The statement "you picked him" was intended to rock the OP out of her victim stance. The fact is, she has control over her life. Now he may have changed, she may have changed, but "you picked him" is intended to direct responsibility back onto her shoulders. Note that I said responsibility not blame. The fact is she did pick him. Its the truth. And if she examines why she picked him, and honestly addresses her own part in the process, than growth and thus change is inevitable. She is getting nowhere blaming the ex whether it is true or half true or not. This is irrelevant and only useful insomuch as it illuminates her own actions and motivations. If she does not change the way she views herself and thus her relationship with her son, then nothing meaningful will change either.

I'm not saying she did anything wrong. The lady wrote in to ask for advice. Something is going wrong in her relationship with her son. He is expressing a great deal of anger, a lot of it directed toward her. Often, it's because she is the parent that is there - the one the child feels safest expressing his anger towards because deep down he/she knows that parent will always love them. The child is identifying with the parent that he/she feels has the most power. As long as the OP persists in the thought stream that this no-goodnik did her and her children wrong, she is misdirecting her energies. The frustration and anger her son feels is due at least to some part in this dynamic. She needs to take her power back. I may have been blunt, but if you think I owe the OP an apology, then you have misunderstood me.

In Thailand, children as young as 8 and 9 are the family bread winners in Muy thai. It is distressing to watch kids being knocked senseless and bleeding - no ref to stop it when a submission was set. In China, children are taken at age 3 and 4 from their families and live in gymnastics camps. I've seen children crying from the pain of forced stretches for flexibility. Children all over the world work in fields, factories and brothels. I am a martial arts enthusiast. Kids start at my dojang at age 4. They do NOT get hurt, but they most certainly are pushed to train and some forced to attend for the benefits of discipline and fitness. What is harmful and what is not are a function of the sensibilities of the culture, tempered by need to survive. As long as parents raise children, there will be harm done on some level.

The addiction rate of health care professionals is much higher than that of the general population. It is a big, untalked about problem. I think people become addicted because of the stress levels of the job combined with the easy access to meds. When pain patients start getting their meds diverted, it becomes unconscionable. We all need to guard against it. Never get lax with procedures for controlling narcs.

Don't stop posting chbare - we need all the smart people we can get. Good luck and stay safe.

You picked him - chose him to be the father of your children.

And not just in Italy - I found that to be true through most of Europe, even in Scandinavia. Most people don't know it, but the Nazis exterminated huge numbers of Europe's gypsies. These people have a long history of persecution. I am sure that you are right - that the reaction would have been very different if the victims were not Gypsies.

I guess it depends on the individual as much as anything else. If I saw the bodies of two young girls laid out on the beach it would definitely ruin my day. I would be sad and pensive.. and I sure wouldn't stay on the beach... but I would not presume to judge how others behave or react.

So, if you are a Boston FF, the punishment for fraud is to get your job back ? There has got to be more to this story than reported.

Two wrongs would not make a right spen - he didn't deserve the second chance either the son of a b****.

No offense ladybear, but constantly badmouthing his father is not doing your son any good whatsoever. I know what I am talking about - My first husband was a jerk, but I NEVER said a bad word about him when my daughters were growing up. In terms of your issue, any kid of mine who told me to FU in text, attitude, verbally, spelled out or not got an immediate attitude adjustment - and no, I don't mean hitting them. It sounds to me like you need to send that child to gramma and grampas, cause lady, you are floundering. Good luck to you.

yeah - totally what he said. Come clean - do it quick and document everything.

congrats - very well done. A tip of the hat to you!

OK - so if the exam does not contribute to the ability to provide highest (not high or quality, but highest) quality care then why bother with the exam? and this is a spokesman for the service - *** shakes head ****

Michael.. I'm surprised at you. http://www.emtcity.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.ph...sed&start=0

oops.. double post

One of the things to remember is that 25gms of sugar is not a ton of sugar. A can of coke has 39gms. The patient needs to eat.

VentMedic - you are so d*** smart! Thank you for the continuing ed.

IP addresses are dynamically assigned when you log into your ISP. This IP address is easily obtained by many different programs some of them shareware. I've seen them embedded in in web pages that display your current IP address as you access the page. There are programs that will identify the ISP as well. Once you have that information, you must contact the ISP adminstrator to get a user name and address that corresponded to that IP address at that time. Most will tell you to step off UNLESS you have a court order or are a member of law enforcement. If you read the fine print on your service agreement, I think they will tell you their policy about releasing your name and address. Now this is my understanding. Lord knows I am routinely educated by the smarter and more up to date on this board. Take care

The other thing that is useful with a patient with increasing ICP is hyperventilation. Blowing off the CO[sub:6d6f6f1c85]2[/sub:6d6f6f1c85] is helpful to reduce swelling. This is another balancing act as the trick is to keep partial pressure of CO[sub:6d6f6f1c85]2[/sub:6d6f6f1c85] around 40 - too low and you risk hypoxia. With increased ICP, you are going to have a cushings response, where the BP rises in an attempt to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure. This is a late sign. This patient needs a neurosurgeon and effective prehospital treatment is limited. This is a beat feet situation for sure.

So sorry to hear your little one is so ill. I know it is very scary. You and your family are in my thoughts. Please let us know how it is going.

Rest in Peace Dr. and thank you.

I did the test at the end of May of this year. I found it challenging, more for it's "best answer" approach than my knowledge of the material. If you know what you are doing, you will be fine. Good luck.

Point well taken - however - you are a Canadian. I have seen Canadian vs. US nursing homes. Remember that most of the posts here are from the US.

Good luck with medic school - you will love it - definitely a high point in my life. Regarding your Dell.. I called up customer service telling them my dell was overheating and that I wanted it fixed. It took 4 days, but eventually they sent me a brand new one free. Google dell and overheating. Dont tell them that your system is busted - tell them you work with it - it overheats and freezes - and you just want it fixed. Those things are a danger and Dell wants them out of your hands.. I have a brand new laptop to replace the one that was 7 years old - and all I really wanted was for them to fix mine
