CA is pushing towards removing basics anyway and only running Intermediates and Medics, thus allowing anyone to shove tubes and needles into patients. Another way of terming that is, we're going to need a lot more bandages.

The other important thing to remember (especially for testing purposes) is Hypertension or Hypotension (as well as tachycardia, bradycardia, tachypnea, bradypnea etc.) are meaningless terms if the patient isn't symptomatic. By definition the average adult BP is NOW 130/90 up from the previous...
