    The write stuff: Hospitals resort to penmanship classes for doctors

    Same here Rid, I have written in cursive my entire life, and now I find that it is too messy for reports that others have to read. But the problem when I try to print is that it looks like a 6 year old wrote it....

    You know as well as I do that while it is great political rhetoric, what you suggest is not possible. How do we stop those small % of individuals who wish to harm? We have rules/laws that tries to not only punish them, but stop them before they act. Innocent people will very rarely get in the...

    All that is good talk for political purposes, but in all reality, a very very small percentage of the population has been effected by any of the implimented rules. And I find it funny that the media jumps over any small mistake by the government and shrugs off any terror plots or activities that...

    I was actually requesting that you elaborate on your statement that we are living in a "police state." I agree there is a problem, I never stated there wasn't...But just because there is a high rate of the population in prison doesn't define a "police state"....

    can you elaborate on how we are living in a police state? There is a big difference between advocating a government that doesnt do anything to help the people and advocating personal responsibilty for the masses...

    I would agree that funding is a bit skewed in terms of national defense, I don't like the argument that "National priorites proj." puts forth that for every dollar we spend on X, we could have done millions of good things for Y(homeless children, education...). That doesn't make any...

    Amiodarone Vs. Lidocaine

    From what I have heard, there is a statistically significant improvement in outcome with Amio as compared to Lido in Shock resistant rhythms...BUT the many trials do seem to present conflicting reports, but usually do show Amiodarone is "better"...but the definition of better is subjective...

    Please Help-This is getting Scary

    You say that you are putting in 5-8 hrs studying for paramedic class on non-class days?? I don't know about most people, but I would consider that more than excessive... Are you sure you are putting in good hours? Its more important to study well for 1hr than to stare/"read" a book for 5. You...

    What a waste of life

    Not to downplay this TCERT, but I remember reading that your majoring is Psy. I too, am majoring in Psy, and am taking Abnormal Psy this year, and we were learning about the signs associated with Suicide and whether it is evident long before the incident. No doubt she was depressed, I was...

    ITLS or PHTLS - which one and why?

    Actually, I was kinda implying that all of those classes are pretty much the same (atleast as far as Pre-hospital is concerned). But as Guardian pointed out, I guess there are minor differences... I still dont like the idea of 2 day certification classes (other than ACLS for the most part)...

    ITLS or PHTLS - which one and why?

    hah! what a huge money making scheme.... BTLS, ATLS, ITLS, PHTLS... Oh yea, we have "ITLS" here...Speaking of these 2 day provider classes...anyone else find the emphasis on them a bit unnerving? Those that I've taken, other than ACLS for the most part, were a joke...
