Hi there all you great medics and paramedics and all followers I´m trying to compile the big "book" of scenarios, for use in training of CPs, medics and paras. The end result will be shared online at this forum. Please send me your imaginary or real life scenarios and lets make a big...

Another simple one A kid, say around 2-3 years suffers from intermittent bowel movements of a very loose character. Seems to be well nurished, alert, plays with toys in the waiting room. Based on your current work geography please give diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment. FOR...

Pulling two back to back shifts 4 pm to 8 am at the A&E. Been busy so far, but now its time to get some zzzzzz. Will repost in the morning and let you all know how it went.

Did you ever assemble a kit. Lots of thread, but not really a kit list. If you still need it, PM me.

I second (or third) that. Its a lot cheaper, and a lot more realistic. Just trim the wool (ROFL)

Good single malt, old age, anywhere anytime... The best glass of whiskey I ever had was on the icecap in Greenland. The air being released from ice had been in there for 3000 years... Northern light above me and the sound and smell of the ice....

You have what we doctors call a cold pneumonia. Favourite choice of drugs for this is Azythromycin, or Zitromax. 500 mg once a day for three days. Alternate Roxythromycin 300 mg x 1 a day for ten days. If this doesnt work -> call the undertaker

Liam, you can spend fortunes on courses, kits, tools, books, etc. You can have the best kit in the world, but by the end of day, what it takes to become a good medic is experience, experience and experience. By far the most dangerous (and annyoing) medic is the one with all the course, but...

Glædelig jul og godt nytår fra 19.etage på Herlev Hospital, København. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year from the 19th floor of Herlev Hospital, University Hospital of Copenhagen

Im my humble experience, what many of you lads from the CP side of the fence need, is wet work. See as many patients as you can, see as many sprained ankles, allergies, heart patients etc. An option to build a firm clinical base is RC or similar organizations. The different private vendors of...

I´ve been training in both the medical and the tactical world for the last ten years. As a ATLS-instructor the doctrine is to have the test in a very low stress environment. Thats changing within the medical community towards more realistic training facilities, as the the Danish Institute...

The combination of EMS and Fire Service has been a fact in Denmark for a very long time. Initially the ambulances were as many other places in the world dispatched from a local hospital but now they´re all dispatched directly from the 911 switchboard. In many of the "bigger" danish cities the...

i totally agree. I have just learned that several of our competitors undercuts our prices (privat ambulance services) by merely not reporting VAT, employment taxes and not having the proper insurance, even though they claim to be "overinsured". The IRS peoples respomce "Not sure we have the...

From a doctors point of view... If you need an ECG to determine prehospitally whether a patient has cardiac arrest or not.......you failed BLS, ALS, every bloody LS course there is. Patients, that are unconscious and dont breathe have cardiac arrest and BLS procedures should be started...

PHTLS is very advanced. Unless the course provider is really sliding, it should not and was never intended to be an easy course to pass. I know of trained paramedics and senior EMTs who practically wet them selves before their PHTLS exam. I have personally had to flunk SENIOR Consultants in...
