heard of the new air ambulance service launching in Bahrain? I haven't found anything about it on the internet other than they intend to start it... http://www.bna.bh/portal/en/news/570737

Or onto this forum... Thanks JP. I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't know how you're managing... Sounds horrible! :rofl: Just finished biostats (final is on monday) and start anatomy and epi in mid August. This is probably the longest break I'll have for a while. Luckily I don't have to think too hard about what I'll be doing, the wife is due...

I don't think you technically have to have multiple fishing lines. As long as you are at slow speed, you should be technically trolling...especially if you are using a "trolling" motor. The intricacies really aren't worth discussing though...

Are you on break right now JP? The first years start Monday down here.

First post, stupid question...

Probably just going to have to agree to disagree here fellas. I've seen both sides of the coin, and the answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. At this point it is just a difference of opinion on what you place importance on and how you want to prioritize and sift through...
