Bad heat stroke can present similarly. How was she mental status? You say GCS-15 but was she lethargic? Did she remember what happened? Did you try breaking her heart rate? IV's?

Really, as long as you have control of the ball when you cross the plane.. it counts as a score, right?

Having been in the Penn. Nat. Guard, I feel you pain in convincing the chain of command. Unfortunately, leaders don't sometimes see the big picture. Not to sound cliche, but it's that whole "fighting the last war" mentality. I wish I could have gone back to my old unit to give them a nudge...

If you need help along the way go ahead an shoot me a PM, but don't worry about the medical training. All training you will do in the Army is designed for you to pass it, if you make the effort.

Here is a plan for you to study while you are on medical hold: 1- Do PT as much as you can. While you are on hold you will be tempted to get fat and lazy. DO NOT slack off on this! 2- When you can smoke the highest age-group standards for 80%, keep doing PT. (Don't forget your pull ups!.. no lesss t...

A lot of cats didn't like him, outright hated him... (he once told an officer to get the fuck out of his office that he was shit outta luck because the they didn't give the proper six week notice to request med coverage for a range.. And the BCO backed him up!..) I guaren-fucking-tee you a lot of mo...

Indeed, they have 1SG. It's quite impressive the strides that have been made. A lot of the credit goes to a 3rd Batt. senior medic whom I'm sure you remember well.. a very, ahem, "outspoken" individual?.. I'm sure it is one of the reasons there are such low numbers of KIA; The emergency ca...

MTOE and packing lists are somewhat secure and better accessed through military channels not internet chat rooms. I recommend that you PM Fish for the appropriate action to get this kind of information. If you are asking individuals Ranger medics what equipment has served them well and what they wo...

There is a great Bill Moyers special where he follows this Harvard trained western doc around China and learns about all the traditional chineese medicine. They have a specialty in massage, just like we have orthopedics. The teacher was saying that students are only allowed to touch a person once th...

Alright, here it is... The Chinese doc has me drinking a tea twice a day made from mostly pine needles and lemon rind. The chinese name for the pine needles you need is MA HUANG. Don't buy the supplements, you have to get to a Chinese store and buy the actual little green pointy things. I can ship ...

BTW, Congrats on graduating....

Thats cuz we had those old-ass, crusty motherfucking hand me down bags that ALL had busted zippers. The ones with a nylon zipper held up pretty good... Hey man, call me sentimental

depending upon how much meducal supplies you are going to have and what level of care you are going to provide should drive your choices. if your need one bag for light ops, the london bridge is hard to beat (I think they call it a Para-Rescue bag..) I wasn't a big fan of the Blackhawk, but it is ve...
