Software Sought

Recently purchased a Palm Centro. Looking for the best reference guide type software to install.....let me know your thoughts....

So far....have these reccomendations: Emedic and Pepid.

Tell me what you think in comments...

Trauma Study

Via EMS magazine a Canadian study on BLS V. ALS treatment of trauma. Among the info presented, "Survival did not differ overall (81.1% among patients in the advanced
life-support phase v. 81.8% among those in the basic life-support phase; p = 0.65)." Also, "We also found that during the advanced lifesupport phase, mortality was greater among patients with
Glasgow Coma Scale scores less than 9."

I've always been told that a good basic saves a medic or that to be a good medic you must 1st be a good basic. This study seems to be consistent with that.

It's Time

Report that Packers offered Favre many millions not to play. OK it's courage of convictions time. If you don't want Favre to play then let him go. Yes its risky, yes you get no compensation but it at least moves this situation onto the post Packers career phase...

Punter News....

I missed this....Packers released P Kenny DeBauche due to being up against the 80 man roster limit. This means Jon Ryan has no camp competition.

P.S. Favre has applied for reinstatement. You won't find much comment on this or any other aspect here. I'll focus on other aspects of the team letting the rest of the world give you # 4 updates.

Kids

Had a female teenager who said she took 4 600 mg ibuprofens. She didn't want to harm herself. No, she wanted to get high. Kids these days, don't they even know anything about drugs?!

Dry


At work yesterday I heard a couple of calls for grass fires. Sign of dry times,eh? Being a CoCoRaHs participant I can tell you that the last rain at my house was July 20th when we received .09 inches. There are no red flag warnings, but with more dryness I suppose there could be.
