Yeah....even as someone who is designing his own aircraft as a hobby project, I still look at a lot of that and go "Why precisely is that worth bothering with?"

Seriously....unless you are seriously academically lacking, it is probably just going to drain your bank account for little if any gain. These types of courses prey upon the slow, weak and stupid in our ranks based upon their fear.

Why would you need a prep course? If you really want to prep for it, take some college courses in chemistry, anatomy, physiology, English composition, physics, etc.

I actually don't like airshows all that much especially when the fighter jets come out. That's my cue to go inside. Too much noise, not enough interest....

Kat and I have had dinner with Fearless Leader... For those of you who are not also members of the Critical Care Medicine discussion list: http://www.ccm-l.org/fearless.html

Any show in particular? I happen to really like Air Crash Investigation.

Is it bad that both Kat and I went 'I wonder how far a squirrel would fly after being launched like that?'

FIRE AT WILL!

:glare:

Nothing says "Attention local people with a beef with the police: Please bust in my windows" quite like that.

They only allow those with exceptionally small genitalia to possess them.

Rule #1: Operate as though everyone around you is drunk, high, stupid, ignorant, oblivious, distracted or just a good ol' fashioned sadistic ***hole until given conclusive evidence to refute such beliefs in a given case. Apply this as broadly or as narrowly as you see fit.

Precisely why if the patient may well have a reversible cause of their unconsciousness (re: hypoglycemia)? Bag the patient, push the D50 (or glucagon) and see if that gets their glucose level back up and if the patient comes around. If that does not work, then and only then, would i consider...

You do realize that a brain injury can occur simply from hypoglycemia right? This is one of those scenarios where you correct the problems you are confronted with and worry about sorting out what caused it later (if at all) since the patient doesn't have time for such pedantic academic exercises.

One should always approach all test questions like they are going to count against you.

I know. Nothing says "We are always watching" like a 45 second turn around on an infraction. :P

There's always a chance you failed. I doubt how quickly something comes (especially if it takes six weeks) is a valid predictor of success or failure and there is probably no conclusive data to say one way or the other. I guess you shall see what your n=1 experience will be. By the way...

Why do you think that?

I might be a little brash, but it's not malicious, I assure you. Most people simply lack the ability or will to be critically self-assessing. My goal is to force people to do so for their own benefit, that of their patients and (potential) colleagues.
