Its not that hard of a difference to understand, and since you have both racemic and another type (I believe L, but I'm not sure, nor is epi in my scope of practice anyways. There is a difference between not understanding something above your scope and not understanding something in your scope of practice). If you don't understand the difference between racemic and nonracemic, then how could you even begin to understand why there is a difference with how it works?

Do you even know what "racemic" means?

Yea, you give it for the sz, you use it to treat the true problem (fever). There was two things my EMT instructor crammed down the students' throat. Left lateral position for pregnant patients and watch out for febrile sz's for kids.

Not even oxygen? Please tell me that you aren't allowed to touch patients except under direct supervision of an EMT who didn't get their card from a crackerjack box.

One person who got the god syndrome a little early does not make everyone butt hurt. I would call him a tool, but I don't want to hurt my BP cuff's feelings. /Yes, my BP cuff has feelings. //I love him [bP cuff, for clarity], and pet him, and call him George...

Hmm, that might be a little too large for the gamma knife. What I picked up on google when I was checking the Latin earlier was pituitary cancer (which would cause blindness in both peripheries, but leave the middle of the visual field unaffected), but cancer at the visual cortex seems about right too.

:blinks: :looks at title of this section: fun-ney stu-ff? Hmm... The above post is decidedly not funny.

48% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom. What sort persom says "per-job-mas" or a bag a "poke." /regional bias.

Fixed...

find a host (photobucket.com works like a charm and is free). Upload picture. Paste URL in the following format: (Photobucket has it already set up).

I'll take an MRI for good measure besides the CT. Also, you might want to start warming up the gamma knife...

Ok, I should have put right visual cortex off of the initial post (crazy little cross over those nerves do), but put it as left because of the problems that she has been having with the bushes recently. Hx of cancer, so possible relapse with metastasis to someplace in the brain. Possible problems do to head injury.

Assess visual fields. One eye at a time, check when she first sees a pen in her peripheral vision. I'm saying contusion of the left visual cortex for the win. What sort of workup did she have after the MVC?

Um, we do still have EMT-II (NREMT-I). If we don't, then why does the state still have an active EMT-II committe (http://www.emsa.cahwnet.gov/def_comm/062806agenda.asp)? They are few and far between because the EMT-II is viewed as a limited life support provider and counties are not allowed to use them as a substitute for ALS providers, so counties have to petition to use them (California also allows basics to do some crazy things, again with strict oversight and a need. Basically, if you're not in the middle of no where, Basic's with larger scopes of practice and intermediates are going to be hard to find). The last number I've been able to find was less then 200 EMT-IIs in 2000, but I remember finding a more up to date number a few months ago.

...matched to the current Homeland Security alert system (green isn't going to come out of hiding any time soon). /have seen 5 of those. //has had to kicked his partner (read driver) out of the back of the unit before.

...and the GABA receptors rejoiced.

Ahh, but the case at hand was a B/P unit, not an intercept unit+BLS ambulance.

You can never dress up too much for an interview. At the very least, black slacks, collared shirt, and nice shoes. Bonus points for coat and tie, though. No jeans, no holes, etc. First impression is everything.

When talking about EMS, I believe that definitive care is achieved when the optimal level of care can be provided for the acute or emergent disorder. Following that, some things are definitive care for prehospital (nontraumatic arrests, for example. The body doesn't care if the epi is being pushed an EMT-P under standing orders from an MD or being pushed by an RN under direct orders from an MD), some are definitive in the ED, and some are definitive in other hospital departments (cath lab, OR, etc), or other hospitals (trauma center vs. basic ED).

I give these games a GCS of 3... Little known fact. Chuck Norris once got a GCS of 16... /obligatory Chuck Norris joke

Taught and absorbed are two different words. For a lot of basics, sayings like that go in one ear and out the other.

I would say start off reading something like this: then move on to something like this: (neuroscience) Read them while working or something. A chapter or two every few days shouldn't take too long. Bonus points if you read them for a class.
