    Indeed. Nice that he has registered to the forum with what appears to be a domain name registered in his name. WHOIS also contains a mobile phone number. Oh the fun I may have Let's see how he pans out before I create some ads for some man to man "services" adverts using it.

    Congrats EO - a very tough occupation, I am not surprised you are proud of her achievements!

    Although I think you are right a tube stuffed in to free the airway might technically be a cannula I think it would normally be referred to as a trachyoctomy (sp)

    There was a serious road collision and no other vehicles were available so the control room asked if they were up for it.
    When they got to the scene there was an ambulance with two crew, but one was a driver, the second a technician, they weren't qualified to do the neccessary. She said they looked at her, the police looked at her, and she thought 'there must be 40 years of professional experience there, all waiting on me'
    anyway, she boinged into action, got a canular(whatever that is) into a youth who was about to die, sorted the others out who had minor injuries, then took the youth to the hospital.


    meanwhile I am working on a particularly tough vb loop. puts it all into perspective really




    FTFY
