It might be better if you left that up to the father of the 13 year old.

Why not a programmable lighted sign mounted on the command post that can be seen for 500 yards for directions from command and an adaptation of scuba signals for person to person? Or maybe tree climbing signals? http://www.treeworld.info/attachments/f9/15711d1275624661-hand-verbal-signals-tree-climbing-crew-tw-hand-signals.jpg

Don't forget the part where she asks him to "lend" her money so she can get some repairs done to her car when it's actually going to support her "friend's" drug habit. No doubt the two of them will end up like this couple. (not needles, the other two) http://www.theglobea...content=2430837 http://fullcomment.n...rd-trial-hears/

No prob here Mike.

I'm with Dwayne on this one. She'll probably be pissed at you and you'll probably end up breaking up, but there are a million dating websites out there that'll have plenty of willing women on them. If she chooses her friendship with him over her relationship with you, it's her loss. Besides, I can see you're already having doubts. If you're at that point, you know what you need to do.

Hi back, welcome. Don't be shy, jump into any conversation that interests you or start one of your own.

You're welcome Frank.

I think I just PMed my pants.

Well, it is for me I suppose

DFIB, how did you know she did well before she did? hmmm.... Got her results, 94% on the written and passed both scenarios. Over half her class has to redo the scenario portion. Thanks for the info guys, it helped alleviate her anxiety.

Isn't that what continuing medical education is supposed to prevent?

Yup, I call all my slaves, slaves. She's a very good natured girl. She'll be happy to hear your consensus, I like my slaves to be happy. Thanks a bunch.

You've pretty much described our situation. I even got my fingers slapped about 15 years ago because we were running L&S to the L&D with a maternity and the Ministry of Health told me that I am trained in childbirth and there is no need for us to be in a rush. Here's the problem, the only way to determine if birth is imminent (besides the obvious crowning and other external signs) is an internal exam. Not even our ALS providers have that in their scope. Our local hospital can do imminent childbirths and will keep the patient in the hospital if it appears the mother will deliver within the hour, but, 95% of the time the labour has just started and might be 2 - 3 cm, basically, the ambulance is a taxi ride to the L&D. Our local docs are being over taxed with unnecessary ER visits and are seeking ways to reduce being phoned at home in the middle of the night. In the case of a maternity, they come down, assess the patient, and send her to an obs. Waste of time for the mother and ruins his night. What he would like is for us to take these maternity patients direct to the obs instead. I'm fine with the idea, but he and we both answer to the public via the health region board of directors and the Ministy of Health. It is they whom we need to persuade to permit this bypass. Our Emerg can handle childbirth, but there are two types, elective and emergent. Our ER doesn't do Elective Childbirths and will only do Emergent (imminent). I hope I didn't muddy the waters any more.

So, one of my slaves is taking her first PALS class and she's worried that she flunked a scenario because she did 2 minutes of CPR on a peds patient in Vfib rather than defib ASAP. I tried to determine if this is considered a Critical Error, but I can't find any reference. Any PALS instructors out there know if this would be an automatic fail for her?

This kinda bugs me. Why is it your responsibility to know what is or is not available at every hospital? How are you to know if the part time on call obstetrician at hospital ABC is currently available?

Then you'll be happy to hear that we also have side view blind spot cameras.

How can I ever take you seriously when you use a graphic from "The Daily Show"?

Wait a minute, I thought I was married to the greatest woman on the planet....you mean all this time I've been living a lie? Sob... Oh, the humanity. Sob.. Oh, and welcome to the forums. Sob.. Gonna go hide my head in a bucket and hit it with a hammer for a while. Okay, I'm better now...after a half dozen raps with the hammer i realized that I'm married to the greatest woman in the UNIVERSE!!!! So there too!!

Prometheus, MENSA is the top 2%, they'll let anyone in there. Prometheus admits the top 0.003% or 1 in 30,000. Depends on the testing used but as an example of the WAIS-III scores, MENSA requires an IQ above 130, Prometheus is 189. For the record, I was kidding about being in Prometheus....I refuse to pay good money for someone to tell me how smart I am when I already know.

You were doing a spectacular job piecing together a coherent post, right up until the third word from the end.

When I first read this thread I thought it might be about fellow Prometheus Society members. Oh Well, I'll just wallow here in my 0.003%

SPOILER ALERT!!!! The climax of the movie involves a group of Predators saving the humans from the Aliens.

So...nothing has changed there over the past 3 years since that show was aired?
